Three residential developments with a total of 207 units have been approved for Kitchener’s south end. Councillors approved the three infill projects at a meeting this week. Two of the sites are next to each other on the north side of New Dundee Road, between Robert Ferrie Drive and Pinnacle Drive, while the third sits on the portion of Pinnacle Drive on the other side of Homer Watson Boulevard, in the historic Lower Doon neighbourhood. One of the New Dundee Road proposals, in particular, continued to see opposition from some area residents and councillors over concerns including traffic and site access, height, density and grading. On the other hand, a completely revamped plan for the Pinnacle Drive project was praised as a welcome change from what had originally been proposed. The third project, attracting the least attention at council this week, will see a total of 26 single and semi-detached homes built at 448 New Dundee Rd. There, a private internal road will run from existing Ridgemount Street, with an access for emergency vehicles only from New Dundee Road. Next door, Klondike Homes will build 160 stacked townhomes in 10 blocks at 404-430 New Dundee Rd. #HomeEvaluation #PropertyValue #RealEstateAppraisal #HomeWorth #HouseValue #AppraisalExperts #MarketValue #EvaluateYourHome #HomePricing #PropertyAssessment #realtor #realestate #realestateagent #realtorlife #home #househunting #forsale #property #dreamhome #newhome #investment #homesweethome #realty #luxuryrealestate 

🏠 The Province of BC is paving the way for more family-friendly housing with new SES (single egress stair) building designs up to six storeys. This update to the BC Building Code allows for more multi-bedroom apartments, improved energy efficiency, and greater density in transit-oriented developments. By removing the outdated requirement for a second stairwell, this update creates opportunities for innovative building configurations on smaller lots. For the BC housing market, it means: - Potentially lower construction costs - Faster project completions - More diverse housing options for residents. - Increased development potential (especially in high-demand, transit-oriented areas) - Greater affordability for new builds. Major cities like Seattle and New York have already embraced SES designs, and now it's Victoria’s turn! Rest assured, these buildings will include vital safety measures like sprinklers and wider stairwells to ensure resident safety. Curious about how this might affect your property value?

What is a home? In the UK, the prevailing answer is that of the classic semi-detached with a garden and a parking spot. It's deeply culturally ingrained, in everything from film and television to advertising, the idea is sold with vigour. But is this traditionalist view holding us back from building more homes? Mansell Building Solutions has considerable skin in the game when it comes to building more homes, and we think a broadening of that traditional view could support building in greater volumes, utilising MMC and offsite construction to deliver mid-rise resi in urban centres. We could do this through... ✅ Giving greater credence to the concept of gentle density ✅ Learning from the continent's dynamic urban centres ✅ Utilising modern methods to expediate delivery Our own 🐝 Angela Mansell FCIOB will be talking all about this at Place North West's SME Homebuilder's conference next February. But in the mean time, you can read more of our thoughts on the matter on our blog... https://lnkd.in/eNbV69Mm Pictured below is King Street West, a new midrise apartment block in Stockport using our light gauge steel frame solutions.

Teardowns (the front-end of #newconstruction within established markets), whether residential or commercial, share the simple purpose of replacing older structures with new. The intention is for improvement and rejuvenation - good things. #realestate https://lnkd.in/gVDyrE64

Hey LinkedIn fam! Big news to share.

Latest property and construction news…..   Plans for a proposed tower block in Colmore Row are to be reviewed following environmental concerns from Historic England. It was proposed to increase the height of Colmore Gate from 17 to 26 storeys.   The average house price increased month-on-month in February by £3.091 according to Rightmove.   The Stirchley Co-operative Development has said that it intends to deliver 39 affordable flats and three business units with no landlords (it would be owned and run by its residents) in Hunts Road/Pershore Road, after the building firm it was using has come across difficult times.   Some UK housebuilders are to be investigated over whether they have shared information that could influence house prices. The Competitive Markets Authority has undertaken a year long investigation across the county and have also expressed some concerns about the quality of new homes.   #property #constuction #housing #business

Cities should eliminate minimum parking requirements, which often mandate more parking spaces than the market requires. Studies have shown that parking spaces in a garage can add $30,000 or more to the price of a unit. https://lnkd.in/eHDHr-KQ #planning #zoning #housing #parking
