    Construction begins on The Central development in St. Petersburg – Tampa Bay Times - March 5, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Published Feb. 28|Updated Feb. 28

    The site of the former St. Petersburg Police Department in the Edge District will be transformed into a mixed-use development with offices, income-restricted apartments, retail, a four-star hotel and public parking.

    St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch and other community leaders joined the development team at the groundbreaking of The Central at 1301 Central Ave. on Wednesday.

    If you draw a bullseye around the neighborhood, we are the dead center, said Casey Ellison, CEO of Ellison Development which is heading up the project. Well be the center of the neighborhood, hopefully. Youll come here to eat, work out, shop.

    There will be five buildings across the 2.1-acre site: a 15-story hotel, a 12-story office building, a parking garage with 548 public spaces, a seven-story apartment building and a smaller retail building. There will be 14,000 square feet of retail space spread across the ground level of the entire project.

    The 170-room hotel will be part of Marriotts Autograph Collection. It is the first four-star hotel to be built downtown since the Vinoy. Amenities will include a theater, a restaurant, a listening lounge and a fitness center that is open to the public.

    The office building will have 125,000 square feet of space and tenants will have access to all the amenities of the hotel. Every office suite will have outdoor space as well.

    There will be 42 apartment units designated as workforce housing, meaning theyll be reserved for people who make at or below 120% of the area median income. Right now, thats about $73,080 for a single person, or $104,280 for a family of four.

    A monument on the site will pay homage to the Courageous 12, a group of Black police officers who sued the city in 1965 to end segregation in the police department. The group was honored at the groundbreaking ceremony.

    It symbolizes progress, it symbolizes innovation and a commitment to building a future that honors our past and our history while embracing the opportunities of tomorrow. said Welch.

    The development was first announced in 2019 and came in response to a request for proposal from the city. The project went through several iterations before the final plans were approved by City Council last year.

    Construction will start with the parking garage, and the public will have access to those spaces as soon as the building is completed. Construction on the entire project is expected to wrap by spring 2026.

    Edinburgh’s Stamp Office building unveils modern face-lift – Scottish Construction Now - March 5, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The Stamp Office building

    Refurbishment work to a well-known Edinburgh city centre building has been completed, making available new space to lease in the capital city as options for high-quality and well-located offices remain in short supply.

    The interior of the Stamp Office at 10 Waterloo Place adjacent to Waverley Station and St James Quarter has been comprehensively refurbished within the Grade A listed Georgian faade, with three floors now available for new occupiers.

    In addition to new-look receptions and common areas, substantial end-of-journey facilities for active commuting have been added to the buildings basement level. These include ample cycle storage, a drying room, a reFit wellness room incorporating Peloton bikes and top-grade changing and shower facilities.

    Following the investment, the building is anticipated to achieve ActiveScore Platinum accreditation.

    The upgrades have also improved the buildings energy performance, with a new EPC A rating as a result of new heating and lighting systems on the fully refurbished 7th floor. The interiors have a defurbished design, bringing the historic building in line with modern occupier requirements, including exposed ceilings with visible pipework and vents, matched with attractive interior design offering a bright look and feel.

    Stamp Office is owned by CityBee, the UK office joint venture between Europi Property Group and Trinova Real Estate, with Knight Frank and EYCO acting as joint leasing agents. Current tenants include health technology business Current Health and digital design consultancy xDesign.

    Toby Withall, office agency partner at Knight Frank Edinburgh, said: Stamp Office is steeped in history and, combined with the prime location beside Waverley Station and St James Quarter, it is an attractive place for businesses to call home.

    This package of upgrades means the buildings accommodation is now perfectly matched to the style and amenities modern occupiers demand, focusing on employee wellness and sustainability in equal measure.

    The imbalance between the supply of office space in Edinburgh and demand continues, making refurbishment projects critical to ensuring new, top-quality space is available for businesses who want to set up a base here or relocate within the city.

    The Dig: We bet you’re not reading this at the office – Outlier Media - March 5, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Buildings have their own life cycles, and were bringing you two stories of Detroit buildings in transition. We have a personal story of a very ordinary looking building on the far eastside that is past its heyday. Still, it managed to launch the American Dream of one extended family for three generations. Then theres the story of the retro office tower, a structure watching its day in the sun fade away, even as some of us (Im talking about you, Detroit) cling to it.

    A few stories in the news are worth mentioning before we get into it. Detroit City Council voted yesterday to move the Future of Health development forward. Council voted 6-3 to approve both a slightly enhanced community benefits agreement and the Transformational Brownfield Plan and subsidies.

