Growing up, I expected to live the fast-paced life of a performer. I'm a Jersey girl with a New York City spirit. My dreams were set on being a principal actor on Broadway.

When we saw this home - with its east-west exposures and windows that could be seen on both sides - we were immediately sold. It was the third house we looked at, and we were so lucky the owner accepted our offer. It was a very competitive moment for home sales in the neighborhood, and the fact we were able to make it happen felt like a dream.

Firefighters operated from tower ladders to knock down the fire and conduct searches from the exterior due to unsafe interior conditions, said Deputy Chief Anthony Arpaia.

The Getty Center's inaugural renovation will blend necessary structural and cosmetic updates, revitalizing galleries to 'bring art in dialogue with nature' and introducing 'exciting new artist commissions.'

I understood at a very early age how much place matters and how impactful government services can be on one's life. The Mayor's Office of Equity and Racial Justice was really focused on working with agencies to think about how they're addressing inequity, whether it's through budget as a lever or personnel as a lever, procurement, policymaking. But land use is a lever as well.

The changes will see 87 apartments built across three blocks as part of Phase Five of the development, instead of 20 townhouses developer Qatari Diar originally asked for.

The property developer organises the tours in part to showcase the site and explain their master plan for the area, as well as why they believe it's a good idea.

Galliard Homes reduced the amount of affordable housing in the project's housing stock from 35 per cent to just 10 per cent, citing increased construction costs and changing building regulations as key factors.

"I hadn't even seen the inside just like you, but I just felt like one person, DJ equipment, had to fit in there somehow. We knew it could be Pandora's box in there."

The entrapment was so severe that emergency responders, including fire department personnel, had to use forcible methods including hatchets to pry the carousel components to free (Odette's) hand.

Built in 1913, the building calls back to the city's early development, much like the commercial clusters just a block or few long that are nestled in so many neighborhoods.

First Interstate Mortgage Co.'s income property division has arranged a $2.3-million construction loan and $2.6-million permanent loan for the rehabilitation of an existing three-story building in Pasadena, located at 95 N. Marengo St.

Once a nice-to-have niche urban design concept, TOD has become an essential part of many urban neighborhoods. It has helped address the shortage of housing by enabling the development of higher-density residential communities near transit stations. It has helped revitalize countless once-deteriorating or static urban enclaves near transit hubs by activating sidewalks near the developments. And it has spurred walking and transit use, enabling residents of TODs to reduce or eliminate automobile dependency.

A mind numbing amount of thought has gone into this on the part of the PPD, our bureaus, and the applicant. The transformation of the area from a less than penetrable megablock to an area with permeability represents significant urban planning progress, with potential for thousands of new housing units in the redeveloped space.

Urban Renaissance, the real estate development group that partly owns the mall, has a vision for what comes after demolition. The group's Lloyd Center Central City Master Plan wipes the venerable mall from the map in favor of development that will be familiar to most Portlanders: an intersecting street grid with green space and mixed-used architecture.

Heritage sites constitute complex spatial archives in which architecture, history, and collective memory converge. They encompass a wide spectrum of contexts-from archaeological remains, ancient and historic townscapes, UNESCO-listed landscapes, to early modern civic structures and industrial infrastructures. Yet these environments confront challenges: climate change, urban transformation, disaster, shifting social needs, and the gradual erosion of material fabric. Revitalization and restoration projects respond to these conditions by positioning architectural and spatial practice as an active mediator between preservation and the contemporary topologies.
