Some of the City of Fishers major construction projects will be finished in 2021, including the 146th Street and Ind. 37 interchange and the Nickel Plate Trail tunnel under 116th Street, among others.

146th Street and Ind. 37 will be the citys major road construction project for next year.

Fadness

Mayor Scott Fadness acknowledges that 2020 was a prolific year for road construction in the city.

It was a very busy year in terms of road improvements, Fadness said. In 2021, there will be a bit of a rest. The only major road infrastructure project youll see in Fishers next year is 146th Street and State road 37 under serious construction.

Earlier this year, 126th Street and Ind. 37 opened as part of the State Road 37 Project.

Fadness said the most disruptive portion of the Nickel Plate Trail will be tackled in 2021.

That is the 116th tunnel being built, he said. For a period of time, 116th Street will be closed to traffic as we build that tunnel. Our hope is to see significant work done on the Nickel Plate Trail in the downtown area in the near future, and at the end of next year, we expect to see that trail open from 106th Street to 131st Street.

Some stretches of the trail on the south side and north side are complete, and the 116th Street tunnel will connect to those stretches.

Its always the most complicated work is the downtown trail section, but at the end of that, we will have world-class infrastructure, Fadness said.

In the spring, 116th Street will close. Fadness said crews will work when schools arent in session.

The first phase of the Geist Waterfront Park will begin next year.

There will be a lot of activity out there. The beach, the parking lot, the restrooms, the gate, the entranceway are all parts of that first phase, Fadness said.

Fadness said the city plans to open Geist Waterfront Park in the spring of 2022. The project will go to bid in February or March. Three phases are planned, but the park will be fully functional after the first phase.

Construction of First Internet Bank and CRG Residential will continue in 2021. (Submitted renderings)

First Internet Bank will remain under construction in 2021, with completion planned for the end of next year. Fadness also said CRG Residentials downtown project will be under construction through all of 2021. CRG Residentials project is a five-story apartment building with 241 units, 10 townhomes, office and retail space along 116th, North and Maple streets. The project also will include a parking garage.

Another 116th Street project includes the Maple Del west of the Chatham Tap restaurant. Fadness said the project will break ground next year.

Our economic development team continues to work, so theres a lot of interest and activity on investing in our community, so I really am optimistic about 2021 when it comes to jobs and investment in our community, he said.

In 2021, the City of Fishers will launch a series programs to grow home ownership.

This is a new idea we are looking at for next year, Mayor Scott Fadness said. Theres a desire to see diversified housing stock in our urban core multi-family homes, new homes, single-family residential homes, so we are trying to work toward having a creative program in place to accelerate that opportunity.

Fadness also wants to refresh the citys sense of community.

Hopefully, as we clear COVID and are able to interact and engage as residents once again, I really hope we have a strong offering of opportunities for people to engage in their community as well as they did, if not better, than they did prior to the pandemic, Fadness said.

In a pandemic environment not friendly to commercial tenants, the SoDo (for South Downtown) development centered on the 1010 State St. property is tilting more toward residential than originally planned.

Kyle Shirley, the principal of the TinTin Properties LLC that has been working since 2017 to develop the block bordered by East 10th and East 11th avenues, won approval Dec. 17 for a rezoning that will allow for that emphasis on apartments.

The City-County Planning Commission of Warren County, meeting via Zoom teleconference, approved in an 11-0 vote the application from TinTin Properties to rezone the 1.09-acre property from central business to planned unit development in order to use more than 50 percent of the first floor of the existing structures for residential.

The rezoning, which will go to the Bowling Green City Commission for final approval, will allow Shirley to expand the residential portion of the 511 E. 10th Ave. building that is called 511 Flats in the original development plans.

What happened is when he (Shirley) started the interior buildout, he was slightly beyond the 50 percent maximum, said Chris Davenport, the attorney representing TinTin Properties. That triggered the necessity for this request.

Plans call for a maximum of 30 apartments in the development, which is adjacent to the 23-unit Armory Lofts apartments also overseen by Shirleys group.

