Debating Fire Sprinkler Codes After New Jersey Blaze

In January 2015, a massive fire in Edgewater, N.J., demonstrated that buildings with sprinkler systems are not always protected against fire. The blaze destroyed 240 residential apartments and displaced 500 people from the Edgewater Avalon apartment building . The fire began when a maintenance worker’s plumbing torch accidentally ignited wooden wall studs , and flames quickly spread throughout the structure. Fifteen minutes passed before workers called the fire department . In that time, the fire spread throughout combustible void spaces (between walls and floors) and soon engulfed the building. Emergency personnel from 35 different cities and towns ultimately responded to the incident. Thankfully, there were no fatalities. Immediately after the blaze, people asked why the fire was so devastating. The building had sprinklers, after all. Shouldn’t the sprinkler system have extinguished the fire? To make matters worse , this building had already burned down 15 years prior during i...

Construction on 80-unit apartment complex in Saugerties could begin in spring

Image
Work on a new 80- unit apartment complex in Glasco, given final approval last month by the town planning board , could begin this spring, said Kingston- based developer Paul Page . “It may take a couple of years to complete, but we will be building straight through, not in phases,” he said. As the first buildings are completed, the apartments will be rented, Page said. The Glasco project will be similar to Page’s Orchard Hills Apartments in Kingston. The plan calls for eight two-story buildings, each containing eight to twelve apartments. Parking for 141 cars would be provided on-site. The planning board voted unanimously to approve the project at its December 19 meeting. Advertisement Given the history of the site — which includes a rent-subsidized project that was eventually withdrawn as a result of public protests and failure to secure state funding — Page emphasized that these apartments would not be subsidized. Rents would be at current market rates . On...

Two Massive 30-Story Apartment Houses To Dominate Country Club Area

Construction Of Towers Into Historic Six-Acre Site Seen By Activists As Giving Area And Denver Another Black Eye by Glen Richardson Country Club Gardens — the historic 1940s five-building three- story apartment complex located in a six- acre landscaped garden environment adjacent to the Downing Street Parkway — is about to get hit with a pair of huge apartment houses as densification of the Cherry Creek and Country Club areas continues on unabated. The Broe Group is demolishing two existing garden apartments and replacing them with two overwhelming 30-story towers near the intersection of Downing St. and Ellsworth Ave. The twin skyscrapers will be the tallest buildings outside of downtown Denver and will be equal in height to the One Tower Center on 17th Street, the 15th tallest building in Denver. By comparison, Plaza Tower One — one of the tallest towers in the Denver Tech Center — is only a 22- story building . The two towers will contain a total of 533 apart ment units ...

Homeowners oppose Toscana Isles workforce apartments planned...

The mood was tense, the hour was late and the conflict had a familiar ring to it. Ansca Homes is seeking permission to build 206 apartments on Hypoluxo Road, and the neighbors were not happy. “There are two sets of property rights here, the existing communities and the people who want to build,” Palm Beach County Commissioner Shelly Vana said. “I hope the answer is something everybody can live with.” Vana reminded the homeowners that workforce housing , which accounts for 142 of the 206 apartments, is a mandatory program heavily supported by the Palm Beach County Commission . It was declared to be at a crisis level in 2005. Vana added that it would behoove the developer to make any concessions it could, even though some had already been made. At the Wednesday night meeting west of Boynton Beach, a dozen homeowners representing six nearby communities called the planned apartment complex “an eyesore” and “a Pandora’s box.” Homeowners mainly objected to the rental units, which they...
