Section of rendering by architect Stephen Jacobs . A proposed five-story mixed use building with 116 apartments and ground-floor restaurant and retail uses on East Main Street and McDermott Avenue won approval of the Riverhead Town Board Tuesday night . In a split 3-1 vote, the board approved a pair of resolutions that simultaneously dispensed with extended environmental review and approved a site plan and special permit for the “ Riverview Lofts ” project proposed by Georgica Green Ventures LLC of Jericho. The actions green-light the construction of the five-story building with 12,623 square feet of first- floor commercial space , 55 on- site parking spaces and four-stories consisting of 116 workforce rental apartments : 31 studio, 37 one-bedroom and 28 two-bedroom units. Councilman Tim Hubbard , without comment, cast the lone vote against both measures. Councilwoman Jodi Giglio , an owner of Summerwind Square — the first mixed-use apartment building built in the downtown dis...

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. ...

MARTINEZ — Saying the project will provide needed housing and almost single-handedly rejuvenate a threadbare commercial corridor , Contra Costa County supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved the $100 million Saranap Village commercial/retail mixed use project that figures to transform a tired commercial strip between Walnut Creek and Lafayette. The supervisors approved zoning and planning changes needed for the project, which would have up to 198 housing units (122 apartments, 76 condos), approximately 21,522 square feet of commercial space (including a small grocery store ) and 492 parking spaces, on the street and in three parking structures. The project will include parcels on both sides of Boulevard Way, this village’s main thoroughfare. “These are exactly the kinds of projects we need in the Bay Area to meet housing demand and to beautify ...

Provident Realty and the Baccuses hired O'Brien Architects to design the planned retail, restaurant and office development . "The goal is to create something iconic both architecturally and as a sense of place," said Mick Granlund, vice president at O'Brien Architects. "We have planned the site to incorporate and build upon an existing grove of beautiful trees." Office towers, hotel Early plans include three office towers of eight to 10 floors, a boutique hotel and more than 50, 000 square feet of retail space to be constructed along Spring Creek. "There are a lot of good brands for restaurants and retail that are now highly aware of Legacy, but they couldn't get into that market," Backes said. "We are giving the retailers and restaurants high visibly while still keeping the walkable, urban environment ." The retail buildings will be clustered in a park-like campus just south of the planned high-rises. "We have the capacity t...

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 non-government co- educational vertical high school , two 75- place childcare centres , a 120- bed aged care facility , 141 social housing independent living units and 132 private independent living units are also in the plans.

Posted: Aug. 24, 2017 9:15 am QUINCY -- A Quincy committee recommends that $120,000 be provided for the redevelopment of five apartments in four downtown buildings. The $120,000 investment through the city's tax increment financing rental rehab program would include private investment of more than $154,000. Chuck Bevelheimer, director of planning and development, told the TIF Rental Rehab Committee on Wednesday night that he believed the program was making a difference downtown. "When you get into renovation projects, you're always getting into something that is unknown," Bevelheimer said. "Without this program, I don't think you would be seeing the investment right now." In the first two years of the TIF rental rehab program , the city has provided $210,000 and has seen $335,800 in private investment in 10 upper- story apartments downtown . "If we're going to make market- rate housing downtown , this level of investment is necessary, and I ...

In a split vote, the Riverhead Town Board approved both the site plan and the special permit application for Georgica Green Ventures’ proposed 116-unit mixed-use apartment complex Tuesday night . The board also approved an environmental study submitted by the applicant and stated that the project will have “no significant adverse environmental impacts .” The vote was three in favor, one opposed and one abstaining. Councilman Tim Hubbard cast the no vote, and Councilwoman Jodi Giglio abstained . “There’s a lot of issues with this project that I’m concerned about,” Mr. Hubbard said, citing parking, a proposed 30- year Industrial Development Agency tax abatement , and the impact the apartments might have on school enrollment. Ms. Giglio said she asked the town ethics board for an opinion on whether she should abstain, since she is an owner of the Summerwind Square apartments downtown , and they recommended she abstain. The five-story project, Riverview Lofts , is on the southwest co...

The long retail spine of Sydney Road, Brunswick, just north of Melbourne's CBD, was once a prosperous trading outpost on the way to the goldfields. These days it's a bohemian mix of variety stores, op shops, halal butchers and Lebanese bakeries. Take a side street to the west, however, and a different picture emerges. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield train line is an area undergoing rapid and widespread transformation. Light industry is fast being replaced by mid- rise apartment buildings , their inhabitants attracted by the short commute into town and cheaper prices than in the city's south-east. The quality of these units is, on the whole, depressingly bad; think poor ventilation and bedrooms that "borrow" natural light (a weasel word for being dark and windowless). The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...
