*Attention Virginia Builders* *Virginia Senate Bill 195* The Virginia Board of Housing and Community Development is in the midst of forming a stakeholder advisory group which will include fire code officials, licensed building professionals and other building safety experts to evaluate and recommend revisions to the Uniform Statewide Building Code to permit Group R-2 occupancies to be served by a single exit, provided that the building has not more than six stories above grade plane. The bill requires the stakeholder advisory group to submit its findings and recommendations to the Board and to the Chairmen of the House Committee on General Laws and the Senate Committee on General Laws and Technology no later than December 1, 2024. "I strongly encourage the Hampton Road building construction community to get involved and speak up on behalf of the building safety professionals that have worked tirelessly for many years to provide us with the most comprehensive building and fire safety codes and regulations. The importance of having a second means of egress in R-2 occupancies is so important to have in the event of a fire to give occupants an alternative means of egress. The group lobbying for this change stated that the second means of egress will be when the fire department shows up with a ladder truck. For those individuals with limited mobility that could prove fatal. The group lobbying for this change has also failed to think through the importance of having a second means of egress in the unfortunate event of an active shooter situation to give building occupants a second means of exit. Again, I strongly encourage the Hampton Road Building Construction industry to get involved, look at the facts and speak up to keep Virginia Multi-Family housing as safe as possible. If you're interested in participating in the stakeholder's advisory group, I'd encourage you to reach out to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.” -Eric S.

As NJ’s urban areas get all the attention around transit-oriented development, it’s easy to overlook the Garden State’s rural counties when it comes to multifamily construction and access to public transportation. Yet Hunterdon and Warren counties prove that developers will take notice given the right location and demand backdrop. Since 2019, rural multifamily inventory has grown 14%, most of it in Hunterdon County. Here, almost half of the new apartments built in the past five years are under two miles from a train station on the Raritan Valley Line. Strong renter demand momentum has helped as the area has seen positive absorption since 2020, a trend expected to continue through this year. #newjersey #hunterdoncounty #njtransit #multifamily #construction #costar

Spend sixty seconds with Louis Botha, ASLA Construction Manager, to gain some insight into what “dignity through infrastructure” means to him.    “Dignity through infrastructure... it's improving, enhancing and uplifting the less fortunate. We change people's lives. During the construction phase of whatever we do, we create a lot of employment opportunities, that leaves them in the position to provide for families that they could not have done before. Upon completion, we leave something behind, either roads or serviced plots. In my case in the housing department, we leave a family with a home that's never owned a house before. And for me that is a lasting effect. We start with vacant land and we develop that into a community. "If I have to describe ASLA in one word, I would say powerful.”     #DignityThroughInfrastructure #ASLAgroup #ConstructionWesternCape #WesternCapeHousingConstruction 

Snapshot of new construction housing units tied to Denver Permit applications. Drop attributed to legislation like re-energize Denver and new models of rent control. Add in rising interest rates and there is no room for any ROI on deals in the city with these policies.
