Revitalizing Baltimore's West Side: The Crook Horner Lofts Story 🌆 Exciting news for Baltimore's west side. The Crook Horner Lofts, a redevelopment project at 303 N. Howard Street, is set to bring new life to this historic area. This revitalization effort is not just about adding new structures; it's about preserving and honoring the past while embracing the future. 🏗️ The lofts, which will officially open on November 29, are a symbol of the city's commitment to rejuvenating its west side. These aren't just any apartments; they are a transformation of a once-vacant industrial building, blending history with modern living. 🏡 Imagine living in a space with 14-foot ceilings and dramatically arched windows, reminiscent of Baltimore's historic charm. The Crook Horner Lofts, named after the old plumbing supply company that once occupied the building, offer 15 units of sprawling loft work apartments, providing a unique blend of work and living spaces. 🌍 This project adds to the vibrancy of North Howard Street, introducing live/work loft apartments that not only provide new housing options but also contribute to the cultural and economic growth of the area. 🌟 As we witness the transformation of these long-vacant historic properties, it's clear that Baltimore is on a path to revitalizing not just buildings, but communities. The Crook Horner Lofts are more than just apartments; they are a testament to Baltimore's resilience and vision for the future. #BaltimoreRevival #CrookHornerLofts #UrbanTransformation #HistoricPreservation

In their quest to build more housing and bring down costs, YIMBYs have identified one overlooked hang-up: stairs. Yes, the humble stairwell is an unlikely but powerful foe. More specifically, they're taking aim at a widespread rule that requires almost every new apartment building in the US to include at least two separate stairwells. This part of local codes, they say, is an outdated safety measure that really just makes apartment units smaller, more expensive, and darker (yes, darker). Only a few US cities, most notably Seattle and New York City, allow single-stair buildings to stretch up to six stories — pretty much everywhere else in America caps it at three. But the single-stair movement is gathering steam, and it could change how entire cities look and feel. Every new apartment building needs stairs, sure. But maybe we could do with a lot fewer of them. Here's my story for Business Insider: https://lnkd.in/dkjsjvig #pointaccessblock #singlestair #realestate #housing

Two more examples of gentle density from Hamilton's lower city and one example of a commercial to residential loft conversion from the heart of downtown. The first two are buildings that have been sharing their streets with single-family homes for more than a Century. These buildings are part of the character of these neighbourhoods while also happening to provide much-needed housing. While the third is a The Hamilton Spectator warehouse building in the middle of Hamilton's downtown that was converted into residential lofts, with an addition to provide extra units with rooftop balconies. All beautiful examples of the diversity of Hamilton's housing stock and how old buildings like these can still be really desirable places to live. #Housing #Density #GentleDensity #RentalHousing #Condos #Lofts #LoftConversions #Home #History #HamOnt #RandomMusings

Some old, commercial spaces are getting a facelift, as developers #repurpose run-down offices and hotels into renewed, residential units. Adaptive reuse is the process of reusing existing buildings, often renovating or redeveloping them, to be used for something other than they were originally intended for. In this case, commercial spaces are being turned into homes. This adaptive reuse trend has been picking up steam across the U.S. in the last year, and new data from #RentCafé shows Osceola County is leading the way. The apartment listing service reported that the county is projected to add nearly 1,900 units to a scant affordable housing market over the next few years. According to RentCafé, Kissimmee and Orlando are key figures in Florida's adaptive reuse landscape, representing 41% of the state's total projected future projects of 6,847 apartments.

Brooklyn Scores With the First All-Electric Building in New York City❕ In an ever-changing Downtown Brooklyn, high-rise apartment buildings nearing completion are a familiar sight. But there’s something a bit different about the one at 505 State Street. This 44-story, 440-unit rental building is to be the first all-electric residential tower in New York City. Functions that would typically use gas will instead be electric — meaning no gas stoves. The heating and hot water will be electric, too. Studios at 505 State Street start at nearly $3,500 a month, two-bedrooms at nearly $8,000 and three-bedrooms at $11,200. But the building has a full menu of amenities: a rooftop pool and terrace that gives residents views of the Manhattan skyline, a 3,000-square-foot gym and garden. Would you like to live in one of the apartments of such a house? source: The New York Times #nyclisting #nychomes #nycliving #nycrealestate #realestateagentyc #theagencynyc #theagencynyc #brewerteam #theagencynewyork #nycagent #downtownbrooklyn #brooklynliving #brooklynhomes

Why Cherry Creek West developers aim to create a ‘15-minute city’ The development will also have about 12% affordable housing targeted at those making 60% of the area’s median income. The company spearheading a redevelopment project exceeding $1 billion in Denver's Cherry Creek commercial district has unveiled updated renderings and new details, highlighting the planned walkability and outdoor spaces of the area. East West Partners is navigating Denver's planning and permitting process to transform a nearly 13-acre property located at East 1st Avenue and University Boulevard. This site, currently occupied by steakhouse Elway’s, a running store, and a large parking lot, will be redeveloped into Cherry Creek West, a project first announced in the fall of 2021. Open spaces will take up about 41% of the buildable area, with the remaining land going toward seven new residential and office buildings, according to East West Partners, which had not previously detailed the amount of open space in the project. #denverrealtor #coloradorealtor #Cherrycreek #Cherrycreekrealtor

"If something has a lead time, the lead time is always honest. If we're told it's going to take four weeks, it genuinely will take four weeks, and it will arrive within a day or two of that on-site which is brilliant."
