December is when publications like to forecast upcoming trends for the new year. Mark Nash, author of a number of books on real estate, has come up with some good ones, based on a survey of more than 900 industry professionals. Here's some of the features homeowners should be looking to put in their dwellings in 2007: Upscale garages. "It's no longer the out-of-sight-out-of-mind dumping ground. Today's garage owners want them decked out with cabinet and storage systems, mini-refrigerators, insulation, heating and air conditioning and durable but residential-looking flooring." Man caves and Mom caves. "Personal dedicated space for one person in a household where they can go and work on projects or chill without being disturbed." Two home offices.
Commercial and industrial developer Grady Pridgen is bidding to green his image with a proposal to build 60 environmentally efficient, affordable townhomes in Midtown. "We intend to be the leader in affordable housing in the Tampa Bay area," said Pridgen, who has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County to compete for the chance to build on 3 acres behind the Johnnie Ruth Clarke Health Center on 22nd Street S. Two other bidders have submitted proposals to build affordable units on the city's property. Unlike Pridgen, the other bidders, St. Petersburg Neighborhood Housing Services and PSA Constructors of Orlando, suggest building modular townhomes, though these are also touted as energy efficient. The city will choose among the three in the coming weeks.
