Image
J&T Real Estate is asking for a statute of important investment for its package of projects to speed up the construction Font size: A - | A + 44 One of the most valued localities of Bratislava – the embankments of the Danube River – has found itself in the spotlight of developers. Following HB Reavis, J&T Real Estate has as well applied for a statute of an important investment for its package of development projects on both sides of the Danube. In this way it is seeking to simplify the approval process and speed up the construction of a €1.2 billion package of development projects. Within it the developer is promising to build among others another phase of Eurovea, New Lido, a pedestrian bridge via the Danube, and new tram tracks. “In the next five to ten years we would like to see a new modern centre here on both sides of the Danube, which will finally utilise the potential of the river and represent a natural continuation of the Old Town,” said Peter Korbačka from J&T Re...

Apartment vs Condo Explained

When looking for a new place to live, you might see both condos and apartments and wonder “What’s the difference between apartment and condo living?” You’re thinking about all the same things no matter which place you’re previewing: price, square footage, amenities, types of flooring, pet rules . . . as long as you have what you need, why does it matter what type of unit you rent?  Well, it does. Knowing the difference between a condo and an apartment is important: it affects how your community, and home operate from day-to-day. Ownership: Apartment vs Condo Apartments Apartment complexes usually have one owner. This means that all the leases and rules are uniform as well. This can be a good thing when it comes to neighborly disputes, since you all have to apply by the same rules. The property manager can act on, and fix the problem, they have the authority to do so. Condos Each condo typically has one owner. The complex does not own all the units. This can be really nice, because it c...

(Photo: Jimmy Settle/The Leaf-Chronicle) Buy Photo CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Local developers seeking rezoning for multi- family residential land uses near the Clarksville- Montgomery County Corporate Business Park say they're not looking for a fight with the local Industrial Development Board .

In fact we think we are proposing something to help them," said Dennis Ziolkowski of Cumberland Land Partners , who is seeking rezoning alongside local developers Rex Hawkins and Jimmy Settle (not to be confused with this writer). While IDB Executive Director Mike Evans says their request potentially encroaches on the industrial park , damaging bu...

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...

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 ...
