The 1700 block of West Broadway will soon be re-energized with new tenants following last year's departure of Future Shop.

Where the Commute Is 30 Seconds

But they approached construction from very different perspectives. “Set design is a more one-sided thing,” Ms. Delson said. “It may not have to be visible from every view.

Credit Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times They were in full agreement that every inch of the 1,700-square-foot space had to count, because Mr. Dodge, 34, wanted the loft, on 17th Street in Chelsea, to double as his office. “I said we have to design it like a ship,” he said. “I needed to have space for three other people to work here. I wanted to have access to my library. I travel a lot for business so when I am in New York, I like to be home as much as possible. It’s nice having a 30-second commute.” The office is tucked into a corner of the apartment behind doors, and a row of five clock...

Student accommodation in Newcastle for your budget - from the affordable to luxury

Image
Your A-level results are in the bag and you’ve won a place at one of Newcastle’s universities. But where are you going to live? Students are increasingly cash-strapped due to rising living, travel and utility costs. Scrapped grants and raised fees are not helping either. Some flats can cost a fortune, with increasing builds which look they are designed for City bankers, not cash-strapped students. Planners say rooms are getting posher because restrictions on multiple occupancy homes are tighter, but the result is accommodation which is beyond the means of many.

Renting your own place - even a modest studio - can be quite expensive. Socially, especially for first year students, it may be best to apply for official university accommodation , as this means you are most likely to be living with people wh...

Good reputations take years to develop and the people at Townline are using the company’s reputation for quality in their sales pitch for The Parker, a new 47-home development in the ever- popular Cambie corridor . Townline is a local operation that has been building homes in Vancouver since 1981. Back then, it was single-family homes, but the company has since branched out to building multi-family homes, mixed-use buildings, rental apartments and non- market developments in Metro Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. “Buyers in today’s market are increasingly choosing developments based on the reputation of the developers,” said Chris Colbeck, Townline’s vice-president of sales and marketing. “A big part of our sales pitch at The Parker is that we’re a local developer.