    A new report finds that title issues could mean more than 5,500 Detroit properties handed down through families dont have a clear legal owner. Thats a problem, and consider this your reminder to look into title insurance if you didnt buy your home with a mortgage that required it. Also: Write a will.

    Lastly, if you havent seen it yet, Kate Abbey-Lambertz on our team recommends this essay on why the design of buildings can, and should, matter.

    As always, thanks for reading.

    Not really a new problem: The oversupply of office buildings is talked about as a post-pandemic problem, but Wall Street Journal reporter Konrad Putzier helps us see how the glut goes back several decades. The 2022 piece is still timely and worth a read. Putzier anchors the start of the problem in 1981 when a tax change ushered in by Ronald Reagan gave companies a big write-off for office space. Loans for offices became cheap and helped usher in the savings and loan crisis. The dot-com boom in the 1990s helped boost the office market again, but its bust did the opposite. Even so, office development continued to be subsidized, loans stayed cheap, and developers kept going for it. Yet in the last couple decades, developers completed fewer conversions of older office buildings for uses like apartments or warehouses, and supply has just kept going up. (Wall Street Journal)

    Pivoting is hard: Planning to build new office towers might seem like a bad idea off the bat in an era of hybrid work, but changing direction on construction projects is difficult once theyve begun. Almost every change in a construction project costs money. The bigger the development, the more complicated its financing, and the more stakeholders that need to be brought along. This is one reason pivoting away from office space doesnt happen more often. Dan Gilbert hasnt changed the vision for his project on the Hudsons site, which will include a lot of office space. He did scale back offices in the Monroe Blocks mixed-use development downtown, but most recent plans still call for 400,000 square feet of office space. Now called the Development at Cadillac Square, the site has been put to use for entertainment and rollerskating amid long construction delays. A developer in New York City is following suit, considering tennis courts instead of a skyscraper. (American Bar Association, BridgeDetroit, Detroit Free Press, Fortune)

    To convert or destroy: Developer Mike Shehadi is demolishing an old Ford Motor Co. office building not far from the Southfield Freeway rather than incorporate it into a mixed-use development planned for the Dearborn site. The reason? Expense. The University of Detroit Mercy decided to demolish the Fisher Administration Center last year for the same reason. In Midtown, a historic office building from the 60s is being turned into a hotel. The Plaza (also known as the Hammer and Nail building) was used as apartments for several years and was vacant for several years before that. Its not an old office building, but the conversion of an old Wyndham Garden Hotel in Sterling Heights into affordable apartments feels like something to celebrate. Developers eyeing dusty office buildings are focused on their wallets, but policy also plays a role: Lawmakers around the country, as well as the federal government, have started programs to make it easier to convert offices into housing. (Freep, Outlier, Detroit News, Crains Detroit Business, Marketplace, Associated Press)

    A trip back in time to the Vogue Market

    It started with a yellowing newspaper clipping shared on social media of three men standing behind the counter of a newly opened grocery store in 1946.

    The grocery was called Vogue Super Market and was built by the Misuraca family. Its now a liquor store, but its history and present help us embrace even Detroits most nondescript buildings as full of memories and meaning.

    The Franklin, a 1917 home redeveloped into offices, opens in downtown Greenville – UPSTATE BUSINESS JOURNAL – Upstate Business Journal - March 5, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Franklin Real Estate Development announced Feb. 29 its 3,517-square-foot redevelopment project, The Franklin, has opened in downtown Greenville.

    Built as a private residence in 1917, the two-story building at 107 E. Park Ave. features 12 offices ranging from 90 to 225 square feet as well as a shared break area and conference room.

    The Franklin is a great example of what can be done with old buildings, said Kurt Wallenborn, a Greenville developer and broker who worked on the project. These structures are built better than any new construction. The wood is so solid, so tight. This is like a custom house from one hundred years ago. It cant be replicated today.

    While The Franklin was redeveloped into office space, Wallenborn preserved the structures pine floors and its original double-hung casement windows were removed, restored and reinstalled.

    Winds of destruction: Las Vegas residents grapple with record speeds and losses – KTNV 13 Action News Las Vegas - March 5, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    LAS VEGAS (KTNV) This weekend's winds reached record speeds, with some gusts hitting nearly 70 mph. In their wake, tens of thousands were left without power, planes were grounded, and for some homeowners, the wind's destructive force stole memories.

