$20M Student Housing Complex Opens at SDSUREAL ESTATE: StateSide Built on Schedule Despite ChallengesBY RAY HUARDA $20-million student housing project, serving San Diego State University, opened as scheduled in September, overcoming what the builders said were nearly unprecedented challenges.“We’re talking historic levels of rainfall, almost 60% above our annual average and nearly double what some communities receive in a normal year,” said Rudy Medina, founding partner ofNext Space Development, based on Shelter Island.Next Space partnered with Pacific Residential in building StateSide, which is managed by Campus Life & Style.The project, called StateSide for its proximity to SDSU at 6151 Montezuma Road, finished on time and on budget while some similar projects were delayed, Medina said.“It was really difficult. We had to bring in heaters to put drywall up, to dry paint out, to help dry the stucco. It was quite an effort. We were working seven days a week,” Medina said. “The last month was very, very challenging. We delivered it during Hurricane Hilary.”Designed by Joseph Wong Design Associates, the five-story complex has 130 beds in 27 apartments averaging about 1,100 square feet – 22 four-bedroom apartments, three three-bedroom apartments, and two two-bedroom apartments. Rent is charged by the bed rather than by the apartment.“We set out to make a modern, urban design that would transform the architecture of San Diego State,” said Keith Henderson of Pacific Residential. “When we designed StateSide, we wanted something different, something fresh.”Instead of the mission-style design of the on-campus buildings, StateSide uses corrugated steel in red and black with accents of gray, following the school colors of SDSU, Henderson said.https://lnkd.in/gpYK5haK#housing #studenthousing #construction #commercialrealestate #apartments #design #sdsu

Fulfilling a London-wide need for student-housing, we are delighted to announce that the London Borough of Southwark has approved Joseph Homes plans for amixed tenure residential scheme. Designed by tp bennett and working closely with planning consultant Rolfe Judd Planning, the scheme at Sylvan Grove will deliver a mix of Purpose-Built Student Accommodation #PBSA and affordable housing across two adjoined buildings along with employment space and a new square.The 34-storey tower comprises 688 student bedrooms as a mix of studio apartments and clusters of 3–8 bedroom apartments. Prioritising building a sense of community within the building, two amenity floors incorporate a top-floor lounge and external terrace, study space, communal kitchen and dining, and a gym. The adjoining 7-storey building comprises 23 family housing units of 3 and 4 bedrooms, all of which will be delivered as affordable housing at social rent levels. Designed for modern living, the homes are spacious all with a dual aspect outlook. Residents will have access to the courtyard garden at ground level as well as roof top terrace amenity and children play space.There are a range of benefits associated with the energy strategy which will make the whole building possibly one of the most efficient buildings in the Borough with carbon savings of 41% over Part L 2021 through the adoption of Passivhaus principles throughout the design process.Nenad Manasijevic, Principal Director at tp bennett, said: "We are pleased that our proposals for Sylvan Grove will be able to provide high-quality student homes in south London. This is a typology that has been recently overlooked but is in high demand. The mixed-use nature of the scheme will allow residents to join together and take ownership of their living quarters. Providing communal and outdoor space is an essential part of this, fostering a sense of community and creating a dynamic environment that goes beyond traditional student housing norms."Read the Estates Gazette article for more informationhttps://lnkd.in/exx7Py6k#studentaccommodation #residentialarchitecture

Excellent article from "across the pond" about universal-designed homes. I especially appreciated the following comment in the article: The benefits to consumers are obvious, but the benefits to government perhaps less so. Consumers will eventually have homes that are suited across the lifespan that cater for most life events. Governments stand to save on unnecessary extended hospital stays, and early entry to aged care. They will also save money on government funded home modifications.

Next week Queensland will begin building homes to the new Livable Housing Design Standard. This is despite the housing industry intensely lobbying against the new standard. The industry can chalk up one success - they have managed to delay the implementation for a year and up to two years in some states. And NSW is still deciding if it is a good idea. The industry has built up a raft of myths to help stop these essential tweaks from happening. See link for the Queensland Government media release, a link to the Livable Housing Design Handbook, and my list of the many myths that industry espouses as reasons for not embracing a standard that will improve the lives of many Australians. They are just that - myths.

Hotel-to-student housing conversions have been supporting the increasing demand for student housing units in high-cost markets such as New York City or San Francisco. A growing number of underutilized properties are getting a new life asvibrant communities, but the conversion process comes with distinct challenges—from keeping original structures to repurposing amenities—that require meticulous planning.One recent example is FOUND Study Turtle Bay in New York City. Students now call a former Marriott Hotel home after @BDB Construction Enterprise turned the historic, 34-story landmark at 525 Lexington Ave. into a 1,355-bed student housing community.Multi-Housing Newsasked Tallal Bhutta, the CEO of the company and an experienced construction engineer to expand on the math behind successful conversion projects.The interview follows here: https://lnkd.in/eBeTAdkp#studenthousing #realestate #realestateconversion #multihousing https://lnkd.in/eBeTAdkp

As an advocate for Accessibility I am asked my opinion on the New Livable Housing Design Standard due to roll out in Queensland. It makes complete sense to me for a number of reasons most of which Jane Bringolf explains in her myth dispelling article. Please feel free to share this with the skeptics….#Accessibility #AcessibilityAdvocate #AccessNeeds #QLD

If we want more housing built, we need to change the rules that are standing in the way.In 2010, Toronto City Council approved new Mid-Rise Design Guidelines, with the promise this would help get much more of this type of housing built.But since 2010, only 136 mid-rise buildings have been built across the entire City of Toronto. That’s an average of 11 mid-rise buildings each year, in a city that regularly makes headlines for having more cranes in the sky than all other North American cities combined. Why is that? There are many rules and guidelines we can point to, but right now I want to focus on angular planes. Those buildings in Toronto that look like wedding cakes, or Mayan pyramids? That’s because of our angular plane rules that require buildings to slice off new units of housing at each additional storey. It reduces affordability, sustainability and housing opportunities in our communities.Today, we finally have an opportunity to fix it. Because providing homes to those who need them is more important than a couple hours of shadow on a public sidewalk in the dead of winter. Because creating building envelopes that make mass timber and other sustainability building methodologies possible is more important than allowing existing neighbours to pretend the city isn’t growing. To all the housing advocates out there, I hope you’ll take the time to add your voice to those calling for change by signing up for one of two upcoming public consultations on September 20th.
