New Hackensack NJ building would include 350 units, retail space - NorthJersey.com
The new one-bed and two-bed apartment complex and retail space will be renovated over the summer. The owners are targeting a move-in date for new tenants of December 2024 or early 2025.
Plans for the revamped building, which will be called The Nest, were approved by the City of Yellowknife in summer 2022. The Nest is owned by Borealis Development, which reportedly bought the building for $1.4 million.
Borealis Development said it needed to get permitting and financing in place before construction could begin a process that was delayed in part by last summers wildfire evacuation.
Were very excited, said Afzal Suri, one of the owners of Borealis Development.

Hopefully this will revitalize the downtown core. I think it meets all the criteria that the city has set for the revitalization of the downtown core, and were hoping well encourage other developers to do the same.
It was an existing building that was being under-utilized, and I think it can now finally live to its full potential.
Suri said the building has been gutted on the inside, so Borealis can start afresh with new electrical, plumbing and windows.
He noted the building unfortunately had an issue with the facade part of the siding fell off the 10-storey building in 2018 so that will also be redone.

Once complete, there will be 36 one-bedroom units and 36 two-bedroom apartments. The layouts on each floor will be the same.
All the units are going to be rentals. There will be some put aside for affordable units, said Suri.
Applications to rent the units wont become available until an opening date for the building is in sight, but Suri said Borealis is already looking for commercial tenants to fill two rental units on the ground floor so Borealis can develop those spaces to meet their needs.
When shoppers enter the building, theyll be able to turn left or right to enter a store. Residents can continue on to their apartments.
The tenants wouldnt be disturbed with the retail activity thats going on, and itll be beneficial for the retail units because theres non-stop foot traffic thats walking right in front of their front door, Suri said.

Construction begins on apartments, retail space in Bellanca building - Cabin Radio
UPDATE: The article was updated to reflect that the proposed financing was not approved after a last-minute deferral by the Committee on Finance.
$25 million in multi-family housing revenue bond financing has been proposed for The Ave. Chosen as the winner of the Chicago Ave Invest South/West RFP site back at the end of 2021, The Ave will occupy the property at 3601 W. Chicago between N. Central Park Ave and N. Monticello Ave, where it will replace the current Neighborhood Housing Services office and a one-story commercial building currently owned by the city.
The Ave at 3601 W. ChicagoGensler and Nia Architects
Planned by KMW Communities, POAH and CEC, the four-story project will include 52 affordable apartments, 2,900 square feet of space for Neighborhood Housing Services, an innovation center measuring 2,900 square feet, and 1,800 square feet of available retail space. Parking for 32 cars will be included on the ground floor.

With Gensler and Nia Architects working on the project, the design began with the intent to avoid a simple bar building. The current scheme looks to create a longer building with multiple components. The massing holds the corners at each intersection, carves the middle of the street frontage, and draws the eye into the center plaza space.

The portion along N. Central Park Ave is the tallest portion, creating a stronger presence on one corner. The longer portion of the building is shorter and stretches towards N. Monticello Ave. Dubbed The Stoop, the public space at the center will be the feature space of the project. With Site Design Group on the project, the plaza will be designed as a multi-use space that will be overlooked by a large screen wall that will house local artwork.

Since being selected as the winner of the RFP, the design has changed due to program changes and affordability measures. The top floor of the taller volume was removed, and the NHS office space was moved from two floors of space in the taller volume over to the ground floor of the shorter volume. New residential units were added to the second floor of the taller volume. Rising 54 feet, removing the fifth floor will allow for a less expensive construction method that will make the project more affordable.

The building will be clad in a gridded brick facade with wood veneer accent panels and aluminum windows. At the ground floor, angled walls will also be clad in brick. Second floor residential units will have balconies that overlook the street and plaza.
With the funding proposal submitted to the City, the Committee on Finance and City Council will look to vote on it next month. The developers are also awaiting apending zoning change that was filed back in February.

