The project calls for 806 units of affordable housing and 70 market-rate units.

How to quickly sell my home without having to pay realtor fee?
If you want to sell your house quickly, then you should start looking for buyers immediately. This means you need to be open to any offer the buyer makes. Waiting too long can lead to losing out on buyers.
Is it better to hire a general contractor or a subcontractor?
Hiring a general contract is typically more costly than hiring subcontractors. General contractors have many employees so often charge their clients a high amount for labor costs. A subcontractor, on the other hand, only hires one worker, and charges less per hour.

How To
How to Renovate an Old House
First, you need to decide what kind of renovation you want. This could include everything from simply updating your kitchen appliances to completely transforming the whole house into something new.
Once you've decided on the type of renovation that you want to do, it is time to consider how much money your budget allows you to spend. It is possible that you don’t have the funds necessary to pay for the entire cost of the project. If this happens, you might need to make difficult decisions about which areas in your home you can afford to upgrade and which ones to keep the current budget.
Before you make the decision to carry out renovations, there are some things that you should do. The most important thing is to ensure that you get any permits required for the job. You might also need to check whether you need planning permission for certain types or work. You might have to apply for building permission if you want to add an extension to your home.
Before you begin to renovate your house, make sure to check with the local authority to confirm that they do not require additional permits. Make sure you check whether each section of the house needs to be given planning permission. You might also need to check with your insurance provider if you are undertaking major work such as installing a roof.
Next is choosing the right tools for the job. There are many choices available so make sure to do your research thoroughly. The most popular items used in renovation projects are paint, wallpaper paste and flooring.
You should consider the product's overall quality when shopping for these items. Cheap products tend to last only a short period of time, whereas good quality products will usually last longer and provide better value for money. When you are buying any item, ensure that you only purchase what is necessary for the job. You shouldn't just buy too much because you might end up wasting valuable resources and having to throw away large amounts of material. Instead, purchase only what you need.
Once you've decided on the materials you want to use, you must plan where you'll keep them while you are working on the property. Renting storage space might be necessary if you plan on renovating a large part of your home. This will allow you to store all your supplies until you have them ready to go. You might also consider asking family and friends to move your belongings around.
