Real Estate Investor’s Post

Here's how I advised one of my potential clients recently: Sir, you can't be looking to enjoy safe, quiet and peaceful living in a city and grab "anything residential plot" from a developer. Yes, before you buy that land, ask for and be certain that the approved estate layout really, really answer tough questions: 📍Is this a space where modern living will truly meet urban convenience? 📍 Is its approved density development going to allow me and other residents enjoy safety and privacy of a home? 📍 Will the spaces between properties herein reduce noise from my neighbours? 📍Will this space give me closer proximity to modern amenities such as shops, public transportation, schools, etc? Again 🖋️: Brook View Cottage, Asaba is a 'buy & build development' and still available at N2.5m. Check out the design for its exact location, landmarks and promised amenities.

Brisbane’s New $1.5B Riverfront Precinct Unveiled: A Glimpse into Teneriffe Banks! Following on from a couple of previous posts about the project's progression, 'Teneriffe Banks' a $1.5 billion mixed-use precinct along the Brisbane River, is taking shape as glimpses of the project are released by the Developer Kokoda Property Group. This ambitious project will feature five distinct buildings, including luxury apartments, penthouses, and Brisbane's first Kimpton Hotel. The design is a collaboration between Cottee Parker Architects, Carr, and Urbis. Located in Teneriffe, this development offers over 200 dwellings ranging from modern penthouses to grand lofts inspired by the area's iconic woolstores. Key highlights include The Interloom, a flagship building connecting the urban landscape with the waterfront, and The Ferry Building, featuring homes with expansive 3.6m ceilings. Residents and visitors can look forward to resort-style amenities, including rooftop pools, coworking spaces, and a 200-plus-seat signature restaurant. The development is poised to become a global destination, with lush gardens and open spaces designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Kokoda Property Group’s Mark Stevens describes Teneriffe Banks as their crowning achievement, one that will leave a lasting legacy for Brisbane. With a carefully refined masterplan, this precinct is set to become a vibrant hub for living, working, and leisure. #BuildingTalks #UrbanDevelopment #BrisbaneProjects

What can we learn from the past when designing buildings for our present needs? My personal experience sheds some light on this. Living in Sydney's now-admired "Art Deco" mid-rise apartments in Rose Bay during my management training at David Jones in the late '60s, I realised that these apartments were designed without considering Sydney's climatic conditions, which made them stuffy and lacking airflow. Unfortunately, this design issue was also present in Sydney's beloved "Terrace Housing" types, leading to poor living environments due to no or limited cross-flow ventilation. Bringing my experience living in Sydney Art Deco apartments back to Adelaide in the early '70s, I developed a new era of medium and mid-rise density housing that was considered historic overlay lacking in most of Sydney's medium-density housing projects. These buildings were designed with "Cross Flow" ventilation and spacious rooms, lacking in the Sydney Art Deco and Terrace housing. It's interesting to note that even design features of Sydney's Art Deco apartments, such as garage doors to the street frontages, lack architectural merit. This experience highlights the importance of considering the local climate and environment when designing buildings. By learning from the past and creating better living environments for our present and future needs, we can ensure that our cities continue to thrive. #sydney #artdeco #midrise #mediumdensity

https://lnkd.in/gjpv8_-E ROMA in L.A.??? The future of cities is upon us, and with it comes the pressing challenge of providing adequate housing for all. Dedicated to the mission of "providing a home for every family on the planet," MID-RISE Modular is poised to improve urban living and tackle the woes of inadequate housing supply head-on. Drawing inspiration from history, particularly the innovative approaches of ancient Rome, we glean valuable insights to shape our cities of tomorrow.   In ancient Rome, the concept of urban housing was not just about shelter, but also a reflection of societal values and practicality. The Romans devised ingenious solutions such as “insulae”, multi-story apartment buildings that housed a large portion of the urban population. These structures, although straddled with the headaches of lesser quality construction, were created with efficiency and density in mind, but most importantly, they offer a blueprint for modern urban planners grappling with space constraints and soaring demand for housing.   Facing similar challenges, L.A. can learn from Rome's example by embracing modular construction. Leveraging volumetric modular solutions, cities can rapidly erect affordable, high-quality constructed housing units to meet the needs of growing populations, while avoiding historical pitfalls of the sometimes poorly constructed Roman “insulae”... but it doesn't stop there!!! Incorporating elements of community design and green spaces with a human centric focus should be a goal for collaborating Urban Planners, Modular Architects and Real Estate Developers. Combining inspiration from the past with cutting-edge modular technologies, we can build cities that are not just habitats but vibrant, thriving communities. A sense of belonging and sustainability in our built urban environment is attainable - if you don't believe this, meet us in Roma...Ciao!

A small residential infill project exemplifies a model typology for redeveloping larger urban blocks. The perimeter block layout offers a continuous active edge, creating an inviting internal courtyard and supporting small retail spaces along edges or corners. This compact yet impactful project enhances placemaking, considers human scale, and establishes a distinctive identity, demonstrating significant urban development potential. #urbandesign #housing #perimeterblock

Well this is rad: The iconic, 1906 French Renaissance Revival gem at 115 Pine Ave. is set to be converted to 70 housing units, 11 of those being low-income units. Additionally, a 3,618 square-foot roof top deck and enclosed common open space is being proposed. Post-pandemic, offices are showing higher & higher signs of vacancy. On the flip side, housing costs are continuing to skyrocket. In this sense, it makes perfect sense to begin converting these buildings into spaces that are used & loved.

Resource Consent is on it’s way for this 120-home development in Drury, one of the fastest growing communities in the Auckland region. A true race against the clock, TEAM Auckland - alongside a group of talented consultants - met our client’s incredibly short Resource Consent lodgement deadline (approximately 8 weeks) to avoid large Development Contribution increases that would threaten the viability of the project. Unlocking the potential of the site required strategic thinking, with development proposals for all adjoining properties being prepared simultaneously by others. With no guarantees as to the final form or timing of delivery of each connected development, our proposal needed to work as a well-connected part of the overall future urban fabric, but also be capable of functioning independently if necessary. The project includes Standalone, Duplex and Terrace homes ranging from 3-4 bedrooms with a wide variety of configurations and price points. A handful of studio minor dwellings provide for potential work-from-home, rental, or larger family arrangements. Building forms, colour and materiality have been influenced by past and present residential and industrial activity. Varying roof forms of the standalone homes seek to provide a more organic streetscape, and were inspired by previous development in the Drury area which can best be described as ‘consistently inconsistent’. Brick has been incorporated across the development as a nod to the former Drury brick and pottery industry which produced red and dark grey bricks; and dark through to mid grey paint tones reflect Drury’s past coal mining industry and present greywacke quarry. #TEAMArchitects #TEAMAuckland #Auckland #TEAM #architecturenz #apartmentliving #apartmentdesign #property #home #homes #dreamhome #housing #homebuying #migration #architecturalrender #house #apartment #buyingahome #newzealandarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #architect #rendering
