this is what you say when you can't say that you have no restoration budget lmao

Excerpt from Dezeen article reads: "Any historic, mismatched updates to the pub, including patchwork stone repairs and 1980s roof lights, will be kept and "treated as part of the building's evolving narrative",
Foster + Partners said."

Is it because millennials think everything that happens to them is the first time it’s ever happened to anyone?

MLS Store doesn’t know that there’s no such thing as overtime in soccer.

Ad from MLS Store says: “THIS DEAL WON’T GO INTO OVERTIME 25% OFF GEAR ENDS AT MIDNIGHT ET”

Another category here is when a CM comes back from the pause and wants to fundamentally alter the core/shell construction, while insisting the changes are minor and highly localized.

Question maybe depends heavily on bldg type and how dynamic the program is, i.e. the retailer whose sales floor designs have a 10-15 month half-life, or the office user whose staffing needs evolve yearly or whatever.

…it is really shocking how there is almost no culture of walking to things here compared to a lot of MSP’s peer cities. Whether people here drive, bike, or take transit, almost everyone seems to consider it a major inconvenience to have to walk more than two blocks on either end.

I wish he could expound upon the wicker baskets for the Chianti bottles a bit more. That’s a critical piece of the development puzzle for me.

The outer box for the newly released ARCHIGRAM facsimile looks like a pizza box in this photo where I scribbled out “MAGAZINE” and wrote in PIZZA so it says “ARCHIGRAM THE PIZZA”

…walked the line, and fell over. In conclusion, housing posters, please STFU about fire prevention, code updates, etc. Go take it out on the core metrics of the MFH pro forma…or better yet, get on board w/ not-for-profit forms of housing development, you evil nerds.

…if they weren’t, it’s because the pro forma was marginal to begin w/, (NOT cuz of sprinklers or whatever). This happens when the RE guy (always the dudes) gets so hung up on making a deal that he plays himself w/ the numbers. This is 1 way that finished bldgs end up trading at a loss — they…

…I’ve had small projects tip over the line of needing fire sprinklers for 1 reason or another, which does represent a significant cost addition to a 6-digit project, but even then, there’s always a way to fit them in cuz the baseline metrics are strong enough to support it, and…

…Now, the real estate members of the dev team love to misunderstand the design and const members, and LOVE to point to what they think is an expensive deal killer, but it doesn’t mean that it’s true. You see, these folks are spazes & this is what they do due to paranoia over deals falling apart…

To wrap up NFPA Fire Prevention Week, I will point out that mostly nothing stops real estate development for any given bldg type EXCEPT the baseline pro forma metric(s) for that type. In 30yrs of architecting (last 9 in dev) I’ve never had fire prevention measures/equip be one of those metrics…