With occupancy in the Armory apartments and those in the Roebuck building at 1010 State St. running at about 85 percent, Shirley reasoned that it made more sense to emphasize the residential aspect of the development.

What Kyle found is that there isnt justifiable demand for commercial space on the first floor, Davenport said. There is demand for additional residential space.

Shirley said the rezoning will allow him to build a two-bedroom apartment on the first floor of the 511 Flats building and still include a small footprint for commercial.

He said the total SoDo development now has 25 apartments that range in rent from $950 to $1,700 a month.

For high-end downtown rentals, the 85 percent occupancy is acceptable, he said.

Shirley said he hasnt had as much luck with the commercial portion of the development, which includes 6,000 square feet in the basement of the Roebuck building.

Weve had a few people look at the space, Shirley said. Its just not the right time. The whole basement floor is available. Its a blank envelope at the moment.

The planning commission also approved a Future Land Use Map amendment and rezoning request that could allow Stewart Richey Construction to expand the industrial use of its property at 2137 Glen Lily Road.

Stewart Richey was approved for a FLUM amendment taking the 35.61 acres at 2137 and 2191 Glen Lily Road from mixed-use/commercial and moderate density residential to industrial. The property was then approved for rezoning from light industrial and residential estate to heavy industrial.

According to the application, the rezoning is needed in order to bring the property into compliance with zoning ordinance regulations and accommodate future industrial uses.

The rezoning will go to Warren Fiscal Court for final approval.

Bisnow/Miriam Hall

Long Island City from Manhattan

TF Cornerstone, the developer tapped to build Amazons campus in Long Island City before the deal went south, is now planning to build two big apartment buildings in the neighborhood.

The firm filed plans with the Department of Buildings for two buildings that will span a total of 1.43M SF, The Real Deal reports. One building, at 55-01 Second St., would feature 575 units while the other, at 2-10 54th St., will contain 812 units.

The site cost the firm $285M back in 2018, a deal that was secured just daysbefore Amazon announced its plans to build nearby. The tech giant had planned to build its campus on the Long Island City waterfront, but the community and local politicians chafed against the billions in tax breaks and grants Amazon was due to receive. They also voiced concerns about the strain on local infrastructure and what the tech giants presence would mean for rents and housing affordability.

Ultimately,Amazonwithdrewfrom the city, a stunning decisionthat devastated many who predicted it would have been a boon for the area. Instead of bringing a promised 25,000 workers to Queens, earlier this year, Amazon paid$1.5B to WeWork for the former Lord & Taylor building on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.

TF Cornerstone is also active in Manhattan,joiningwith RXR Realty for Project Commodore, a mixed-use building planned for the site at 109 East 42nd St. Last year, it paid Greenland and then Forest City New York $143.1M for Pacific Park land parcels at 615 and 595 Dean St. in Brooklyn.

Developer Who Almost Landed Amazon HQ2 Planning Scores Of Apartments In Its Place - Bisnow

Construction has begun on a four-story, 70-unit apartment complex at the site of the former Doyles Restaurant on West 34th Street.

Avenue, a Houston nonprofit that develops affordable housing, announced Tuesday that it had broken ground on Avenue on 34th, a mixed-income rental development on a 2.1-acre site at 2136 W. 34th St. Construction is expected to be complete by mid-2022.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held last week that included Avenue executive director Mary Lawler, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, Houston Housing and Community Development Department director Tom McCasland and Amegy executive vice president Brian Stoker, whose bank is a primary lender for the project.

We are delighted to advance construction on Avenue on 34th at a time when affordable housing with proximity to the Inner Loop is such a critical need among working families, Lawler said in a news release. The influx of new developments in and around the citys urban core has resulted in the demolition of existing lower-cost housing and, as a result, has priced low- and middle-income families out of many communities.

