This double play was a once-in-a-generation situation 😲

From experience working in multi-family projects, we have gathered 7 rules of thumb for housing that help us work very quickly to assess project feasibility:

1) 12' bays. This magical dimension accommodates frontage for standard living rooms & bedrooms. It is also structurally feasible to span with wood or concrete. 1-beds require two bays, 2-beds require 3, etc.

2) 12'5" is the length req. for an accessible linear kitchen with standard appliances. While shopping for smaller appliances is always an option, it is not the best place to start from a cost & schedule perspective. Small appliances are often more difficult & expensive to procure.

3) 11' of uninterrupted living-room wall. This will help ensure the space is 'furnishable'.

4) 9' slab to slab (except at ground floor & not for luxury buildings). This is typically sufficient to provide 8' spaces w/ some soffit lines. This is also related to overall building eight (see #5 below).

5) 18' at ground floor. Whenever possible, this is the dimension that results in a 14-15' lobby/entry or retail area at the ground floor. Structure + MEP transfers that often occur at the ground floor take up a lot more space than people realize.

6) Related to 4&5 -- keep the building below 75' (unless a high-rise is the goal). In most jurisdictions, 75' tall buildings have different MEP & fire protection requirements. Keeping the height below 75' substantially decreases the cost of construction.

7) 4 floors. If you're looking at type V construction, this is the way. 4 floors will allow you to stay away from type 3B, which requires more expensive construction materials & systems.

Obviously, each project brings nuance-- that's when we rely on our experience to go beyond the rules & find solutions that meet the product & proforma requirements.

Late into design is not the time to find out that a building doesn't work as expected & can't meet proforma.

Medical staff said they were overwhelmed. Massive fail to not have rescheduled earlier. You put potential prime time tv exposure over your fans health..

[KC Current @thekccurrent]

Kickoff has been postponed until 6:28PM. The match will be broadcast on https://t.co/qKiSMxH1Tg.

Fans with tickets to the match will be permitted re-entry.

[Chris Sally @KCchristopher]

Completely inexcusable. Middle of August weather in KC is always going to be like this. Provide free water bottles to the fans.

[KC Current @thekccurrent]

The KC Current match today against the Orlando Pride, scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. CT, has been delayed due to weather conditions.

For updates, continue to follow KC Current and CPKC Stadium social media platforms. We will provide further updates as they become available.

The Dallas City Council unanimously approved an update to the city’s residential development ordinance, allowing buildings with up to eight dwelling units to be built under the simpler, less costly residential code.

Excessive parking isn't just ugly. It represents municipal financial mismanagement.

Each unused parking space means less tax revenue a city receives. Compared to housing or offices, parking creates almost no value for a city.

Costco is building apartments above its stores to address the affordable housing crisis, starting early this year.

Walking downstairs and getting a $1.50 hot dog gives new meaning to “affordable walkability.”

It includes free membership, a rooftop pool, fitness area, gardens/ courtyards, and a community space.

Los Angeles is the first residential complex with 800 apartments and a built-in store.

Would you live in Costco?
