Construction Watch: New Library Making Progress in North Beach

Thursday, June 6, 2013, by Michael Conrad

Looking like a giant erector set, the new North Beach Branch Library is moving right along after surviving multiple attempts to thwart construction. The 2-level, 8,500 sq. ft. building, 60 percent larger than the current one, will feature plenty of glass to allow an abundance of natural light. Located on a triangular lot at the corner of Columbus and Lombard streets, the new library will replace the small, aging library next door when completed. The old library, as well as the adjacent block of Mason Street, will be removed, allowing for expansion of the nearby Joe DiMaggio Playground.

Construction Watch : Rincon Hill Dog Park Moving Right Along

Wednesday, June 1, 2011, by Sally Kuchar In December of 2010 Caltrans awarded a $2,600,000 highway landscape project, part of which includes a dog park for Rincon Hill residents. The project broke ground in February, and LiveSOMA stopped by the site last week to check out the progress. And progress it has! The park, which is located on the corner of Bryant and Beale streets, had "no fewer than 10 workers pouring concrete, welding and otherwise assembling what appears to be the foundation of the park's entryway, and there are all sorts of wooden beams popping out of the ground," LiveSOMA reports. Peep the gallery above for action shots.

Dubai Real Estate Construction Sector Showing Positive Signs

Some years back Dubai real estate market got badly hit by great slump and got crashed like a deck of cards. Now after considerable period of time Dubai property market is regaining its lost status. Although, currently Dubai is not enjoying the same high status as it was some years back but as far as construction sector is considered, it is now on the right path of restoration. Authentic data shows that in the year 2010 approximately 3500 buildings were completed in the first 9 months worth more than DH 25 billion.

Recent reviews state that the construction sector is currently heading towards the crossroads of success. Banks and financial institutions will also capitalize the growth out of necessity. The overall growth of construction of buildings in 2010 is 24 percent more then the previous year. The growth is expected to further boost due to Qatar's winning bid to host FIFA World Cup 2022. Qatar government has showed its interests to invest more than 57 billion dollars on its infrastructure. This will directly impact the construction companies of Dubai and Abu Dhabi real estate sector as they will get major share of projects.

The growth of construction sector can also be estimated by looking at the record breaking buildings of Dubai. In the fourth quarter of 2011 world's tallest residential building will be completed. The princess tower located at Dubai Marina is 107 storey high and will break the record of world's tallest residential building. These types of buildings are the avid proof of the conditions of construction companies located in Dubai. When the slump hit, Dubai real estate market was on its peak and the major reason of slump was oversupply of completed projects. The supply was increased and the demand decreased. Now as the market is stabilizing itself, the demand is also started to increase in a steady manner. This will ultimately push the construction companies to start the construction works again.

Besides all this, government of Dubai is also encouraging the construction companies by introducing different rules and laws to protect Dubai property market in future. According to reports government has funded one fifth of total value of all completed projects in the year 2010. Different property experts are of the view that the coming years will prove to be the pre-booming years of construction sector as well as of Dubai property market. The whole discussion above shows some positive signs about the construction sector of Dubai and it all tells that Dubai still hold the potential to gain its lost regime.

New Residential Construction Report: December 2010

Today’s New Residential Construction Report showed a notable gain for single family permits and a notable decline for single family starts which, considering the truly depressed level of new home construction activity, appears to suggest that housing is continuing to remain historically weak.

Single family housing permits, the most leading of indicators, increased 5.5% on a month-to-month basis to 440K single family units (SAAR) but declined a notable 14.9% below the level seen in December 2009 and an astonishing 75.53% below the peak in September 2005.

Single family housing starts declined 9.0% to 417K (SAAR) units dropping 14.2% below the level seen in December 2009 and a whopping 77.13% below the peak set in early 2006.

With the substantial headwinds of rising unemployment, epic levels of foreclosure and delinquency, mounting bankruptcies, contracting consumer credit, and falling real wages, an overhang of inventory and still falling home prices, the environment for “organic” home sales remains weak and likely very fragile.