The Houston City Council voted unanimously in September to provide a $9.09 million loan to Avenue, using Hurricane Harvey Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Funds awarded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Texas General Land Office. According to the council agenda item, the estimated total cost of the project is nearly $18.2 million.

Avenue said another funding source for the project are 4 percent low-income housing tax credits allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Additional funders include the Houston Housing Finance Corporation and Hunt Capital Partners through a multi-investor fund that includes Aetna.

The general contractor for the development is Block Companies, which Avenue said will host a community day and job fair in February. The event will be free, open to the public and include information about employment opportunities for local construction-related jobs.

Citing a recent report by the United Way of Greater Houston, Avenue said 25 percent of the nearly 11,000 households in the 77018 zip code where its new development will be located qualify as ALICE, which stands for asset-limited, income-constrained and employed. Such families represent hardworking members of the Houston community whose household income is above the federal poverty level, but insufficient to cover basic necessities such as housing, child care, food, transportation and healthcare, according to Avenue.

Data shows that affordable homes help strengthen families and communities as a whole, providing families with a path forward to greater financial stability and improved health outcomes, Lawler said.

Avenue on 34th will feature 23 one-bedroom apartments, 27 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments, with a total of 14 units offered at market rate. The rest will be designated for families earning between $35,000-$65,000 annually.

Among the amenities to be offered are an outdoor play space, learning center and activity room, business center and fitness room, along with resident services such as after-school tutoring for children as well as credit-building and homebuyer education programs for adults.

A project to revitalise Hayles harbour front has celebrated a major construction milestone with the topping out of its landmark first apartment building.

The topping out ceremony, the traditional celebration of reaching the highest point of construction, saw the completion of the concrete roof slab to the Block D apartments which will sit at the heart of the new scheme and will be named An Garth (The Yard).

Construction got under way earlier this year at North Quay which will feature beautifully designed homes, new shops and open spaces, all set within a stunning waterside location just yards from the magnificent Hayle Towans beaches with their three miles of golden sands.

Situated on the edge of what will become the new North Quay Square and close to the quayside, the apartment buildings contemporary wharf style homes will enjoy stunning water views, with many properties having a balcony or terrace.

At five storeys, it is the tallest of the new buildings being constructed as part of the award-winning development.

David Speight, construction director for Corinthian Homes, said: We are very pleased and proud to be celebrating this milestone at the end of what has been a transformative 12 months for the North Quay scheme.

It represents not only a high point for this particular building but for the whole team of more than 100 construction professionals, local contractors and apprentices, which has worked so effectively, diligently and safely together in making such impressive progress during this extraordinary year.

In addition to the successful work to the apartment building, there has been significant progress right across the North Quay development:The first block of new quayside townhouses has been largely completed, with all these homes now sold.

Major infrastructure work is continuing to create underground car parking in preparation for further development along the quaysides.

Site preparation and significant ecological work has taken place for a new spine road which will link the waterfront and hilltop areas of the site.

A project to repair and repoint some of North Quays listed quay walls is under way as part of the Corinthian Harbour and Marine Programme.A new beachside restaurant - Lulas - successfully opened at North Quay, with the support of Corinthian Homes, and had proved popular with local people and visitors.

Phase one of the scheme will feature 140 properties over 11 buildings, including 17 three-bedroom wharf style houses and one, two and three bedroom apartments, many with views over the Hayle estuary and beyond.

Earlier this year, the development by Corinthian Homes (part of the Corinthian Homes Group), and designed by internationally renowned architects and urban designers Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, was announced as a winner in the Project Category in the prestigious Housing Design Awards 2020.

Mr Speight said a planning application had been submitted for Phase two of the scheme, to include a new hotel and community centre, improved water sport and harbour facilities, cinema and new open-market and affordable homes.

Hayle Harbour development celebrates milestone with topping out ceremony - In Your Area

Marvels Jonathan Marvel and Dattners Kirsten Sibilia

In the early weeks of 2020, architect Jonathan Marvel saw a steady stream of multifamily and public works jobs come across his desk.

And then everything came to a screeching halt, he said.

