Council in July gave third reading to a housing agreement between it and Viam Holdings (Amacon) that specifies that the new buildings that replace the Sunrise Apartments on 122nd Avenue, will be for rent, rather than condos. Sunrise Apartments was heavily damaged by a March 2015 fire, putting about 100 people out of their rental apartments. The housing agreement applies to all 288 apartments and remains on ...

Chinese buyers keeping apartments empty 'an urban myth'

After a UBS housing report pointed to as many as one in four homes owned offshore by mainland Chinese buyers being kept empty, and a further quarter used on a "temporary" basis, experts have been quick to say the results do not apply to Australian real estate . Among the naysayers is Jane Lu, head of Australia for Chinese international property site Juwai . She said there was "no hard data" and called the idea of vacant apartments held by offshore buyers as an "urban myth". "Most Chinese buyers of inner- city apartments are not so wealthy that they can afford to leave their property vacant ??? rather than renting it and earning some sort of income. There are some who do not live there full-time, because it is their second home. " Chinese investors are no more likely to turn down easy rent money than are Australians ... Australian second-home owners probably have more vacant properties in Ballina and Byron Bay than Chinese investors do...

Airbnb-ers are making big bucks off eclipse nerds

Image
Tickets for front row seats are available for Monday’s historical solar eclipse — they’re just on someone’s front lawn or a dirt patch in the middle of nowhere. Savvy property owners along the 70-mile “path of totality”—where the nation’s solar eclipse will provide a total black-out—are cashing in on the once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon and putting their backyards, front yards, farm land and empty apartments up for rent on AirBnb for the busy event. And they don’t come cheap. For $500 a night, astronomy nerds can camp out in a “fenced in” family backyard in Lincoln, Nebraska — tent not included. Apartment and home rentals in the area typically go for as low as $32 a night on a regular weekend. In another ad, a dusty dirt patch in Hopkinsville, Kentucky — a prime eclipse viewing area — is available for $400 a night. “ 1 acre flat level graveled lot . No trees to block view, large area to have camp fire. Could hold up to 20 tents for camping, or parking for 40 vehicles,” the ad reads....

Should SF tax empty homes and buildings?

Image
San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin has asked the city attorney to explore legislation to impose a vacancy tax on large property owners who leave residential and commercial buildings empty . During a supervisors meeting this month, Peskin said he continues to receive complaints about the impact of “ghost buildings” on neighborhoods. The problem is, nobody really knows how many vacant homes there are in the city and whether a vacancy tax would be legal or effective in freeing up much-needed housing. In an interview, Peskin cited a 28- unit apartment building at 1656 Powell St. that was vacated after a fire damaged some units in December 2013. It remains empty. The three-story building is in a prime North Beach location across from Washington Square Park . Four businesses on the building’s ground floor — a liquor store, a bar, a Thai restaurant and a seafood restaurant — are open, but the apartments above still have boarded-up windows and a littered lobby. Some work was done in the...

Accent on luxury at Royal Oaks apartments - WVU Football, WVU Basketball, News

Dave Coughenour describes himself as a “projects kind of guy.” His current project: Putting the finishing touches on a 106- unit apartment building , the latest addition to an upscale housing development perched on a hilltop overlooking U.S. Route 60 between Huntington and Barboursville. Beginning in 2008, in the midst of one of the nation's worst housing markets ever, Royal Oaks at Pea Ridge has taken shape in stages. First, Coughenour and his partners — Dave Tarter and Pat Hootch — built 16 apartment units. They followed that with 48 more units and then another 32. Now, a new three-story building will double the total available units to 202. Nearly all the apartments are leased, including those still being finished up, Coughenour said. And he and his partners are readying plans for more construction on the nearly 14-acre site. “This is an excellent market for apartments,” Coughenour said. Born in Tennessee, Coughenour and his family moved to Huntington when he was high-school a...

Woodside Village apartment project moving forward

The $ 79 million Woodside Village project , a redevelopment plan that will add hundreds of apartments and retail space to Westwood, is underway more than two years after receiving city approval for tax breaks. The project being built by Los Angeles-based Tanner & White is a big addition to Westwood, a small (pop. 1,500) inner-ring suburb in northeast Johnson County . Its City Council authorized up to $20 million in tax incentives to subsidize the project in late 2011. Developer Blair Tanner said it took a while to arrange the financing and coordinate the project with improvements made to the Woodside Health and Tennis Club, but work is beginning this week. The $26 million first phase calls for a four-story building with 91 luxury apartments on the upper floors and 20,000 square feet of retail space on the first level. It will be on the site of the former Youthfront building at 4715 Rainbow Blvd. Demolition of that structure is scheduled to begin in August. “We like the project ...
