Apartment Look

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Playhouse Square  agreed Thursday after some pressure from city planning officials to install a 20-foot- deep retail strip on the ground floor of a parking garage designed to serve a proposed 34- story apartment tower . The agreement capped a back-and-forth discussion at the meeting of the Downtown Flats Design Review Committee over schematic plans for the $ 135 million tower , on which Playhouse Square hopes to break ground late this year for the project. A revised ground floor plan for the Playhouse Square apartment tower garage shows how the theater district would reserve 1, 900 square feet on the Euclid Avenue side of the garage for retail. Solomon Cordwell Buenz   The tower would rise on the southwest corner of Euclid Avenue and East 17th Street . The committee -which advises the city's planning commission - approved the schematics. But the vote only came after the committee explored  whether Playhouse Square would do more than install a row of ...

Six years ago, Mike Brown and Casey Lynch stood on Downtown Boise ’s 8th Street and wondered: Why don’t more people live here? Downtown seemed to have everything that a growing percentage of Americans wanted in a place to live. “I mean, there’s all kinds of jobs. There’s a million coffee shops and hair salons and restaurants, and there’s an active street life ,” says Brown, who founded the Los Angeles- based development company LocalConstruct with Lynch in 2008. Casey Lynch, left, and Mike Brown have made their mark in Boise. Provided by LocalConstruct But in 2011, fewer than 4,000 people lived in Downtown’s scattered apartment and condominium buildings and houses. On a typical weekday afternoon , most Downtown workers got in their cars and put the city in the rearview mirror. Brown and Lynch saw an opportunity. They thought Boiseans would trade ample floor space and vaulted ceilings in the suburbs for smaller, high- end Downtown apartments that offered amenities like gyms, a do...

TRENTON -- The year was 1917 and the Roebling complex's Clark Street Rope Shop in Trenton reopened after being gutted by a fire two years earlier. The new building was ultramodern for its day, with steel trusses, fire-resistant materials and massive windows that flooded the space with natural daylight. It's here where the wire used in Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis plane was believed to be manufactured. Now, a century later, the building has been reinvented as the Roebling Lofts with 16-to-24-foot ceilings, 10-foot windows and environmentally friendly features . The latest project by Trenton- based HHG Development , it aims to combine the old with the new. "It was always obvious to us that this was the best development site in Trenton," Michael Goldstein, one of the principals, said during a recent building tour . "We've always had our eyes on it." But it wasn't until January 2011 that the county approved a development agreement with HH...

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The owner of downtown Cleveland's fourth-tallest building is doing an about-face, marketing the Tower at Erieview and the adjacent Galleria shopping mall for sale after more than a year of exploring a partial conversion of the skyscraper to apartments. RAIT Financial Trust recently put the buildings on the market, at an undisclosed price. A listing package from real estate company HFF , Inc., started making the rounds last week. The 40-story tower, at East 12 th Street and St. Clair Avenue, is only 45 percent leased, according to HFF's listing materials. The glassy, barrel- shaped Galleria is 60 percent leased. The property also includes a 421- space parking garage . Related: Oswald Centre, former Eaton Center hit the market RAIT's decision doesn't shut the door on a potential residential redevelopment of a third of the office space. But the listing throws the timeline for such a project into limbo - and signals that the Philadelphia- based company...

The plan is to have at least half of the apartment building completed by August 2018 and the entire project completed by January 2019. By Daniel Smithson Staff writer The outer shell of what will be student housing and a retail destination in midtown remains with few workers trying to complete it. Coral Gables- based Roger Development Group executives halted construction at the site of what will be Midtown Apartments, located at 104 NW 17th St ., because of plans to make interior changes. Oscar Roger Jr ., vice president of the development group , said in construction when interior design changes occur, plumbing does as well. So while design changes were being ironed out, construction was slowed to avoid the costs of having people work in the meantime and potentially having to reroute plumbing again if more changes were made. But with those details now set, construction will resume within the next few weeks, Roger said. The plan is to have at least half of the apartment bu...

LANSDALE >> Plans for a six- story apartment building on the corner of Third and Walnut streets have been revised again, and Lansdale officials look likely to be asked to approve several waivers for the project. Developer Ross Ziegler and architect Mike Rosen presented the latest version of those plans Monday night , describing changes including a new fence next to a dog park meant to buffer the building from its next door neighbors on Third Street. “In terms of both the fence and the dog park, we’d be open to discussions, certainly, to explore what would be more desirable, or how we can come up with solutions that might make more sense,” said Rosen. “We really want to encourage the concept of pet ownership, and taking care of their pets. And we clearly have been sensitive to the neighbor issue, and we will deal with it,” he said. The proposed Third and Walnut apartment building — termed “Walnut Crossing” on the plans — has been discussed since late 2015 by various borough b...

Uniondale- based RXR Realty will receive more than $1.2 million in tax breaks to build a downtown Glen Cove apartment and retail project , the Glen Cove Industrial Development Agency decided Tuesday night . The IDA unanimously approved $1.24 million in mortgage and sales tax exemptions for Village Square, which, in addition to 146 apartments and 15,000 square feet in retail space, will include a 16,000-square- foot plaza deeded to the city for public events. Most Popular The board also approved 18 years of payments in lieu of taxes, or PILOTs, that will start at $183,062 for the first three years and increase 2 percent annually for 15 years. The value of that property tax break is undetermined. All seven candidates in the Sept. 12 Democratic City Council primary and the Democratic mayoral candidate , Councilman Timothy Tenke , attended the meeting and said afterward they support redeveloping the 2.8-acre site, most of which is comprised of vacant buildings. But they oppose the t...
