Houston-based Hines

The Hines-led team is planning over 2,000 apartments, town houses and more than 200,000 square feet of retail and restaurants. It is unclear what Hines has agreed to pay for the long-term lease of the land. Deputy Mayor Victor Hoskins said only that it "was the best economic deal for the city" of the bids submitted, and it had "the least subsidy." although he declined to discuss specifics. Hines also is putting the finishing touches on the $700 million first phase of a giant mixed-use project in Washington's downtown named CityCenterDC. Walter Reed closed in 2011, when it consolidated with other military facilities el...

Aging China Draws Bets on Senior Housing

China has long doted on its elders. Now they are getting attention from another group: foreign investors.

Developers Brace for End of Montreal's Condo Boom

With signs that Montreal's more than decadelong condominium boom could be fading, some local developers are repositioning or even pulling projects due to waning demand. In the downtown core, quarterly presales of new condos have averaged nine units per project this year, according to Altus Group Ltd. AIF.T 0.00% , a real-estate consultancy. That is well below the pace of such sales in both 2012 and 2011, when the average was 16 units. Meanwhile, only 10 new condo projects were announced in Canada's second-largest city in the first half of 2013, compared with 14 such projects in the first half of 2012. At the current pace, Montreal isn't likely to match the 25 project launches announced last year, and could fall below the 2011 total of 14 projects, Altus Group says. Units in Samcon's redesigned condo project will be about 10% smaller Samcon Developers have noticed. "There's starting to be a lot of uncertainty in the marketplace," said Sam Scalia, chief...

Montreal: Where the Churches Convert

Inside the former Saint-Jude Church in Montreal, personal trainers mill about where priests once did and hot-stone massages have replaced baptisms. In this city, a former Roman Catholic stronghold where Mark Twain once said you couldn't throw a brick without breaking a church window, questions about what to do with all those churches have lingered for years. Le Saint-Jude spa is one answer. The health club and spa opened two months ago in the city's trendy Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood, after three years of planning and a year of construction. To turn the former church into a facility that caters to the body instead of the soul, the builders erected a two-story steel structure within the church, creating a modern enclosure within a building more than a century old. The renovation, which cost 2.65 million Canadian dollars ($2.53 million), won a design excellence award in 2012 from Canadian Architect magazine. While other areas in North America embraced separation of church...

Canadian Investor Bets on a Montreal Revival

For more than two decades, Montreal was one of the sleepiest office markets in Canada, seeing no new private development as cities such as Toronto and energy-rich Calgary added millions of square feet of new space. Now, as Canadian investors step up real-estate investment throughout the world, a company owned by one of Canada's largest pension funds is looking to shake things up. Cadillac Fairview Corp., a unit of Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, wants to expand the city's business center to the south with a planned 1.9 billion Canadian dollars ($1.82 billion) development next to the Bell Centre, where the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens play. The company earlier this year broke ground on the first building on the 9.2 acre site, named the Deloitte Tower after the professional-services firm that it lured from Montreal's traditional downtown. Owners of office buildings in Montreal's core dismiss the competitive threat, citing the lack of retail and t...
