You may have heard of an impending 1.1 million-square-foot office and retail complex at 1000 and 1001 Sixth Avenue S called 'Stadium East' but you need to unlearn that name real quick. 'Stadium East' is no longer the given name of this project,...

Some homes are built. This houseboat was fabricated, by Union Bay Fabricators; so, expect a bit more of a metal ship than a wooden shed. Get aboard most boats and realize that furniture is built-in. That way it doesn't move around. This 2...

You know how we've been calling the Bullitt Center the "world's greenest commercial building" since it opened in 2013? Turns out, that label jumped the gun, officially-speaking. Don't get angry, though, it's officially-official now. Certification...