    Mike Luce, a long-time resident of the valley, expressed sadness over the loss of his trees, saying, "They are a part of our home." Luce, who has lived in his home for 30 years, emphasized the significance of his yard and trees, which were full-grown when he arrived.

    Despite his efforts to care for and maintain his older trees, the wind storm on Saturday toppled years of dedicated work. Luce described the impact of the storm as severe, noting, "this one yesterday was really bad, and it eventually just wore 'em down."

    The highest wind gust recorded was in Spring Mountain at a speed of 88 miles per hour, according to the National Weather Service. As a result of the strong gusts, people like Luce are having to call tree removal services.

    Raudel Deharo, owner of Falcon Tree Services, reported receiving ten calls for tree removals on Saturday alone. He remarked, "It's good for business, not good for the owners."

    While it's sad for Luce to see his tree go, he is thankful to have it taken care of properly.

    ‘Karen’ Sues Neighbors Over Cutting A Tree, Makes A Fool Of Herself In Court – Bored Panda - March 5, 2024 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Your home should be your safe haven, and you should feel more comfortable there than anywhere else in the world. But that can be a challenge when you walk outside and are immediately confronted with judgmental, rude and perhaps even crazy neighbors.

    After one woman decided that her new neighbors had killed a century-old tree, she took it upon herself to raid their vegetable garden. Below, youll find the full story that was recently shared on Reddit detailing the drama that went down between neighbors, as well as some of the replies from invested readers.

    Being neighborly usually means being friendly to those who live around you, inviting neighbors over for cake or a nice meal every once in a while and helping each other out whenever somebody needs a ride to the airport or an extra cup of sugar. In reality, however, most of us dont actually treat our neighbors in this way. In fact, plenty of us dont even like our neighbors at all!

    According to LendingTree, a whopping 73% of Americans admit that they dislike at least one of their neighbors, and that number is even higher amongst Gen Z, those who live in apartments and those who live in the Northeast. And of course, living near people who you dont like can often cause issues, as 11% of Americans say theyve actually moved specifically because they didnt like their neighbors. And over a quarter have considered making a move for that reason.

    As far as why so many residents dont like their neighbors, 28% say they give off a weird vibe, 27% say they make too much noise, and 27% say theyre simply rude. Those are the top reasons for residents getting under their neighbors skin, but theyre not the only ones.Pets causing disruptions also bothers neighbors, as well as people who are nosy. Residents hate when neighbors dont maintain their homes exterior, their kids are loud or unruly, guests steal parking spots, they smoke, they have different political views or they use their home for short-term rentals.

    While having an obnoxious neighbor certainly isnt ideal, its usually not necessary to call the police or take your issues to court if theyre simply about a dog pooping on your lawn or kids playing loudly in their backyard. When it comes to stealing, however, then you just might have a case against your neighbor. As silly as it may sound, even newspaper theft is a crime, so stealing vegetables off a neighbors property is definitely illegal as well.

    To prevent theft like this from happening again, Reolink recommends installing security cameras to catch your neighbors in the act. Its also wise to keep a record of each steal, to have proof that it wasnt an accident or a one-time thing. Do some research on your local laws as well to know what kinds of rights you have when it comes to pressing charges or bringing in law enforcement.

    Dont be scared to bring the issue up with your neighbor face-to-face, Reolink says, but understand that they may not respond well to all of the evidence you present. Stay calm, and state the facts of what you know and what the punishment could potentially be. If it doesnt stop, you can file a police report or sue your neighbor.

    You can sue neighbors for stealing mail, packages and newspapers from you, Reolink writes. Even for items of small value, small claims courts are to help you and punish thieves living next door to you.

    In this particular situation, the whole issue arose when a tree was cut down. While that should have been none of Karens business because it wasnt her tree, there are sometimes factors homeowners need to consider before chopping down a tree. According to 8 Billion Trees, you can typically cut down a tree on your own property with no issues, as long as its not regarded as a protected species in your area. In that case, you may need a permit.

    Some states also have tree protection laws in place to try to prevent unnecessary tree removal. However, these protections apply to healthy trees only. 8 Billion Trees specifies that if a tree is dead, has already fallen in a storm or has been deemed dangerous by an arborist, no permits will be necessary to have it removed.

    We would love to hear your thoughts on this situation in the comments below, pandas. Do you think this couple handled the tree drama appropriately? Feel free to share, and then, if youre interested in reading another Bored Panda article discussing entitled neighbors, look no further than right here!
