The project is structured around the concept of 'Abstract Landscape,' drawing from principles in Chinese landscape painting that prioritize spiritual interpretation over literal representation. Rather than replicating historical forms, the design translates landscape qualities into geometric compositions and spatial sequences. Abstract volumes reference the condition of distant mountains and nearby waters, while controlled color contrasts establish a clear visual framework.
The street's ultra-luxury towers - from the first generation of supertalls west of Sixth Avenue that shaped the skyline, to mixed-use developments eastward 'driving the next phase of growth' - offer a dense concentration of cultural and lifestyle capital, paired with direct access to Central Park.
In recent weeks, videos have circulated on social media showing rampant paint tagging and destruction inside the structure that was a cultural touchstone in the Orange County city of Westminster for decades after it opened in 1974. In its heyday, the mall was a gathering spot when there were few other places to hang out. It was where kids found the latest fashions and where "mall rats" roamed in packs after school.
The UK has long looked to Greece through a familiar lens: sunshine, island airports and a packed summer flight schedule. Yet Greece's tourism story has started to look more like a business story-one built on regeneration, upgraded hospitality, and service sectors designed to perform beyond the peak months. That shift is increasingly visible in the full "destination package" surrounding travel and entertainment. In Greece, the mix now spans conference capacity, waterfront redevelopment
We have spent many months listening to the community to understand their priorities and their views have helped shape the plans. The development will provide a mix of new homes alongside workspaces and community space, as well as improvements to the streets and areas that local people will use every day. The delivery of housing in London is at critically low point, so we are proud that our partnership with the Council will deliver much needed affordable homes in the heart of Brixton
Stepping up at the developer, which has more than $11.7 billion in assets and more than 21,000 residential units completed or under construction, will be Related executives Gino Canori and Ann Silverberg, both San Francisco based. Canori, the company's president, will retain that title and add the role of CEO for its market-rate and mixed-income division. Silverberg, who leads affordable housing development in Related California's Northern California and Northwest divisions as its CEO, will become president and CEO of the firm's entire affordable division.
Erik Hayden, a Bay Area real estate executive who is one of the busiest developers in downtown San Jose, recently opened a new 176-room Marriott TownePlace Suites hotel on West San Carlos Street, and landed $112.5 million in construction financing for a nearby 278-unit apartment complex known as Aquino that will have an overall project cost of $135 million.
Detroit-based Bedrock development group has announced the completion of the first phase of its Hudson's Detroit mixed-use project in the city center. The project was first unveiled in 2017, when the company presented plans for a 1.2-million-square-foot development designed by SHoP Architects to be built on one of downtown Detroit's long-abandoned sites, formerly occupied by the J.L. Hudson's Department Store.
Called the Boardwalk at Bricktown, the complex was designed by AO and developed by Matteson Capital. In January, the organizations submitted a request to the Oklahoma City Council to build a 1,907-foot-tall tower, after previously being given the green light to build the structure at 1,750 feet. The approved modification means the complex will be 131 feet taller than One World Trade Center and also claim the record for the sixth tallest building in the world.
For the first time in nearly half a century, the city of Detroit has a major new addition to its skyline. Hudson's is a $1.4 billion ground-up downtown development of two buildings covering more than 1.5 million square feet, including residential, office, hotel, retail and event space. It's a large-scale argument that for all of the city's troubles-from its precipitous population decline to its high poverty levels to its rock bottom 2013 municipal bankruptcy-the city has brighter days ahead.
Brooklyn's office market is carving out its own identity as companies and workers move away from Manhattan's pricier spaces, according to new data from JLL. Average asking rents in Brooklyn dropped 5.1% over the past year, now at $53.33 per square foot. But the report shows a sharp divide between high-end and mid-tier offices. Class A buildings, the newest spaces with modern amenities, are facing vacancies close to 25%.
Tolhuiskade is a residential building located along the Tolhuiskanaal, one of the three main canals of Buiksloterham, an industrial wharf and harbor area in Amsterdam North that is transforming into a mixed-use residential and working environment. The masterplan builds on the original structure of the area, with its wide variety of building types. It brings together self-build projects, social housing, and live-work units of various scales to create a new piece of the city.
Covering nearly three acres, the surf park has a 2.67-acre Wavegarden Cove lagoon-the first of its kind in North America-that can generate up to 1,000 waves per hour. Surfers can ride more than 25 different wave types, from gentle one-foot swells to seven-foot waves. Each session lasts just under an hour, and participants can receive video highlights of their rides through the park's built-in media tools, including Flowstate.
Sunnyvale has found the blueprint for creating a prosperous downtown. Officials have figured out how to balance retail, housing and offices in the city's core, even with an aggressive plan to build out nearly 1 million square feet of new office space in downtown. Sunnyvale is confident it will attract employers with its live, work and play downtown formula. District 2 Councilmember Alysa Cisneros, who represents downtown, said she heard concerns about the office space while it was being built,
Project developer Jay Paul Co. and broker Newmark, a commercial real estate firm, believe Cityview is one of downtown San Jose's best locations. There is nothing else like Cityview in downtown San Jose, said Phil Mahoney, a Newmark executive vice chairman. This is an entirely new, mixed-use project on 11 acres at the center of downtown. Real estate executives are hopeful because project developer Jay Paul Co. is bolstered by a long track record of success in the Bay Area.
