Construction Maison

NORFOLK Plans for the new five- story complex north of downtown, featuring shops and more than 200 apartments, were approved three years ago. Last year, the former headquarters of Hampton Roads Transit was demolished to make way. But the 2- acre lot remains nothing but a fenced-off patch of dirt. And a few weeks ago, for-sale signs went up near the fences where renderings used to hang. The developer behind the proposed $42 million complex at 1500 Monticello Ave., next door to Chick-fil-A, said the project isn’t dead – merely delayed by financing problems. “We think it’s still a great site and a great opportunity to do something there,” said Michael Haller, the executive vice president of Fairfax- based developer Concord Eastridge . “We love what’s going on with Norfolk. ... We’d love to be a part of it.” By the end of the year, he said, the company hopes to either partner with new investors or find a purchaser to step in and build the “shovel-ready” project. The pr...

NORFOLK The housing market may be struggling, but apartment construction in Norfolk continues to boom. The City Council is expected to approve a rezoning today that will allow a 180-unit, $20. 7 million upscale apartment development called the Meadowood Apartments to be constructed off North Military Highway . It would be the seventh apartment complex that opened, received city approval or on which construction began in the past year. Moreover, two other apartment complexes have been proposed. Meadowood would be built on 7.7 acres currently zoned for industrial use on International Boulevard adjacent to a Kmart and the Park Crescent Apartments . Rents would top out at $1,450, said Taylor Franklin, vice president of multi family development for S.L. Nusbaum Realty . It would be a gated community, Franklin said. Nusbaum has either proposed, built or is building four of the complexes in Norfolk. "The apartment market in Hampton Roads remains very strong," Franklin...

Cover of Remembering Diana published by National Geographic. (Photo: Mario Testino) Princess Diana is a larger-than-life figure in so many ways, and her biography contains moments large and small, public and private, royal and routine. This timeline follows Diana from childhood to storybook royal wedding to parenthood and then, unfortunately, to a death that came far too soon. 1961:   Diana Frances Spencer , born July 1, was the fourth of five children born to John Spencer, the 8th Earl Spencer and his first wife, Frances Ruth Roche. 1967:  The Spencers separate when Diana is six years old. The divorce would not be final until 1969, following a child custody battle won by her father. In later years, her younger brother, Charles, blames the split on the loss of their first son, John, who died within hours of his birth in 1960, and the difficulty of producing a male heir. 1969:  Diana's mother marries Peter Shand Kydd , an Australian wallpaper heir , and is accused by Shand Kydd...
