The long retail spine of Sydney Road, Brunswick, just north of Melbourne's CBD, was once a prosperous trading outpost on the way to the goldfields. These days it's a bohemian mix of variety stores, op shops, halal butchers and Lebanese bakeries. Take a side street to the west, however, and a different picture emerges. Sandwiched between Sydney Road and the Upfield train line is an area undergoing rapid and widespread transformation. Light industry is fast being replaced by mid- rise apartment buildings , their inhabitants attracted by the short commute into town and cheaper prices than in the city's south-east. The quality of these units is, on the whole, depressingly bad; think poor ventilation and bedrooms that "borrow" natural light (a weasel word for being dark and windowless). The occasional jazzy façade tries feebly to make up for otherwise cheap construction amid a chorus of greys. At ground level, carpark roller doors alternate with mean pocket garden...

Residents check out the plans for a 294- unit apartment complex on Nixon Road at a meeting Tuesday night at the Traverwood Branch Library in Ann Arbor. Ryan J. Stanton | AnnArbor.com Neighbors of a proposed 294- unit apartment complex at Nixon Road and M-14 say they're concerned about adding more traffic to an already congested area. "It's hell right now," said Cathy Baker , who lives in the Barclay Park condominiums and says traffic regularly backs up on Nixon Road during rush hour. About two dozen residents attended a citizen participation meeting hosted by the developer Tuesday night at the Traverwood Branch Library in Ann Arbor.

A model house swap: Made in Chelsea star Lottie Moss looks set to swap glitzy Fulham pad for a Victorian home

Image
Model Lottie Moss is house hunting in west London. The 19-year-old sister of supermodel Kate was spotted viewing a Victorian property in a residential street with her close friend and fellow Made in Chelsea star, Frankie Gaff. The girls are currently living in an apartment at Barratt’s super- modern Fulham Riverside . The developer has planning permission for a total of 462 homes and a Sainsbury’s superstore on the prime Thames-side site. Lottie is making the most of the facilities and posted an Instagram picture of herself relaxing on the balcony with a bottle of wine and a bar of chocolate. A few minutes’ walk from Chelsea Harbour and close to King’s Road, the apartment is ideally positioned for her social life. However, it seems she could be keen to swap this shiny new property for something a little more traditional.  ( Instagram / @ lottiemossxo ) Reuse content

Partners keep families housed after Silver Oak Apartments close

Dozens of low-income families being displaced by the closing of the 337- unit Silver Oak Apartments have found new homes, thanks to a hastily put together partnership of Charlotte nonprofits and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Organizers say Community Link and Charlotte Family Housing helped 34 low -income households (115 people) avoid homelessness by placing them in homes. One additional family remains in Silver Oak, but a housing plan is in place for them to move, officials said. Crisis Assistance Ministry provided $15,095 to 15 households that needed help with security and utility deposits to get into new homes. Other partners in the program, including Communities in Schools and A Child’s Place, helped place some children in new schools and identified other students as eligible for homeless aid programs . Carol Hardison of Crisis Assistance Ministry said the closing of Silver Oak worsens Charlotte ’s affordable housing shortage , which experts say is a key reason family ho...

The week in business - The Boston Globe

INDUSTRY GE delays opening of new building in Fort Point General Electric Co. has pushed back the expected opening of its new building overlooking Fort Point Channel by two years after deciding to break the headquarters project into two phases. GE vice president Ann Klee said in a memo Tuesday to Boston employees that executives expect the 12- story building , dubbed South Point , to open in mid-2021, compared with an earlier goal of 2019. Two older brick buildings , together dubbed North Point , will be renovated first, with the aim of opening them in the first half of 2019. GE has already started work on the two old buildings, originally part of a Necco candy manufacturing complex . But construction on the new building was supposed to happen concurrently with much of the Necco renovations. Now, GE will finish the Necco buildings and move employees into them before starting construction of the new building. GE expects it will take 24 months to complete the new structure. The ann...