Marvels eponymous firm wasnt alone. Design work dried up during the height of the pandemic as many construction sites shut down and financing became scarce.

Still, once construction work was permitted to resume in New York, many firms saw business pick back up. The Real Deal compiled a list of the most active architecture firms of 2020, based on the square footage of ground-up projects.

For the purposes of this ranking, TRD went by the architect of record listed on new building permit applications filed between Jan. 1 and Dec. 4 with the citys Department of Buildings. The list includes several firms that have repeatedly ranked among the most active companies over the last several years, although a few newcomers also cracked the top 10 this year.

Marvel, which didnt make last years list but ranked third in 2018, saw activity pick back up in the second and third quarters.

Our steady, long-term clients stuck with us, and Im very grateful for that, Jonathan Marvel said. I think theres a glimmer of light coming across for 2021.

The firm recently rebranded as Marvel no Architects to underscore that its work goes beyond building design and other disciplines, including landscape architecture and urban planning.

In May, the firm filed a permit application for the third phase of Rockaway Village, a residential complex in Far Rockaway. The latest phase includes three buildings at 20-12 and 21-02 Mott Avenue and 17-21 Redfern Avenue, with a total of 538 apartments. The three buildings are expected to collectively span 634,000 square feet, making the project Marvels largest new building filing of the year.

Its expected to break ground in early January. The five-phase project, which will ultimately include 1,700 affordable apartments, is being developed by Phipps Houses.

Like Marvel, Dattner also didnt rank among the top companies last year, but came in seventh in 2018.

We feel like we were really lucky that we came into the pandemic with a healthy backlog, said Kirsten Sibilia, the firms managing principal. The schedule on projects has changed in many cases. Projects have slowed down, but there is a shared commitment to deliver the affordable housing that is needed.

Much of Dattners portfolio consists of affordable housing projects throughout the city. Its largest new filing this year was for a 585,000-square-foot residential tower at 700 Atlantic Avenue in Prospect Heights. The building, which is being developed by Greenland Forest City Partners, is expected to include nearly 700 apartments and more than 4,300 square feet of commercial space. Its part of the 22-acre Pacific Park site, a massive development that has faced a series of delays since it was first announced in 2003. The developer filed plans for the tower in May.

Just as last year, Hill West was the architect of record on six new development projects that collectively spanned just over 1 million square feet. This year, however, the firm jumped up three spots compared to 2019, when it ranked sixth.

In October, a permit application was filed for a 566,000-square-foot mixed-use building at 355 Exterior Street in Mott Haven, in the Bronx. The project, which is Hill Wests largest ground-up project this year, will have more than 555,000 square feet of residential space and more than 10,000 square feet set aside for commercial use.

In 2018, SLCE was the citys most active architecture firm in terms of new development. Last year, the firm dropped down to fourth place, a position it held this year.

SLCEs largest project this year was a 47-story mixed-use tower planned for 98 DeKalb Avenue, on the border of Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene. The development is expected to span a little more than 418,000 square feet with 609 apartments and retail on the first floor.

The firm is also serving as architect of record on a pair of apartment buildings in Long Island City at 55-01 Second Street and at 2-10 54th Street that will span 1.43 million square feet. This project, along with another at 43-14 Queens Street that will span 770,000 square feet, were not included in this analysis, since they were filed after TRDs data pull.

Sometimes one is all it takes. Such was the case for BL Companies, which is listed as the architect of record on a single new building permit filed this year.

The project, a nearly 771,000-square-foot warehouse planned for 55-15 Grand Avenue in Maspeth, is the future home of Amazon, which signed a lease for the under-construction space in June. RXR Realty and partner LBA Logistics bought the site in 2018 for $72 million.

BL Companies got its start in 1986, first as a small transportation planning and civil engineering firm. The company, now headquartered in Connecticut, has since grown into an architecture, engineering and land surveying firm.

