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...

After two-and-a-half years of construction, Gurner has officially unveiled the first two towers of its $ 600 million Brisbane development . The launch of FV comes a week after BIS Economics forecast high - rise apartment construction will halve over the next three years. In its residential property forecast 2017 -2020 report, BIS indicated that the resurgence in prices in the current financial year is likely to be short-lived as a looming oversupply of apartments in our major cities will dampen price growth . Gurner rebuffed claims that the local market was oversupplied, “With so much pressure on house prices in Australia, Brisbane provides an incredibly affordable option for first home buyers and owners. Brisbane is 50% more affordable than Melbourne and 60-70% [more affordable] than Sydney – it is now something people just cannot ignore.” Notwithstanding concerns of an oversupply or weakening markets, Gurner has sold all apartments of the FV development , “People have been saying...
