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 ...

Author John Freeman Gill takes Fodor’s on an urban safari. If you make the effort to gaze skyward in New York, you will discover (hiding in plain sight) a city teeming with remarkable architectural sculptures : gryphons and sea monsters, cherubs and pelicans, goddesses and kings. These exuberantly expressive artworks were the creation of gifted immigrant stone carvers who poured into New York in the late 19th and early 20th centuries , most of them from the British Isles, Germany, and Italy. The ornament on the grandest edifices was typically specified by architects, but on the vast majority of city buildings , the design of the carvings was left up to the individual stoneworker. The carvers took this freedom and ran with it, incising their imaginations into New York’s skyline and transforming its streetscape into a marvelously quirky public art gallery . 555 Washington Avenue John Freeman Gill Ever since my novel, The Gargoyle Hunters , was published, I’ve been besieged by readers a...

Washington Real Estate Investment Trust is developing The Trove, a 401- unit apartment community in the Columbia Pike corridor of Arlington, Va. Two years ago, Washington REIT acquired The Wellington, three buildings constructed in 1961 on a 14-acre site, with a total of 711 apartments. After the sale, Washington REIT began an extensive renovation program , which is still underway. “We call it The Trove because it will be a treasure trove of desirable features that will set it apart from other new apartments in the Columbia Pike neighborhood ,” Nicole Morrill, Washington REIT ’s senior director of development, told MHN . “ In addition to offering abundant and unique amenities , the Trove will also appeal to renters because it will provide a location that is both convenient and accessible yet also a bit quieter than that of competing apartments given its perch overlooking the Army Navy Country Club .” When completed in 2019, the property will include three new seven-story buildings...

Two townhouses in the Carnegie Hill area of Manhattan's Upper East Side are to be combined into a stunning megamansion, if plans approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday go ahead. Matthew Harris, a partner at the investment fund Global Infrastructure Partners , bought up 53 and 55 East 92nd Street , just a block and a half from Central Park, with the intention of creating a stunning six- story super mansion . The front of the buildings, which were build around the turn of the century, will remain much the same, but the rear will be replaced with a massive glass facade , while the back yard will be turned into a sunken garden - a far cry from the traffic of nearby Madison and Park Avenues. But it's the inside that will see the real changes, dnainfo reported.  55 East 92nd Street (pictured) are a pair of ordinary townhouses" class="blkBorder img-share" /> Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday go ahead, its rear (seen in mock-up...

More new development is slowly but surely taking shape in East New York, with residences like a Dattner- designed complex with 403 fully affordable apartments and a warehouse-replacing, 77-apartment building in the works. And now, a 21-building (!) affordable housing complex , spearheaded by the city and Monadnock Development, appears to be in the works. According to the Real Deal, the expansive project is looking to rise on the site located at 389-516 Schroeders Avenue, 1111-1123 Ashford Street, and 127-129 Gateway Drive. Many of the buildings will neighbor the modular single-family homes that were recently constructed as part of the Nehemiah Spring Creek project near The Gateway Center. The project would bring 240 affordable homes across 20 four-story buildings and one 11-story building. So far, the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development has filed plans for only 11 of those buildings but if things go as planned, the complex will consists of three studios, 98...

( Massachusetts State Police photo ) On July 31, Waltham city councilors voted unanimously to call on the state of Massachusetts to implement tighter restrictions on the size of wood- frame residential buildings after a massive ten- alarm fire destroyed a wooden apartment complex under construction in late July.The fire was the Boston-area's second major wood-frame fire in a month and the fourth since the start of June. The incidents come at a time of increasing concern over the use of combustible building materials in the low- to mid- rise residential building market , as a number of wood- frame apartment complexes have been the site of spectacular fires, most notably in Charlotte, N.C.; Warner Robins, Ga.; Midvale, Utah; Oakland, Calif.; Dorchester, M...

After five years and the demolition of a former car dealership site on Main Street, Royal Oak will see a Hyatt hotel, a mixed-use building and a parking deck by next year, a developer promised. “I think you’re going to see a lot of action at that site from here on out,” Greg Cooksey of Trailhead RO LLC told City Commissioners . He added the timeline for project completion is September 2018. Cooksey has worked in a development partnership on the project with Versa Development in Southfield.

Hurricane Harvey is gaining steam, and is set for landfall on the coast of Texas late tonight (Aug. 25). By then it is expected to have gained the power of a category 3 hurricane, which would destroy poorly constructed houses , severely damage apartment buildings and shopping centers, and leave large areas without water and electricity for days or even weeks. But its effect on the energy industry is what many will be watching. The federally- controlled offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico produce 17% of the US’s total crude oil output , while around half the US’s petroleum and natural gas refining capacity is situated along the gulf coast. Houston, some 30 miles (48 km) inland, is home to the country’s largest refinery and petrochemical complex . As ProPublica and the Texas Tribune reported last year, a direct hit from a big storm would cause enormous damage , not just economic but also environmental, since the complex stores huge quantities of dangerous chemicals. As well as ...

Work is progressing on some high profile housing developments in Terre Haute, but one project is on hold, another has been delayed and a third scaled back.. A shortage of skilled labor and rising lumber costs prompted Thompson Thrift to shelve a planned $28 million, 232- unit expansion of Sycamore Terrace apartments , off New Margaret Drive, according to Paul Thrift, company president. And, after an initial start date set for earlier this year, Carmel- based Mainstreet Student Living is now looking to begin construction in April on a $20 million, 162-unit complex near Union Hospital with completion in August 2019. Mainstreet’s project was pushed back “in an effort to ensure our partners could execute our plans and guarantee an on-time opening,” said Justin Farris, managing director. A third project involving market rate apartments on Sidenbender Road near 25th Street and Margaret Avenue has been reduced in scope with construction scheduled to begin next spring on...
