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...

Developers plan to build a community of new homes in the midst of an established neighborhood at the edge of downtown. The new houses will replace a cluster of small rental homes known as Tiny Town near the Oakwood and Mordecai neighborhoods . The rental community , called the Brookview Apartments, is under contract by residential developer Community Properties in a joint venture with builder Robuck Homes . The property was originally listed for $5.3 million. A final purchase price has not been disclosed. Jack Morisey, president of Community Properties , said the area is ripe for development, especially with the revitalization of North Person Street , which includes new restaurants, shops and bars. “We want to do something that’s really attractive, that really fits in. We certainly understand that the Mordecai and Oakwood neighborhoods are treasures,” he said. The move toward infill development is one example of the new ways developers are looking to build in Raleigh’s dense down...

Last year, the Miami- Dade County Commission shot down a plan that would have forced local developers to include some affordable apartments in every new project. Commissioner Javier Souto claimed the idea was "social engineering," one of the most profoundly stupid things said in South Florida politics this decade. According to the study, almost two-thirds of Miami's poor are stuck spending more than half of their income on rent or living in roach-infested hellholes. "These households are defined as very low-income renters who do not receive government housing assistance and who paid more than one-half of their income for rent, lived in severely inadequate conditions , or both," HUD's researchers write. "High rents in proportion to renter incomes remain dominant among households with worst-case needs, leaving these renters with substantial, unmet need for affordable housing." Larger cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, techn...

Sponsored Content rise residential developments in recent years." /> Brisbane has seen a proliferation of high- rise residential developments in recent years. At one time Brisbane wore a reputation as the last, true east coast bastion of the quarter-acre block – a time, not so long ago, when many developers focused on delivering the Australian dream as a three- or four-bedroom home with a landscaped garden front and back.  How those times have changed.   Interstate migration, the need to mitigate the transport and infrastructure pressures of vast urban sprawl , and a more visionary approach to inner-city planning have all triggered the growth of Brisbane upward rather than outward. Investment in cultural precincts like South Bank have increased the appeal of inner-city living.

ANDERSON – The developers of the Delaware Court Apartments in downtown Anderson are on track to open the facility, built in 1926, by the end of the year. The developers told the Anderson Historical & Cultural Preservation Commission on Monday that there will be a request later to install central heating and air conditioning in the building. Developer Cory Mendez said installing a centralized air conditioning system will eliminate the need for window air conditioners . He said the commission will also be asked to approve the placement of the condensers, which will include wrought iron fencing . Mendez said the developers are awaiting the final plans for the replacement of the electrical and plumbing systems. The original plans for the staircase railings and posts at the main entrance have been provided to a local millwright to make them appear as originally designed. Developer Phil Rush said the building sat vacant for seven years but was in good shape because of its origina...

The city of Tampa is on the cusp of a total makeover. With billions of dollars in investment and dozens of new apartment, condo, office and cultural buildings in the pipeline, the city's skyline and surrounding communities are poised to look a whole lot different than what it does today. But dreaming up the future of Tampa doesn't come without its challenges. For all the promises of a new urban core filled with hotels, parks, food halls and stores, there are also potential pitfalls. The Tampa Bay Times identified the five key obstacles that stand in the way of some of the biggest projects proposed in Hillsborough County . Many of these challenges are ones local politicians and business leaders have been fighting for years to find a solution. Others are fairly new territory, but still pose a real threat to the region's continued growth.

According to Marcus & Millichap, 600 apartments were delivered last year, vacancies dropped to 4.5 percent—the lowest year-end level in years—and average rents were fast approaching $800 per month. And the commercial real estate brokerage firm expects Cincinnati ’s apartment market to perform the same this year. Forbes recently reported that Cincinnati is the third most affordable city in the United States. Although the median price for a new home in the area was set at around $133,000, the rental market was still the top performer last year. And apartment rents are expected to continue to increase in 2014, for the fifth consecutive year. All of this is thanks to the growing population of young professionals. Cincinnati’s 20- to 34-year-old population, with its live-work-play lifes...
