A brand new vision for Gastown’s railyard offers a glimpse into the realm of possibilities of activating and revitalizing the remaining industrial areas of downtown Vancouver’s Central Waterfront, reported Daily Hive. "Imagine a wide range of mixed-use buildings and public spaces stretching along the railyard area between the Canada Place pier and Crab Park. At the westernmost end of this area, the 2002-built, 20-storey PricewaterhouseCoopers tower and the 1972-built, 33-storey Granville Square tower would be demolished and replaced by a new Granville Square tower that could potentially be Vancouver’s new tallest building — a new signature landmark in the downtown Vancouver skyline." "Instead of the current Granville Square parkade entrance creating a dead end for the northern foot of Granville Street, there would be a northward roadway extension connecting with Canada Place Way, and a waterfront promenade would transition into a pier. Overall, there would be a continuous new waterfront public realm with ample green spaces from Canada Place Way to Crab Park, essentially creating a seamless extension of the Seaside Greenway’s pathway." https://lnkd.in/g99bJY2n #vancouver #downtown #waterfront #redevelopment

Masterplanned Community in #Markham Would Replace Big Box Centre Beaver Creek winds its way past the intersection of Highway 7 and Woodbine Avenue in #Markham, heading southeast to soon join the Rouge River as it heads toward the Rouge National Urban Park lands. Here though, while the watercourse is presently surrounded by #commercial and #industrial properties, a pair of proposals to the east of the creek would see a significant amount of #residential space added to the mix in they are approved. The larger of the abutting proposals actually surrounds the smaller one.

Uncommonly for the Greater #Toronto Area, the latest plans for the #Markham Woodside Redevelopment foresee something less dense than initially proposed. Designed by Urban Strategies Inc. for SmartCentres REIT and Choice Properties REIT, the revised plan outlines buildings ranging from 4 to 30 storeys, now to include an office building, along with parks and significant landscaping.

Escondido Housing Project Replacing Former Hospital REAL ESTATE: Greystar Building $200M+ Marlowe Palomar Heights By Ray Huard ESCONDIDO – Construction is well under way on a housing project on the downtown Escondido site of the former Palomar Health hospital, which was demolished. Marlowe Palomar Heights by Greystar, a real estate company based in South Carolina, was originally planned by Integral Communities based in Newport Beach. Greystar took over the project in late 2021 after Integral Communities took it through permitting, said Raul Tamez, Greystar senior director of development for Southern California and Hawaii. Tamez declined to say what Marlowe Palomar Heights will cost, but Integral Communities estimated in 2021 that it would cost more than $200 million. As built by Greystar, Marlowe Pacific Heights is essentially the same as proposed by Integral Communities and designed by SummA Architecture based in Bonsai. The 13.84-arce site is among the most prominent in downtown Escondido, rising from street level up a gradually sloping hill at Valley Boulevard and Grand Ave. The project will have 258 apartments, some of which will be multi-level flats, and 162 three-story townhomes. The project also will have 10,000 square feet of commercial space, a rooftop deck designed for a restaurant in a 75-foot-tall tower at the edge of the property. Greystar has done a number of projects in San Diego County, including a $100 million, 20-story Bankers Hill apartment tower at 525 Olive St. that it built in partnership with St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral, which is adjacent to the apartment building. Tamez said that the company is changing its focus because it’s become too expensive to build any more towers. “Costs for high-rise construction have exceeded any other construction type to the point where rents cannot keep up with the level of construction costs,” Tamez said. “A lot of developers, Greystar being one of them, have put high-rise projects on hold.” Marlowe Palomar Heights is an example of Greystar’s shift in focus from building urban towers to mid-rise projects, Tamez said. https://lnkd.in/dhX628RE #construction #commercialrealestate #development #housing #apartments #townhomes #escondido #greystar

Partnerships aren't just paperwork. Success isn't just strategy. Teams aren't just org charts. Here's what I've learned about building something real: The best partnerships? They're built on trust, not just terms. Like knowing someone's got your back when things get rough. Like texts that say "We'll figure this out." That's why we're fired up to partner with BCC on Cadre Townhomes. Real partnerships. Real trust. Real results. Strong teams aren't about perfect people. They're about perfect fit. It's about: • Having each other's blind spots • Celebrating wins like they're your own • Showing up when it matters most Some folks chase talent. I chase character. Because skills can be taught. But heart? That comes ready-made. Buck up and choose wisely. Your team isn't just who you work with. They're who you build with. Who's in your corner? Who’s on your team? Who’s your key partner?
