Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

SPRINGFIELD'S first apartment building will soon be added to the region's skyline, with construction set to begin later this year.

The $200 million Park Avenue project will see 600 apartments built on a 1.8 hectare site on Sinnathamby Bld, Springfield Central, creating a new lifestyle option for residents wishing to call Ipswich home.

There are mid-level towers proposed ranging between six to seven levels, which will provide one and two bedroom apartments with views over Robelle Domain.

During the first stage 66 apartments will be built.

They will be conveniently located near amenities such as Robelle Lagoon, Orion Springfield Central, University of Southern Queensland, GE state headquarters and the brand new Mater Private Hospital Springfield, providing a lifestyle built around lifestyle and entertainment.

Park Avenue will also accommodate its own bustling retail precinct with an enviable mix of alfresco and dining options right on your doorstep.

The project is being convened with Springfield Land Corporation and Folkestone Limited.

Springfield Land Corporation managing director Raynuha Sinnathamby said there was a real buzz surrounding the apartment building.

"Initial interest has been very good via the website with over 300 requests for more information," she said.

"With our billboards and online promotions, we seem to be getting up to 40 enquiries a day.

High life in Springfield with Park Avenue project

Plans for a 27-unit student apartment building on College Avenue in Greensburg moved forward Tuesday with a recommendation from the city Historic and Architectural Review Board.

Greensburg Property Partners LLC presented plans to the board for the second time, after tweaking the proposal's designs in response to criticisms raised last month.

The porches in front of the three-story brick building will be larger and have a more classical look. The windows will be more consistent and symmetrical. The bricks will be all red, instead of the red and tan scheme originally proposed.

It is much more comprehensive, and I'm grateful for that, said HARB member Barbara Jones.

Board President Steve Gifford abstained from the vote. He is the director of the Greensburg Community Development Center, which sold some property to the developers for this project.

The rest of the board members agreed unanimously to recommend the building to city council.

If the project receives approval in March, construction will begin immediately. The developers are aiming for completion by Aug. 1, in order to house Seton Hill students in the 2015-2016 school year.

Nate Morgan of Monroeville and Deanna Seruga of Harrison City own Greensburg Property Partners and will oversee construction.

Most of the building will be constructed modularly off-site, then rapidly assembled. Once all the pieces are on the property, the building will be up in only three or four days, Morgan said.

The project would demolish five vacant houses, four on College Avenue and one on Brown Avenue, all built sometime in the 1910s or 1920s.

Student apartment plan clears Greensburg hurdle

Washington U.S. homebuilders slowed the pace of construction in January, breaking ground on fewer single-familyhousesahead of the spring buying season.

Housingstartsslipped 2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.07 million last month, down from 1.09 million in December, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.

Leading that decline was a sharp 6.7 percent monthly drop instartsfor single-familyhouses. Still, a healing economy has caused building activity to move at a faster clip, with single-familystartsclimbing 18.7 percent over the past 12 months.

Despite the monthly decline, the broader economy should help boost home sales and apartment construction this year.

"We have strong job growth, strong consumer confidence, still low borrowing costs," said Jennifer Lee, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

In the past three months alone, the economy has gained more than a million new paychecks. Employers are adding workers at an annual clip of 2.3 percent, the fastest rate in the more than five-year recovery from the Great Recession.

The hiring has also fueled expectations that more millennials will sign leases on apartments. Builders have prepared for the additional demand, with apartment construction surging 12.1 percent in January and 24.5 percent over the past 12 months.

The improving labor market is expected to trigger greater demand to buy homes, boosting prices and then causing builders to further ramp up construction.

Metro areas with the fastest job growth are experiencing larger increases in home prices, Jed Kolko, chief economist at the real estate firm Trulia, said in a report last week.

"A growing economy fuelshousingdemand," Kolko said. Among the 10 metro areas with the biggest year-over-year price increases, nine had at least 2 percent job growth, he noted.

Granite has long been a popular countertop material for homeowners looking to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal in their kitchens.

But granite is no small investment, and homeowners looking to refurbish their kitchens should know there are a multitude of countertop materials available to those working on a budget, or those who simply want to give their kitchens a different look.

Solid wood: Wood countertops create a warm, homey interior. Butcher-block counters are less expensive than granite and do not necessarily need to be ordered from a specialty retailer.

But wood can stain and dent and can even burn when hot kitchenware is placed atop it. Regular application of oil can help homeowners maintain the appearance of their wood counters for years to come.

Marble: Marble tends to be less expensive than granite without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. However, marble is softer and more porous than granite, so it can stain and be etched.

Diligence in wiping away spills, routine sealing and a gentle touch is necessary for those who choose marble countertops.

Soapstone: This is a natural stone composed mainly of mineral talc that gives the stone its smooth feel. Soapstone ranges from black to gray but can sometimes have a green shade to it. Other materials in the stone can produce veining.

Although softer than granite, soapstone is still high-density and will hold up well. It's impervious to stains and bacteria, and exposure to chemicals will not damage it.

Quartz: Quartz is a manufactured product made of stone aggregate and

polymers compressed under high pressure. It has the look of natural stone but requires less work to maintain. Quartz has consistent colours and patterns, and is a nonporous material, so it will not need routine sealing and resealing.
