Crucial insights on how LA can rebuild after these horrific fires.

BC Builds: Is It a Real Solution for Affordable Housing or Just Another Pipe Dream? Affordable housing is the buzzword these days, and BC Builds is offering a new opportunity for developers and housing operators to jump on board. But before we dive headfirst into this seemingly promising partnership, let's take a step back and examine the fine print. Key Questions: Transparency in Funding The promise of funding and financing sounds great on paper, but how transparent will this process be? Developers should be aware of any hidden conditions that could affect profitability. Competitive Financing Rates Rates for interim construction and take-out financing are outlined, but are they truly competitive compared to market alternatives? Developers need to scrutinize these carefully. Realistic Timelines Speeding up development timelines is the goal, but how realistic are these expectations? Accelerating project timelines often leads to cutting corners, impacting quality and safety.

The Herald is quick to jump on the Council Housing Crisis of 2024 but they were quite supportive of the entire process that caused it. Rather a long time ago. It's actually REALLY simple. No learned articles, a plethora of stats or stunning insight needed. We're led to believe it's an extremely complex conundrum. It's not. Are you ready? People's Grans bought all the good Council Houses, in the 1980s...all over the UK. We didn't any build new ones. Erm, that's it. Entire sections, of vast Cities, removed from the Council Housing Stock, forever. Papering over the cracks and suggesting that Housing Associations are a great thing, as a result of this, doesn't get away from the fact that, if you're a young, single, fit male, in Edinburgh, the waiting list, for your own Council House is... 100 years. They won't EVER tell you, or admit this. There's a rather 'sexy' name thought up/deflecting the truth, for the 'Local Authority' Houses you get now, because you can't get a Council House, as they sold off all the decent ones, usually at a 75% Discount. You'd have been bonkers not to buy your Gran's House. It was the best Financial Deal of most people's life. In the Edinburgh Local Authority landscape, it's called called 'Private Sector Leasing'. Of course, there's an acronym for this to make it sound impressive: PSL. You go through a 'middle man', an Agent, which further inflates the cost. It's the same in most places. It means, the Council actually has to rent them, from a Private Landlord. In the majority of cases, if it's in any way decent, it's probably one of them you're offered, particularly in somewhere like Edinburgh. As you might imagine, it costs rather a lot for Councils to do this and as Councils sold off all their Houses, they also have no 'collateral' to borrow against and frequently go bust. They DID make a lot of money then, but it's now caught up with them. They're skint. It's nothing to do with Housing Developers.

If zoning changes are not the solution for creating #affordablehousing, but location and #newconstruction are still the preference for buyers, then the solution just may be in the cost of building itself. Thankfully there is a whole industry (off-site construction) ready to step in and help. #infill #realestate

93 Trinity St. is being reimagined as The Builders Block, a 382-residential plan that conserves and converts the shuttered historic seven-acre Krug factory property into a multi-resident neighbourhood, complete with a set of complementary townhomes, and residential apartments including a 10-storey feature, catering to young professionals, tradespeople, families, and downsizing retirees in the Perth County market. Our goal at The Builders Block is to create a community that integrates thoughtfully with its surroundings, efficiently uses existing infrastructure, and couples underground with surface parking to minimize vehicle footprints. Importantly, our plan repurposes existing infrastructure to provide new homes in Stratford that help to preserve Perth County's agricultural lands and farming heritage—a small but meaningful role in sustaining the area's rural character. This development is working to be Stratford's first to designate 10% of residences as affordable housing, as defined by Canada’s Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and bound by a 25-year developer agreement if accepted into the program—a much needed initiative to support young families priced out of the current market. #93TrinitySt #TheBuildersBlock #HistoricRevival #StratfordON #HousingDevelopment #RealEstate #HousingInitiative #HistoricConversion
