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 Advertisement Given the history of the site — which includes a rent-subsidized project that was eventually withdrawn as a result of public protests and failure to secure state funding — Page emphasized that these apartments would not be subsidized.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...

Aug 22, 2017 Most of the stars on HGTV — a network so popular it beat CNN's ratings during an election year — lean toward a look that, well, blends in. Crown jewel Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper is often seen in denim, plaid and baseball caps to match the Waco, Texas, scenery. Love It or List It 's Hilary Farr is almost always wearing jeans and a plain, bright sweater or blouse. Karen Laine and daughter Mina Starsiak of HGTV's new show Good Bones also favor simple plaids and neutrals. Christina El Moussa from Flip or Flop , HGTV's second most popular show after Fixer Upper , will sometimes wear a conservative blouse or drapey sweater on-camera, but she'll also pair them with ripped jeans or visit demolition day in form- fitting yoga pants . She's hardly ever without a blowout and brown smokey eyeshadow . She stands out and gets noticed — but with that must come a thick skin.

By Diana Hubbell Travellers have long looked towards Asia – with its shimmering azure waters and near-limitless selection of palm-fringed white-sand beaches – in their search for paradise. Intrepid hippies put the area on the map as a tourist destination in the 1960s. The intervening years, meanwhile, have seen rustic bamboo beach shacks edged out by a growing phalanx of upscale hotels and resorts. Indeed, these days it is just as likely to be high- powered investors making for the region’s resort destinations as singlet-wearing backpackers and other holidaymakers.   Countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia and the Philippines, can ably cater to the most demanding of buyers, with sumptuous properties ranging from secluded island hideaways to palatial residences with easy access to first-class restaurants and highly developed transport infrastructure .

A block north of the Western Brown Line stop , you'll find a family-friendly collision of worlds. Time and continents get confused at the crossroads where Lincoln Avenue runs into the intersection of Lawrence and Western avenues . Staring down the street bearing his name, a statue of Abraham Lincoln — perched on a podium and holding his stovepipe hat — watches over the juncture. Honest Abe seems a fitting guardian of the spot that is at once multicultural and wholly American. Once you pass under the arching entryway onto Lincoln Square , restaurants with Argentine, Greek, German, Mexican, Dutch and New Orleans fare are all within a stone's throw. Some take you back in time and some feel like home. Locals say the corridor is family-forward with a European touch. It's not hard to see. On a recent Friday evening , families congregated in the plaza. Children straight off Gap runways devoured frozen yogurt and painted patios in chalk while fluffy dogs sniffed out pigeons. Old...

While the likes of Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebel Wilson and Meg Ryan are moving into 443 Greenwich Street — Manhattan’s most celebrity-filled condominium — fashion mogul Serge Azria is moving out. The creative force behind Joie, Equipment and Current/Elliott paid $14.3 million for it in February, but is flipping the three bedroom, 3,471-square- foot duplex apartment for $17.3 million. The posh penthouse comes with its own private elevator entrance to both floors and a rooftop terrace complete with an outdoor kitchen. It appears to have been an investment property as he never actually lived in it, according to the listing. While this is the first penthouse resale, Azria is not the first celebrity to flip a condo at the building. “Austin Powers” star Mike Myers sold his four-bedroom pad without ever living there after it became too small for him when he had another child. 443 Greenwich Street ’s amenities include a 71- foot indoor swimming pool , children’s playroom, a...

Cain Fatica, Fairway Park Luxury Apartments , Copley | Amanda Gardner, Fairway Park Luxury Apartments How many tenants spend some of their free time in their apartment building’s leasing office just because it is such a great place?  Residents of the Fairway Park Luxury Apartments in Copley consider their leasing office to be part coffee shop and part lodge. The Starbucks coffee is always hot, and a fireplace keeps things cozy in cold or damp weather.  “I’ll just sit there sometimes and read the paper or one of the magazines they have, like Bon Appetit. Sometimes the office staff puts out recipes that we can try,” said tenant Cain Fatica . “I enjoy cooking. My brother is a chef, but I don’t get to cook as much as I’d like to. But it’s fun to taste new recipes. In the office, it’s like your family trading recipes .” Fatica, a graduate of the University of Akron with a major in biology, has lived in the complex a total of two years. He moved once, but came back because “compared to al...

Construction is to start next week on a $ 24 million apartment complex near Southridge High School in Kennewick. The 232- unit Copper Ridge Apartments will be on the southwest corner of Southridge Boulevard and Hildebrand Road. Darin Davidson, managing partner of the Inland Group of Spokane, said the company hopes to offer quality, affordable housing for the general work force . The area's low vacancy rate has pushed rents higher , Davidson said. "A lot of people have been priced out of quality, clean housing because of supply and demand," he said. The Tri-Cities' apartment market has been operating at an almost unprecedented vacancy rate of 1 percent to 2 percent for a couple of years, according to real estate experts . In September, 97 percent of Kennewick and Pasco apartments were occupied, while in Richland, there was 95 percent occupancy, according to the most recent survey by Kennewick's Crown Property Management . Davidson said the company saw a nee...

Just a little over a week after leasing got underway at Hudson Yards’ über- pricey rental building , One Hudson Yards, 20 percent of the apartments here have already been leased. As the building prepares to welcome its first residents at the end of this month, Curbed had a chance to tour a couple of model apartments at the 33- story rental located at 530 West 30th Street , between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues. The tour kicked off in the lobby and was led by the interior designer on the project, Andre Kikoski; the lobby is very emblematic of all the sculptural elements present throughout the building (and the model units), and some of the pieces that really stand out here are the bespoke chandelier, which is comprised of 400 hand blown glass pieces ; and a 25-foot-long wall of cast bronze panels , which Kikoski described is created when “Molten bronze is poured over natural linen fabric ; as the loosely gathered linen vaporizes , the process imparts the toothy texture of the fabric in a...