Construction can now begin on a project to transform the former First Congregational Church on North Main Street into housing after new plans, updated to reflect an agreement between developers and the neighboring Greater Islamic Society of Concord, got their final city sign-off last week.
Were looking forward to getting underway after a bumpy start, developer Ben Kelley said.
The Islamic Society sued the City of Concord last fall, arguing that its concerns about parking availability it had long used parking spaces on the church property had been unfairly sidelined during the approval process by the Zoning Board. Kelley and developing partner Jonathan Chorlian made an agreement with the Islamic Society and its president Ali Sekou, also a city councilor, to give it some land between their two properties that includes a driveway where parking spaces will be added.
As part of the agreement, the Islamic Society agreed to drop its lawsuit against the city.
The new arrangement got a green light from the Zoning Board in February and another from the Planning Board last week. Kelley and Chorlian can now start construction in earnest on their plans to put 30 one- and two-bedroom apartments in the 1937 church, adding a boost of new housing downtown. Some demolition work began last week, with substantial construction work set to begin within a month and wrap up by spring of next year, Kelley said.
City council has approved seven years of property tax relief for the development, totaling an estimated $393,000, under a state law incentivizing the rehabilitation of historic buildings towards the public benefit. It must be substantially complete by the end of March 2025 to receive it, under terms extended by the council this month.

Snow was in the air and an Arctic breeze swirled over Belushya Guba as Bishop Iakov blessed the plate that will serve as foundation stone for a new local church. On site was an assembly of military men in uniform and local civilians. A video shared by the 12th Directorate shows the bishop leading a ceremony and spraying so-calledsacred water over the attendees.
The square in the center of the small military town will be site for a new churchwith space for at least 150 people. Construction will soon start and progress quickly a local military representative saysin a video. Photos show piles of timber ready for shipment from the mainland to the remote archipelago.
Bishop Iakov was brought to the archipelago with a special flight organized by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The prelate, known as the Russian Orthodox Church special envoy on Arctic affairs, had with him an icon of Serfim Sarovsky, the 18th Century saint that is considered the official protector of the 12th Main Directorate.
The new church will carry the saints name, and the icon will decorate its walls.
Iakov is reportedly himself the initiator of the construction projects at Novaya Zemlya.
Ahead of Patriach Kirills visit to the archipelago in 2018, Bishop Iakov presented the idea to the church leader, state news agency TASS reported. During the visit, the Patriarch announced the plans.
A new and bigger church building is to be erected on the site of an existing chapel, which in turn is to be dismantled and moved to the nearby settlement of Rogachevo. In addition, a new chapel is to be built in Severny, the military town located in the Matochin Strait.
Judging from statements made by the Patriarch, many young clergymen might soon be sent to Novaya Zemlya for training and education. It is a place well suited for testing of their spiritual strength, Kirilltold TASS.
It is especially for those that want to make a church career, for candidates and archbishops, he explained.
He also proposed the development of a special program on church service in the Arctic.
Photos from the visit show Patriarch Kirill being guided around in Belushya Guba by military leaders, among them Aleksandr Tsinitsyn, head of the local military base.
Novaya Zemlya is strictly closed military area and test site for nuclear weapons. In the period between the mid-1950s and 1990, a total of 132 nuclear weapon tests were carried out at the archipelago, among them the 50 Mt Tsar Bomba.
The nuclear testing was organized by the 12th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. Subcritical experiments continue until this day.
Bishop Iakov is instrumental in many of the Russian Orthodox Church initiatives currently unfolding across the Arctic. The prelate was present when a large Orthodox cross in 2023 was erected in Franz Josef Land.
He was also a key person behind the disputed erection of a cross in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. Together with representatives of Russian state company Trust Arktikugol, Iakov placed the 7-meter high religious monument on the hillside of Pyramiden, the abandoned coal mining town.
The Governor of Svalbard knew nothing about the new cross ahead of its erection. In an interview with the Barents Observer, Governor Lars Fause says the illegitimate action will have a consequence.
The Environmental Protection Department will follow up, Fause said in acomment.
The efforts to erect Orthodox crosses across the Arctic is part of a church project supported by Patriarch Kirill.
Since 2012, the Russian Orthodox has in cooperation with the Russian Armed Forces and the Geographical Society built churches, erected crosses and sanctified sites across major parts of the Arctic.
