Redgate Real Estate Advisors leads State Center redevelopment in Baltimore

A $3.5 billion vision plan has been approved to transform Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a modern, all-electric port and a vibrant mixed-use waterfront community. Backed by $418 million in city, state, and federal funding, the redevelopment will reshape 122 acres in Red Hook with a 60-acre port, 6,000 new homes (including 2,400 permanently affordable units), 28 acres of open space, and more than 275,000 square feet each of industrial and commercial space. The project is expected to generate $18 billion in economic impact, create 37,000 construction jobs, and deliver 2,000 permanent jobs across maritime, housing, commercial, and industrial sectors. Additional commitments include $200 million for New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Red Hook Houses, a $75 million fund for affordable housing in Community Board 6, and a new school and cultural spaces on site. Resiliency and mobility are central: the site will be raised to withstand sea-level rise, include a floodwall for a 100-year storm, and integrate expanded ferry services, bus priority lanes, and electric shuttles. The plan, shaped with input from over 4,200 community members, positions the waterfront as part of New York City’s “Harbor of the Future,” linking maritime innovation with housing and economic opportunity. The transformation of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal is being led by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), under the leadership of President and CEO Andrew Kimball, in close partnership with Mayor @Eric Adams’ administration and Governor Kathy Hochul. Oversight and community input are guided by the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force—chaired by U.S. Representative Dan Goldman and co-chaired by State Senator Andrew S. Gounardes and City Councilmember Alexa Aviles—which brings together elected officials, local residents, unions, and industry stakeholders to shape the project’s vision and ensure accountability. #Brooklyn #MarineTerminal #NYCEDC #AffordableHousing #Maritime #GreenEconomy #UrbanDevelopment #Waterfront #Jobs #Infrastructure

REPORT: The City of Edinburg, Mayor Ramiro Garza, members of the City Council, city staff, and County officials celebrated a significant milestone on October 10 with the groundbreaking ceremony for a new $6.2 million parking garage in the heart of downtown. Located at the corner of McIntyre Street and Closner Boulevard, the three-story parking structure will provide 268 needed parking spaces to alleviate congestion and support local businesses. The new Hidalgo County Courthouse, which opened earlier this year, has drawn large crowds to the area, exacerbating existing parking challenges. The parking garage, made possible in part by a $2 million contribution from the Edinburg Economic Development Corporation (EEDC), aims to ease this burden and transform downtown Edinburg into a more accessible and pedestrian-friendly hub. The groundbreaking event drew community members, local leaders, and business owners, all eager to see the project come to fruition. The project is expected to foster economic growth, support local businesses, and meet the needs of Edinburg’s vibrant community. Residents can stay informed about the project’s progress through the city’s official channels. Construction is set to begin in 30 days, with a completion date of November 2026, weather permitting. #Texas #RGV #RioGrandeValley #SouthTexas #HidalgoCounty #McAllenTX #PharrTX #EdinburgTX #HidalgoTX #MissionTX #CameronCounty #BrownsvilleTX #HarlingenTX #SPI #SouthPadreIsland Edinburg Economic Development Corporation (EEDC) Edinburg Chamber of Commerce City Of Edinburg Ramiro Garza Jr., Raudel Garza Hidalgo County, Texas

Surrey is on track to be B.C.’s next million-person city—and the engine of Metro Vancouver’s future. At today’s ULI event, Mayor Brenda Locke and City Manager Robert Costanzo shared how Surrey is delivering growth with vision: - 250,000+ new residents in 20 years and 24,000+ businesses - 6,300 homes approved last year, 53% ahead of provincial housing targets - A $701M capital plan, the Surrey–Langley SkyTrain, and the 72 Ave Extension—B.C.’s largest municipal road project - New anchors like a 10,000-seat arena and SFU’s School of Medicine Most impressive is Surrey’s cultural shift toward facilitation, not regulation—creating real partnerships with those building the city. As our clients prepare to develop land in Surrey with our guidance, we’re excited to collaborate with this forward-looking municipality to deliver projects that create homes, jobs, and lasting community value. Thank you ULI British Columbia for convening this important conversation. #SurreyBC #CityBuilding #Housing #Infrastructure #EconomicDevelopment #ULI #purposedrivendevelopment Annelise van der Veen Tellison Glover

Transforming public housing sites into vibrant mixed-use, mixed-income communities is not just development — it’s stewardship. When residents, neighborhood associations, and city leaders all have a hand in shaping design, we create more than housing stock: we create ecosystems of opportunity. The future of urban redevelopment isn’t about building units; it’s about aligning affordability, accessibility, and long-term community vitality with the economic engines of a city. Projects succeed when they reflect the dignity, aspirations, and daily realities of the people who will call them home. Subscribe on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eDDRzUgC

NBEDC FEATURE STORY: For nearly a decade, the City of New Bedford’s Blue Lane has redefined the way residents experience their city. What began as an ambitious idea—to create a continuous system of recreational pathways highlighting the city’s extraordinary waterfront assets—has grown into a hallmark of resilience, community, vision, and the unlocking of significant economic benefits. Now, at long last, the most elusive piece of the Blue Lane is getting underway: the Riverwalk. Read more at the link. https://lnkd.in/eta2srZS

After years of community-driven planning, Fort Worth's Evans Avenue is finally poised for a major redesign. Once the heart of a thriving Black business district, the corridor suffered from decades of disinvestment, leaving gaps in food access, healthcare, and safe public space. Today, the 76104 ZIP code has Texas' lowest life expectancy.   Working alongside BRAVE/R Together, community ambassadors, and City leaders, SWA helped guide the development of the Evans Avenue Urban Design & Streetscape Plan, approved this summer by City Council. Focusing on equitable growth and a more pedestrian-friendly public realm, the plan proposes a network of shaded streetscapes and green infrastructure—mitigating heat and flooding while creating new space for small business, cultural institutions, and public gathering. Stay tuned for updates to come.
