The automated parking system uses a robotic arm to plug in a Level 2 charging cable. When the car finishes charging, the robotic arm unplugs the cable, and the EV is moved to another parking spot automatically. About a decade ago, Tesla promised a robotic arm that would automatically plug in an EV for overnight charging. That never happened, but other companies have risen to the challenge and are now offering fully featured products.

A planning row over the development of 55 apartments at a protected structure in a south Dublin suburb has resulted in dozens of residents submitting objections due to concerns about child safety, traffic and the impact on local creches and schools. South Dublin County Council granted permission to Emmaville Ltd, a joint venture between Tipperary building firm Clancy Construction and Cork property developers Lyonshall Ltd, for the construction of an apartment block at Scholarstown House on Scholarstown Road in Dublin 16 last month.

Standing 74 meters tall at the tip of Feijenoord Island, De Piek transforms a neglected parking lot into a vibrant waterfront hub. This residential tower brings new life to a previously overlooked industrial area in South Rotterdam, with 142 apartments and a ground-floor cafe that opens the quay to public use. Strategically positioned next to the Piek bridge, De Piek is part of a broader vision to convert the former industrial zone into a lively urban quarter blending residential, commercial, and public functions.

Urban Catalyst is updating their dual high-rise proposal into two eight-story residential buildings. The project shifts from earlier office and housing concepts to focus solely on apartments, delivering 626 units across sites at 147 E. Santa Clara St. and 95 N. Fourth St. This adaptation uses wood-frame construction for efficiency and cost reduction, allowing the development to progress amid economic realities while addressing the city's housing needs.

The Sax consists of two interconnected towers that truly live up to their musical namesake. The taller "Havana" tower soars 180 meters across 55 stories, while its companion "Philadelphia" reaches 82 meters with 26 floors. The towers are dramatically connected by a golden skybridge spanning six stories, creating what MVRDV describes as a "saxophone-like silhouette" that will serve as a beacon on Rotterdam's evolving waterfront.

The project includes a seven-story, 505-unit market-rate apartment building, a five-story, 132-unit, 100% affordable apartment building and 100 for-sale townhouse units configured in 14 three-story buildings. This site's been vacant for many years, and when we were first introduced to this site about two and a half years ago, it was in the time when builders' remedy applications seeking to lower density were abundant, said Scott Connelly, a representative of Valley Oaks Partners.

When you're hunting for a building plot, it's easy to think you'll stumble across a neat patch of grass with planning permission already sorted and services waiting at the boundary. In reality, that almost never happens and more often than not, the best opportunities are hidden in plain sight - old garages, barns, or even, in building expert Mark Stevenson's case, a disused post office.

A planning inspector stated that Rose and Chris Murray should not be denied retention for their house built without permission solely due to density concerns, noting that similar developments have received permission in the area.

The development will feature a new Bauhaus-inspired block, which will be leased as student accommodation, and a separate council-managed social housing block.
