Allen Township has cleared the way for the first step of moving the clubhouse and pro shop at Willow Brook Golf Course as part of a mixed-use development of 700 homes and a village center. The Fuller Family Trust was granted approval Tuesday by township supervisors for the transfer of a liquor license from the existing clubhouse to a new one planned to serve the golf course. Board approval of the transfer was necessary because it crosses municipal boundaries – the present clubhouse falls within North Catasauqua while the new one will be within Allen Township . Under the development plans , Willow Brook Golf Course would be reduced to nine holes. Plans call for an existing “L” barn used for boarding horses during equestrian events at Willow Brook Farms to be converted into the new clubhouse and pro shop, said Christopher Lloyd, a trustee for the Fuller Family. The 2,000-square-foot structure, located in the middle of the farm, will be re-purposed in order to provide seating for...

When Mayor de Blasio held a press conference in May 2014 to debut his new affordable housing plan , his full- color presentation touted a project called Spring Creek in Brooklyn. Spring Creek was flagged as a “case study” partnership between the city and developers to “create a strong, vibrant and self-sustaining neighborhood.” But on Friday, the bulk of that project remained a big, ugly vacant field of weeds and abandoned roadway in East New York. More than 1,500 of 1, 803 planned affordable units are now in a bureaucratic Twilight Zone — and may become less affordable as a result. “There is no progress from the progressive mayor ,” said the Rev. David Brawley, a leader of East Brooklyn Congregations , one of the groups sponsoring Spring Creek . Brawley said the delays to Spring Creek caused by the de Blasio administration are particularly ironic given that the mayor cited the project in his promise to build or preserve 200, 00...

The Oglala- led community development corporation looks for solutions that grow out of local experience. Food sovereignty, youth leadership, and social enterprise drive the organization, which has an ambitious plan to build a model sustainable community on the Pine Ridge Reservation . Share This: As the organization celebrates its 10 th anniversary, a Native American community development corporation started by young people is building an ambitious, authentically Lakota rural community from the ground up on the Pine Ridge Reservation . “Whether it’s food poverty, or the lack of jobs, or the huge housing shortage here at Pine Ridge, we start by asking why we haven’t figured it out. Where are the gardens? Where are the homes? It’s like no one had ever questioned these things,” said Jennifer Irving, Director of Regional Equity for the Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation . Thunder Valley describes itself as a “ grassroots community development corporation guided by th...

STANTIALL STUDIO/SUPPLIED OPINION: Here's a question: where do you take guests from out of town on a sunny weekend in Wellington City ? Chances are Shelly Bay isn 't at the top of your list. Not yet, that is. We now have a once-in-a-generation chance to create a modern and authentically Wellington destination that all of us will be able to enjoy. A laidback spot to enjoy a picnic, grab a coffee or simply relax and watch the world go by. That's why I'm so disappointed to see opposition from the Miramar Business Improvement District to the proposed plan. What they're doing in effect is trying to keep more Wellingtonians out of the area.

Frasers Property Australia , Citta Property Group and Mission Australia have won the tender for the $2. 2 billion redevelopment of the Ivanhoe public housing estate in Macquarie Park, in north-east Sydney. The project is set to achieve high sustainability outcomes , such as carbon neutral operation , but while the news has been welcomed by many in the property industry , it has also raised questions about just how replicable this model of public housing funding is. The master plan for the 8.2 hectare site will see 259 existing low - density public housing dwellings demolished and replaced with more than 3000 dwellings built by the Aspire consortium, including at least 950 new social housing apartments and 128 affordable rental apartments .

A more than 250- unit apartment complex could be coming to the area between the Mall of Georgia and Coolray Field. The county’s Planning Commission is scheduled to consider a request by Pedcor Investments to recommend approval of a 256- unit apartment complex on 23.2 acres at the 1300 and 1400 blocks of Laurel Crossing Parkway next month. The site is east of Buford Drive and just south of Interstate 85 in the Mall of Georgia Overlay District . “The proposed development would add an important component to that encouraged mix of uses,” attorney Shane Lanham wrote in a letter to county officials. “Moreover, the proposed development is consistent with established development patterns and land uses in the area. “More intense commercial and office uses are dominant along major travel corridors with land uses transitioning to lower density developments moving off the roadway. The property is not located directly on Buford Drive, but on Laurel Crossing Parkway behind existing commercia...

A new Kroger supermarket on the edge of Dallas' Arts District will offer more than groceries. The supermarket chain plans for its new store to be part of a mixed-use development that includes hundreds of new apartments. Kroger last year purchased a block of land on Hall Street between Ross Avenue and North Central Expressway . It's just across the highway from downtown and in an area that's seeing rapid redevelopment. Early this year Kroger filed plans with the City of Dallas to build just a supermarket and surface parking on the site. But now the grocery giant has teamed up with a local apartment builder and wants to include 375 apartments with the project. The development designed by Dallas architect GFF would have four stories of rental units on top of a 2- level Kroger store , plans for the project show. Dallas- based apartment builder Trinsic Residential Group would build the rental units on top of the grocery store and parking garage at Hall and Flora streets. ...
