Wood the strength of concrete, assembled like Legos. —>> https://lnkd.in/enxpFCRu The New York City Economic Development Corporation is seeking #housing proposals from developers for the Stapleton Waterfront that bring mass timber residential #innovation to NYC at scale. The 500-unit site is adjacent to the $400M waterfront esplanade under construction by the EDC along Staten Island’s North Shore. RFP Responses due June 20th —>> https://lnkd.in/em8hWscw Why Mass Timber? I toured my first #masstimber multi-family #building in Melbourne, Australia in 2015, and was immediately captivated by this sustainable new material and kit-of-parts building method. Mass timber construction uses #prefabricated super strength wood components for the load-bearing building elements such as walls, roofs, floors, beams and columns. NYC recently updated its building code to allow mass timber for residential structures up to 85 feet tall, greatly expanding the potential use case and market potential for this new #lowcarbon material. #jobs #greeneconomy #sustainability #crosslaminatedtimber

A quick and easy way to know approximately what you can build on a development site 1. Look at what the zoning of the property is (https://meconemosaic.au is great for this) 2. Go onto the LEP for the particular council and look at the Zoning and what is permissible to be built. This can change from council to council 3. Multiply FSR by land size to give gross floor area (GFA) 4. Take 10% - 15% off GFA to give NFA. This provides an allowance for hallways, lifts and other common areas. Some townhouse and other developments you may not need to do this. More so for apartment buildings 5. Divide the average unit/townhouse size by the NFA to give number of dwellings Eg R4 zoned site 1000m2 lane size 1.5:1 FSR Gross floor area = 1500m2 NFA = 1350m2 (10% towards common areas) Avg unit size: 75m2 internally 1350 divided by 75 = 18 Therefore 18 units are permissible on the site There are many other controls that need to be taken into account such as height, set backs, landscaped area, etc This is just a quick way to estimate what you may be able to build before getting into more detail Kellie Adamson

Gove calls for ‘veil of secrecy’ to be lifted for land held in trusts Housing secretary Michael Gove has called for the “veil of secrecy” around land held in trusts to be lifted as part of a consultation into the transparency of landownership. On launching the consultation, Mr Gove said he believes that that “for too long we’ve turned a blind eye” to who really controls land in the UK. He said: “I have seen the social injustices that arise when the true owners of land and property cannot be identified, whether that is anonymous landlords whom tenants cannot contact in an emergency, [or] shady freeholders refusing to fix dangerous buildings and extorting unreasonable service charges from leaseholders.” Check out the full story 👉 https://zurl.co/DDjF (Inside Housing) #housebuilding #construction #architecture #housebuild #house #hausbau #realestate #home #newbuild #fire #design #homebuilding #dreamhome #bauherren #newhouse #sims #interiordesign #selfbuild #builder #building #interior #renovation #reviews #homebuild #homesweethome #instahome #homes #engineering #buildingdesign #buildingservices

I had a great start to the week!! 🌟 I worked closely with one of my builders to assist a client with their development site. Our combined efforts led to exciting progress! 🌟 The Journey: ✨ Zoom Calls: We started with a couple of Zoom calls. Listening to the clients' vision and understanding their needs. ✨ Site Assessment: We looked at the site, and considered factors like retaining, sales potential, and design feasibility. ✨ Tailored Solutions: We explored design options that aligned with the clients' goals and budget. 🌟 Results:  Our collaborative approach paid off: ⭐ The clients are moving forward with a design schedule for 2 townhouses. Pre-planning/building discussions are underway. 🌟 If you or your clients have a property in Newcastle that could benefit from my expertise—whether it’s a knockdown rebuild for a duplex, or townhouses—reach out! I am here to provide advice and to make building easy... 🌟 YOUR NEW BUILD WING WOMAN #building #investmentproperty #houseandland

Why I voted "No" on the proposed Hull Street project. First, it is important to note that the only part of this project that requires a Special Use Permit (SUP) is the side setback. Demolition, height, use, etc. are all by right. Second, I am not anti density, anti housing, or anti affordable housing. I am pro all of those things - where they make sense. I am anti "concentration of poverty" and would LOVE to see inclusionary zoning incented. What I object to is the slow (and sometimes not so slow) erosion of the historic fabric and historic character of the neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and cultural landscapes that make up our city. It's not about one single building or a single district but the thousand paper cuts of the one building at a time demolition that ultimately leads to the loss of local identity, character, and flavor. I would love to discuss a moratorium on demolition of structures over 50 years old until the City's Cultural Resources Stewardship Plan is completed, before our character has been irrevocably changed. Thank you for your time, attention, and curiosity!

Do you have your eye on an older building you would like to renovate and lease to a tenant, or use yourself? These are some great tips from finding the property to turning the key over to the tenant. It is not an easy job but with some good planning it can be quite rewarding #crebuildings #renovations #construction