In mid-April, a permit application was filed for a 320,000-square-foot, mixed-use building at 35 Commercial Street in Greenpoint, which will feature 374 apartments. Park Tower Group is developing the project, which is part of the 11-building Greenpoint Landing complex. The firm, which is based in the Financial District, is also working on a nearly 300,000-square-foot mixed-use building at 312 West 43rd Street.

Aufgangs two largest projects this year are part of the Peninsula Hospital redevelopment, an 11-building complex in Far Rockaway developed by the Arker Companies. This year, plans were filed for 5119 and 5123 Beach Channel Drive, mixed-use buildings that will respectively span 220,500 and 161,800 square feet. The two buildings will have a total of 451 apartments.

GF55 has been active in the outer boroughs, with projects located in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island. The firms largest new project was a 208,000-square-foot residential building at 475 Bay Street in Staten Island. BFC Partners, the company behind Empire Outlets, is developing the project. The firms second-biggest project was a 184,000-square-foot, mixed-use building at 1016 Fox Street in the Foxhurst section of the Bronx. The building is being developed by the Atlantic Development Group.

Brooklyn-based J. Frankl largely focuses on residential, mixed-use projects. The firm was founded in 2010 by Joseph Frankl, who set out to form a mid-sized company.

The larger firms, there is a lot of bureaucracy, he said.

The firm is new to TRDs annual ranking of the most active architects. Its largest project was a 172,000-square-foot residential building at 26-25 Fourth Street in Astoria. The firm is also designing a 131,000-square-foot, mixed-use building for developer Solomon Feder at 1640 Flatbush Avenue in Midwood. That project is expected to include 171 apartments.

Miami-based Arquitectonica rounded out this years ranking, marking the first time since 2015 that the firm has made the cut. The companys largest project of 2020 was a 300,000-square-foot mixed-use building at 145 Wolcott Street in Red Hook. Draw Brooklyn is developing the project.

The project will include pedestrian connections to the ports redevelopment area to the west, Valk said. The port project is expected to begin construction in 2022, according to port CEO David Ripp.

With Ninebark, we envision a sustainable, equitable and accessible waterfront community that offers an experience, with access to nature and amenities alike, that is unlike anything else in the market, Killian Pacific director of development Michi Slick said in a statement.

Slick said the company expects Southwest Washington to continue to be a popular moving destination due to job growth, schools and the tax advantage over Oregon.

The units will be designed to provide large living spaces, according to the press release, because the company foresees a higher proportion of people working from home even after the COVID-19 pandemic ends.

The project will include a freestanding clubhouse building with views of the Columbia River and Mount Hood, which will include a fitness center and a shared gear shed for bikes, kayaks and other outdoor equipment, according to the press release.

The presentation also mentioned a community library, catering kitchen and barbecue pits, and outlined plans for a 1.2-acre park area along the south edge of the property that would include a public lawn, multiple gardens and art installations.

Killian Pacific is known for several prominent projects around Portland, particularly in the citys inner east side, as well as The Hudson office building in downtown Vancouver and the Grand Central commercial complex to the east. It also owns the Columbia Business Center south of Highway 14.

Building law reform for NSW residential apartment buildings: Beware builders and developers - Real Estate and Construction - Australia - Mondaq News...

When buyers of real-estate developer John Roes seven condos walk into their new Manhattan homes sometime after May next year, Mr. Roe wants them to breathe deep and feel good about it. Thats because he has spared no expense on air quality.

The boutique building, called Charlotte of the Upper West Side, is being constructed with an airtight external shell. Fresh air, tempered, filtered and then treated with ultraviolet light, will be constantly pumped into each room, while the same amount of used air is extracted. If a resident is worriedsay they muttered God bless you to a sniffly dinner guest a worrisome number of times last nightthey can boost the air exchange in their unit by 120%. Buyers of Mr. Roes properties will be well aware of how special their air is: Marketing materials, which typically might describe the amenities and luxe touches, include elaborate diagrams and animations describing how the air system works.

