11 derelict or empty sites in the North East - and what is happening to them

Image
Some of these sites have been lying empty for years or have become eyesores. It’s never good to see a building or piece of land being unused, especially well-known landmarks and once-loved attractions. But these places may not stay like that for long as plans have been made to redevelop them. Here we have put together a list of some of Tyneside’s derelict sites or vacant buildings and see what’s being done to bring them back to life. 1. Tynemouth Outdoor Pool, North Tyneside Tynemouth outdoor pool on Longsands beach" src="src" /> As it looks today: Tynemouth outdoor pool on Longsands beach The lido, at the southern end of Longsands beach in Tynemouth, was once a major attraction. It originally opened in 1925 and became a popular destination for locals and visitors. However, the pool’s popularity began to drop in the 1970s when cheap package holidays and indoor pools both started to become available.

University Place apartments on the rise, office building next | Orem News

OREM -- If you think you've been hearing about the University Mall development becoming a major development called University Place for a long time, you're right. As early as April 2013, members of the Orem City Council and department heads were informed of preliminary discussions on the development and were asked to sign non-disclosure statements. All the council members except Brent Sumner signed the agreements. It wasn't until the cat was let out of the bag at the Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Summit in September 2013 that people finally got an idea of what was in the works. At that summit, Coldwell Banker executive agent Brandon Fugal announced University Mall would undergo a huge transformation, introducing its own business park and housing developments along with additional retail expansion . "It will be Utah County's equivalent of City Creek," said Fugal at the time, comparing the Orem project to the redeveloped mall in downtown Sal...

Steve Brown Apartments - Madison, Wisconsin

Image
Let me tell you something as a current resident in Lucky. I have dealt with many property management companies , Forward Management by far being the worst in the city, and I do not see any of these bad things happening here. The staff, and I mean all of them, are accessible, helpful, and friendly. Three years ago I was living in the Woodman's parking lot and I built my businesses up to the point that I can now afford a penthouse at Lucky. I can also afford several lawyers and do have them. If Lucky stepped one foot out of line you bet they would be in court by me or anyone else up here most likely. When you pay that much for an apartment you have the right to expect world class service (and believe me although the Lucky Apartments may be more expensive than other properties in town, they are definitely worth the added expense and a steal for the quality and attention to detail). Everything from the floors to the appliances are top of the line. But it goes beyond physical qualit...

The Colonnade's City Within A City

September 11, 2010 at 12:00 pm news By Kevin Plummer Every Saturday at noon, Historicist looks back at the events, places, and characters—good and bad—that have shaped Toronto into the city we know today. One Sunday evening in 1959, after a screening of the Toronto Film Society , architect Gerald Robinson and engineer/builder Irwin Burns chatted over coffee. The two shared a common viewpoint that the city’s urban core was in decline. The same was happening in cities across Canada as municipal governments were more interested in improving traffic and encouraging sprawl rather than revitalizing their downtown districts. The very next day, Burns heard from real estate developer Murray Webber that a lot with Bloor Street West frontage was going to become available for a hundred-year lease from Victoria University. “There,” Burns told Robinson , as he recalled in the Globe and Mail of October 18, 1963, “is the place to demonstra...

Carl Icahn’s Failed Raid on Washington

One day in August, 2016, the financier Carl Icahn made an urgent phone call to the Environmental Protection Agency . Icahn is one of the richest men on Wall Street, and he has thrived, in no small measure, because of a capacity to intimidate. A Texas- based oil refiner in which he had a major stake was losing money because of an obscure environmental rule that Icahn regarded as unduly onerous. Icahn is a voluble critic of any government regulation that constrains his companies. So he wanted to speak with the person in charge of enforcing the policy: a senior official at the E.P.A. named Janet McCabe . Icahn works from a suite of offices, atop the General Motors Building , in midtown, that are decorated in the oak-and-leather fashion of a tycoon’s lair in a nineteen-eighties film. During that decade, Icahn made his reputation as one of the original corporate raiders , pioneering the art of the hostile takeover and establishing himself as a human juggernaut—a pugnacious deal machine ...
