Architecture Today’s Post

The key to a #successful #build starts with the #land itself! This post dives into site considerations like maximizing space, ensuring privacy for all occupants, and prioritizing parking & amenities. Corner lots can be a game-changer, and every #property offers unique #opportunities. Remember, a little planning goes a long way! #realestate #coachhouse #gardensuites #gardensuitetips #planning #lots #property #durham #durhamregion #oshawa #realestateinvestor #realestateinvesting #investmentopportunity #thinkbeforesyoubuild #northlakesdevelopments

Density is a critical component of city building. Building up a city’s main avenues is an important part of the success. It’s good to see developments taking place along the avenues, in #Windsor, even if sporadically. 3-4 story, #mediumscalemediumdensity building can drive the demand for more, better, and varied types of transit, housing, and amenities along our main street commercial corridors. #urbandevelopment #avenues #density #urbanism #urbanhousing

Stephen Harper, handed over Downsview Park and adjoining lands to Canada Lands Company who disfigured the park along Keele street building ugly condominiums/commercial spaces, then, a huge acreage inside to more numerous bird-cage condominium buildings, also, they squared off a huge portion for temporary entertainment stages, preventing us Downsview Community and other Park Visitors accessing the mound and parking, when there is any event taking place. No consideration was taken that the big splash that Canada Lands Company makes about encouraging bio-diversity in the remaining parkland, with a mini-forest, growing wild grasses instead of flowers, is all a hoax when the corporation is only interested in slowly (bit by bit) sucking up all of these grounds to their only interest - daily revenue to their bottom, line. Don't know if Harper gets a portion of that profit. But it seems Canada Lands Company has enamoured Doug Ford, Olivia Chow and City Councillor Pasternak, who are all so happy to appear in photo ops of this corporation, when they announce more and more of the land being built for their own ends. The hoax is the temporary entertainment clearing allows for ear splitting reverberations throughout the parklands when any event is taking place (because so far all these events have used big band speaker music that a building nearby echos the sound, making us visitors feel there is an earthquake happening). Imagine if we humans cannot bear the sounds vibrating the ground, what do you think the small animals in the forest are feeling? They will soon disappear if these concerts will be an ongoing disturbance. What biodiversity is that? (The neighbouring apartment units on the surrounding streets also vibrate with these sounds and way beyond bedtimes.) Now why is the Premier, the Mayor and the City Councillor then, not thinking of these issues. Why are these officials so "unaware"? Unaware, or, just don't care? Take a look at this: if they build this up, they need space for ticket-holders, so will the mound (like they do now when there is an event) too become part of the entertainment centre and here we go again - yet another big portion of the park is sucked up for revenue by Canada Lands Company. When/where is it going to end? Canada Lands Company operates all these land grabbing through a sub company that was not even administered as a Crown Corporation by going through the normal channels of passing through Parliament. Even though all these shenanigans were done through Stephen Harper and the Conservatives, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals who could have reversed some of this, and/or forced Canada Lands Company, a Crown Corporation to honour the rules, did nothing. The question is why? https://lnkd.in/gmmuC99T Then here's more land being sucked up: https://lnkd.in/geePKHk8

I think Paul Read is right. It would be fantastic if people in the UK affordable housing sector shared something about schemes that have been career highlights and explained why. I tag Paul Read to go first, as it was his idea! He can tag others to contribute next! It will be interesting to see if there are common denominator or surprising factors that could benefit affordable housing going forwards. #AffordableHousingStory

Among a welter of great insights at this week's Mersey Power Towns event hosted in #IrvineBuilding by Frank Mckenna was this cracker from Chris Lee: "We need to be super-ambitious for Wirral and Birkenhead. The first thing I'd do is rebuild the tower at New Brighton." Now, for those who don't know, it was Wirral's tilt at its own Eiffel Tower, with a ballroom at the foot upon whose stage once strutted four chirpy lads from across the river. They went on to greater things. Chris's point, however, wasn't about recreating past glories, but more about the signal that ambition sends to the market, and how the market invariably responds positively. Funders, developers, end-users and residents buy in to ambition when it's delivered at scale and with the requisite quality. It's why Wirral Council is driving forward a number of significant masterplans and why they signalled their intent with two Grade A office buildings, Mallory + Irvine. Does it work? Well, let's look at another slightly rainy shipbuilding town with a population of 350,000. Most people felt its hey-day was long gone and that a re-scaling of its ambitions and population was in order. The good burghers of Bilbao begged to differ, got the Guggenheim museum built, whilst simultaneously delivering a stunning, Norman Foster-designed underground network. The market responded with gusto. Where once there wasn't a tourist to be had, the place is now bunged with the curious - typically well-heeled explorers keen for an intriguing fix of urbanism. Hotels have sprung up with glorious regularity and the city's unemployment - once a blight on whole communities - has fallen dramatically. And it still rains - a good deal more than Birkenhead, in fact (1,134mm pa compared with 824mm, for the hydrologically-minded). #Birkenhead is in the early stages of its own transformation, but it would take a brave man to bet against it, given what's coming down the tracks (after all, we already have a rather spiffy underground network, with six stations in the town centre). Maybe time for you to take a fresh look. Marcus Shaw MRICS David Wade-Smith Stephen Parry Ben Lavell Chris McKenna Pic caption: Ships Nostalgia

Ready to elevate your lifestyle? If you’ve been considering making a move to Devonbosch, now’s the time - only 5 units are left in Phase 1, and they’re still available at 2023 prices. And let’s face it - it is rare to find a development that offers both a beautiful living environment and the potential for real growth. I’ve seen how quickly things are moving here, and securing one of these last units is a chance to be part of something truly special. Whether you’re looking at a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment, this is an opportunity to invest in a community that’s designed with the future in mind, both in terms of lifestyle and value. Take a moment to explore the available layouts - starting from R3,450,600. If you’ve been on the fence, I’d recommend acting soon. Reach out if you’re interested. I’d love to see you make Devonbosch your home. #DevonboschLiving #FutureHome #PropertyOpportunity #CommunityLiving

𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟑: 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 Another phase of town centre rebuilding starts this month as part of our work to rebuild the whole town centre. Not only are we 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 on our promises, but we’re radically transforming the way our town centre works - future proofing it and enabling incredibly high-quality public realm to compliment radical redevelopment. Public realm is far too often left behind, value engineered out and not maintained yet it makes all the difference.
