Recent press about challenges facing the development of much needed housing in Massachusetts has us thinking about the public approvals process for some of our past projects and what can be accomplished when developer, city, and neighborhood goals align--in the right economic environment. Completed in 2016, The Tremont set a new precedent for market-rate housing on Mission Hill, infilling an underutilized site, building on the residential character of the neighborhood, and strengthening the commercial nature of Tremont Street. The 66-unit project, with three stories of apartments over ground floor retail and covered parking, is broken down into two building volumes which define a central courtyard to provide common outdoor space for residents.https://lnkd.in/ea393Cfk

John Smolak - At over $606K per unit, I do hope no government funding, tax credits or other government incentives were provided for this project!

Key strategy 3 in the Tulsa Housing Strategy calls for prioritizing housing development in downtown Tulsa and commercial areas. To address the anticipated rise in housing demand over the next decade, it's crucial to intensify efforts in older commercial areas, particularly downtown and underutilized commercial properties. This approach will bolster housing development and promote district revitalization. Here are the key actions to advance this strategy:➣ Prepare redevelopment strategies for sites and underutilized properties identified in the housing suitability map. ➣ Acquire an underutilized commercial property to facilitate a housing pilot and/or demonstration project. ➣ Support downtown office conversions to residential.

PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY. WLWT's Danielle Dindak spoke with Covington Economic Development Director Tom West last week about the Central Riverfront Neighborhood development, or, as West said, "We're calling it the 21st-century version of the Covington that we all love.""... When you add in what's being invested on the other side of the river, this probably becomes one of the most concentrated areas of capital investment in the country," said West.Read the full article here:https://lnkd.in/gmGtP49X #CovingtonRiverfrontNeighborhood #economicdevelopment #riverfrontdevelopment #CovingtonRiverfrontNeighborhooddevelopment #capitalinvestment #CovingtonKY #CovingtonNKY #LoveTheCov

$146.4M value loss in 23 years. But that loss is a catalyst for something new for Gwinnett Place Mall.Much-needed housing is a big part of the redevelopment plan.The "residential-heavy plan, called Global Villages, would create a central park as the communal nucleus, remake all roadways as Complete Streets with connections to other key points in Duluth, and enhance transit with possible bus-rapid-transit options and a new transit center."Redevelopment requires ingenuity, some adaptive reuse, and a lot of unique building product applications. #buildingproducts #commercialdevelopment #housinginnovation #constructionversehttps://lnkd.in/gBWGT3MQ
