Did you know the First Subway Was Built Secretly?                                                                                                                                         When Alfred Beach pursued the idea of building a subway, he made a full-size prototype under City Hall. It stretched from Warren to Murray. He unveiled it as a surprise, and it became a hit with the population. Over 400,000 rides were taken during the three years the route was operational. It had elegant Victorian terminals, but it eventually became an idea that wasn’t pursued.                                                                                                                    Want to learn more about the New York market?

"Commercial to Residential is not a new idea, but in this case, it’s interesting." In the heart of Providence, Rhode Island, the Arcade Building is a testament to innovative urban redevelopment. Once America's oldest shopping mall, it faced years of decline until a visionary transformation into a mixed-use marvel, blending retail with residential life. ⛔ The Challenge: Reviving a historic landmark into a vibrant community space. ✅ The Solution: Converting the upper floors into 48 micro-apartments while preserving the ground floor for retail, marrying convenience with charm in downtown Providence. This project highlights the incredible potential of commercial-to-residential conversions to preserve our architectural heritage and address today's urban housing needs. It's a shining example of how we can breathe new life into underused spaces, making our cities more livable and affordable.

Residential Tower to Rise at Miami Transit Hub

Newark Approves Scaled Back Summit Tower Skyscraper By Chris Fry The skyline of the Brick City continues to evolve at a pace not seen in generations and the latest development slated for a prominent block of Downtown has been given the full green light. The approved tower is slated to rise at 200-206 Market Street, properties that are currently home to older structures that have sat vacant for at least two decades. Jersey Digs broke the news about the project last October after Newark’s Landmark & Historic Preservation Commission signed off on the application. The properties are located within the Four Corner Historic District, which is listed on both state and federal designations. The approvals from the historic commission last year came with a catch, as the board wished to slightly downsize the proposed 46-story development to be shorter than the National Newark building. 514 residential units are included in the approved plan, down a bit from the initially proposed 579. 20 percent of the units will be reserved for affordable housing, and the development will include 142 parking spaces in a garage for future residents. Amenities for residents in the future Summit Tower will include a gym, lounge spaces, a foosball area, a golf simulator and a children’s room. #newark #njrealestate #brickcity #marketstreet #fourcornerhistoricdistrict #summittower

🏗️ Are you wondering what is being built next to CSUSM in City of San Marcos, CA 🏗️ North City San Diego is building 222 North City, a 12-story mixed use project. North City (originally approved in 2009) is evolving in reaching its potential by creating our first true downtown. This market rate housing will bring much needed housing to the market . It’s predicted to provide housing for many faculty members for California State University San Marcos (currently our largest employer in our city), building housing adjacent to jobs, creating a synergistic atmosphere. It will also provide a much needed clientele base for the current restaurants in North City. It’s exciting to watch this project being built after the slowdown due to the “Great Recession” and the “Global Pandemic”, breathing life into our first true downtown that brings together businesses, housing, and a park together in a walkable community that is close to jobs and transit options. Stay tuned, it is predicted for occupancy by late 2025. #HousingDiversity #NorthCity #DowntownLiving #SanMarcosCity #DiscoverLifesPossibilities