The cost of all this magnificent air? The cheapest unit will list at $11 million, while penthouses will hit $18 million, Mr. Roe says. Those price tags are largely due to the location, size and luxury finishes of the units, but the air system wasnt cheap, either, Mr. Roe says. Still, like everything else in real estate that was once the preserve of the elitethink roof decks, gyms, stainless steelthese technologies were already on a path of increased adoption and lower cost. Covid-19 has poured accelerant on the trend.

Executives at some of the countrys largest developers say they believe that by 2030 such systems will be commonplace in all residential development. Buildings with a high degree of mechanical ventilation and energy efficiency will be routine. Indoor sensors will identify when air quality has dropped and automatically increase ventilation. Systems will aim to mitigate outdoor air problems, such as general pollution or smoke from wildfires, as well as indoor threats, such as a sick resident, a burned pot roast or overenthusiastic spraying of lemon polish. Homes will feature dynamic air systems with a crisis mode that can upgrade filtration and run a disinfection protocol. Once the threat has been neutralized, systems will return to status quo to save energy.

At the same time, questions remain about what technology is most effective and worth the cost in both dollars and energy use. Will home buyers care about air quality when Covid-19 is no longer affecting daily life?

Modera Kirkwood. Image courtesy of Mill Creek Residential

Mill Creek Residential is expanding its presence in metro Washington, D.C., with the groundbreaking of Modera Kirkwood, a 270-unit multifamily community located in the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor in Northern Virginia. Leasing is expected to begin in early 2023.

It will be the 10th development community either leasing or under development by Mill Creek in the D.C. area. The others include Modera Mosaic, Modera Sedici and Modera Founders Row.

Situated at the corner of Washington Boulevard and N. Kirkwood Road in Arlington, Va., Modera Kirkwood will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with an average size of 830 square feet, private patios or balconies and select den layouts. Apartment interiors will have minimum 9-foot ceilings, wood plank-style flooring, stainless steel appliances and upgraded fixtures, quartz countertops, pendant lighting, tile backsplashes, in-unit washers and dryers, programmable thermostats and keyless entry. Bathrooms will feature double vanities and tile shower surrounds. Select homes will have front yards with stoops. The property will also have digital package lockers, controlled-access parking, additional storage, bike storage, building-wide WiFi; a pet spa and 24-hour self-service marketplace.

Mill Creek is designing and building the property to LEED Silver standards. The developer is also placing a special emphasis on health and wellness and will be including a spacious open-floor plan clubhouse with social and coworking areas; an outdoor courtyard with social zones for cooking, gathering, fitness and entertaining; and a fitness center with yoga and cycling rooms.

Joe Muller, managing director of development in the Mid-Atlantic region, said in a prepared statement the company has long admired the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor. In addition to the location, Muller said Mill Creek is also excited about the focus on wellness and the planned indoor-outdoor symmetry for Modera Kirkwood.

Residents will be within walking distance of the 25 million square feet of office space in the Rosslyn-Ballston market as well as George Mason Universitys Law, Business and Policy schools, which is undergoing an expansion to create a technology and innovation hub that will cater to the nearby Amazon HQ2. Modera Kirkwood will also be near nightlife, dining and shopping options in the neighborhood, including Whole Foods and Trader Joes. The site is also close to two Metro commuter rail stations and major highways including Interstate 66, Lee Highway and U.S. Route 50.

In October, Mill Creek broke ground on Modera Frisco Square, a luxury multifamily community in Frisco, Texas, that will have 360 apartment homes, including 31 townhomes with private garages, when it is completed by spring 2022. Modera Frisco Square will be Mill Creeks 10th development community in the Dallas area.

The developer, which has more than 85 communities representing more than 24,700 rental units across the United States, is also building Modera Washington, a mixed-use apartment community with 341 units in Houston, and Modera Overlake, a 288-unit community in the Eastside submarket of Seattle. In Atlanta, work has begun on Modera Prominence Phase II, a 395-unit luxury residential tower in the Buckhead district.
