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. Currently a large #commercial site with big box stores, restaurants, and parking lots, Woodside #Markham is proposed to gradually be reborn as a mixed-use, masterplanned community. First submitted to #Markham in 2021, the #redevelopment plan has recently been revised and resubmitted to the City. 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.

Construction works to transform the Broad Walk area of #Harlow Town Centre will begin this month. After months of planning and the completion of detailed designs, project contractors, Conamar, have set up a construction compound in Market Square with invasive site investigations having recently taken place. The multi-million-pound regeneration of Broad Walk will create high-quality, welcoming spaces, including: · Complete repaving of Broad Walk, Cross Street and East Walk · Brand new LED lighting and CCTV provision · Street furniture · Introduction of much needed green, landscaped spaces to complement and continue existing landscaping within The Water Gardens. The scheme is funded through the Government’s Town Deals programme, forming part of Harlow’s Towns Fund programme. This phase marks a milestone in transforming Harlow Town Centre and supports the council’s aspirations to provide a high-quality and safe retail, leisure and residential destination at the heart of Harlow & Gilston Garden Town (HGGT). Construction work will begin at the end of September, starting with Cross Street. The scheme will be delivered in phases working at The Water Gardens end of Broad Walk first, working north, finishing at Market Square. The scheme will take 12 – 18 months and businesses will be operating as usual, with pedestrian access always maintained during opening hours. Councillor Dan Swords, Leader of Harlow Council and Chair of HGGT’s Joint Committee, said: “This scheme will see the transformation of Broad Walk as the council gets ready to start another phase of rebuilding our town centre. “Important outdoor areas of the Town Centre will be transformed with green landscaping, new pavements and new street furniture to create a safer, brighter, more welcoming place for shoppers, visitors and potential investors. “This is all about putting the heart back into Harlow’s Town Centre and it’s just one part of the that we are rebuilding. “Work to transform the bus station and Terminus Street is well underway, plus work starts early next year on the new Arts and Cultural Quarter and plans will shortly be confirmed for the redevelopment of Market Square.” #regeneration #buses #towncentre #development #community #greeninfrastructure #environment #arts #retail #shopping #leisure #government #publicsector #construction #housing #essex #hertfordshire #eastherts #epping

Consultation phase for 33 storey co-living development in Cardiff city centre

**New Contract Award | Market Street – Countryside Partnerships (Vistry Group)** We are excited to announce our recent appointment by Countryside Partnerships for the development of a new 169-bed apartment project in Bracknell. Our dedicated team will be responsible for the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a CAT 4 Residential Sprinkler System, ensuring full compliance with BS9251:2021. We will also implement a Commercial Sprinkler System (OH3) in line with BS12845 standards, along with Dry Risers conforming to BS9990. This project is strategically located within a sustainable area, just a short walk from Bracknell's train and bus stations, right in the heart of the town centre. It aims to enhance accessibility between the leisure facilities to the west of Market Street and the Lexicon centre to the east. Market Street marks the second site submitted for planning under the Bracknell Forest Cambium Partnership. The application focuses on delivering high-quality residential apartments and commercial spaces, which will significantly improve the public realm and enhance the overall accessibility of the town centre, particularly from the west. Craig Derbyshire, Director of Business Development at Detect & Protect Limited, stated: “As an established construction partner to Vistry Group, we are honoured to be entrusted with the delivery of the Fire Suppression Systems. It’s a privilege to be part of this remarkable initiative that aims to rejuvenate this area of the city. Our collaborative efforts with Countryside Partnerships and the design team, along with our proactive engagement and technical expertise, have been crucial to the project's success of the city". Working collaboratively with Countryside Partnerships and the design team, our early engagement approach and technical expertise and knowledge has been invaluable. Well done to all involved within the Detect & Protect Limited team and we look forward to boots on site in March.

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?

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

On June 26, New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)'s Board approved a contract with Mega/Technico Joint Venture to renovate 1,668 apartments at Wyckoff Gardens and Gowanus Houses. This marks a significant step forward in the $216 million project funded by the 2022 Gowanus Neighborhood Plan. “These planned renovations are an investment in enhanced quality of life for over 3,700 Brooklyn residents at Wyckoff Gardens and Gowanus Houses,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce Maria Torres-Springer. #NYCHA is utilizing design-build project delivery, which improves coordination, shortens the procurement process, and ultimately saves money by awarding contracts to single entities for both design and construction work. The renovations will include kitchen and bathroom upgrades, hazardous material abatement, and heating optimization, with a focus on resident input and minimal disruption.
