Mountain View's rent- control program has already survived political and legal trials -- but what about the business test? An increasing number of apartment owners appear to be cashing out rather than working under the new restrictions. If the trend continues, some say it will lead to a cascade of redevelopment spearheaded by large corporate buyers . This scenario would result in older apartments being phased out and replaced with new housing that is exempt from rent control. Those looking at the data with a more critical eye point out that sales of apartment buildings are up throughout the South Bay, and that the number of buyers indicates a healthy interest in investing in Mountain View housing , regardless of rent control. To take one example, Fremont residents Ann and Paul Lethers decided in June to sell their 18-unit complex on Del Medio Avenue in Mountain View, which they created from separate purchases of two adjacent nine-unit buildings. They say they h...

HARRISON, NY – A 421- unit luxury rental community is being built on the site of two former office buildings along the I-287 corridor once a mecca for businesses. The apartment building on Corporate Park Drive will have retail on the first floor and an in- building parking garage . Amenities will include a club room, fitness center, kid’s playroom, pet spa, bike lounge, craft room, co-working lounge and pool. The Carraway development is another example of an ongoing trend of repurposing vacant office buildings along Westchester’s Platinum Mile into residential and retail uses, including a fitness center on what was once the site of The Journal News building in Harrison and plans for a Wegmans supermarket on a former office building site on Corporate Park Drive .

The kids are not all right—or so the click-bait headlines would lead you to believe. There are countless stories about those flighty millennials who job-hop every year, are crazy-obsessed with their iPhone phablets and shell out too much on  Instagrammable avocado toast or kale smoothies to move out of their parents’ basements and ( gasp !) pay their own rent. There's more than a hint of truth to that last part. About 15% of 25- to 35-year-olds were still crashing with their folks in 2016, according to a  Pew Research study . And that leaves 85% either cramming into apartments with friends or living solo. The young-at- heart data team at realtor.com® decided to dig into these numbers. As it turns out, where millennials are living plays a big role in whether they   are   most likely to live alone, as opposed to with their folks. And there's a lot of variation across the country, we learned. Related Articles "We definitely see a larger percentage of millennials living at...

Vanguard Group is fast becoming a dominant investor in the U.S. real estate industry . Securities and Exchange Commission reports compiled by Bloomberg show that the company’s mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are now the leading owners of real estate investment trusts (REITs), the tax- protected investor funds that own many of the nation’s offices, shopping centers, apartments, hotels, warehouses, and data and storage centers. Including its indexed stock and REIT-focused funds, Malvern- based Vanguard owns 18 percent of Host Hotels & Resorts, whose portfolio includes Ritz -Carlton, Marriott, and Westin hotels; 15 percent of Simon Property Group , the national mall owner that counts King of Prussia Mall among its holdings; and a similar share of Prologis, the warehouse giant. Locally, Vanguard funds control 16 percent each of Brandywine Realty Trust , which owns a majority of Center City’s highest buildings; Liberty Property Trust ...

When it comes to qualifying potential sales and leasing leads that call in to the brokerage, brokers have had two options in the past.  They can qualify those leads themselves, which takes up valuable time when they really should be in the field selling, or they can hire a real estate assistant to qualify the incoming leads .  Even highly motivated real estate assistants find qualifying incoming leads an exhausting and boring chore.  Omniquo’s industry leading artificial intelligence (AI) based product OMNIQ solves this problem.
