New subdivision would add mix of almost 180 housing units in Howard
A nearly 180-unit mixed-use subdivision proposed in the village Howard will advance for further review and public comment.
Meacham Realty & Development under the subsidiary DML Properties LLC applied for a preliminary Planned Development District designation to develop the Red Leaf subdivision on a 37-acre property in the 4100 block of Shawano Avenue.
The village's Plan Commission on June 16 unanimously approved the request, which still faces further review. More than 20 people attended the commission's meeting, but the public was not provided an opportunity to comment.
The planned development district approval would enable DML Properties to create a mix of housing types on the site that otherwise would require a mix of zoning designations for the property. The planned development would allow the construction of single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses and apartments in the subdivision.
The Red Leaf subdivision's property address is 4183 Shawano Ave.
The 37.3-acre property is located west of Shawano Avenue and north of Milltown Road. It wraps around Howard Fire Department Station No. 2, 4165 Shawano Ave.
Plans submitted to the village call for 179 total units, nearly half of which would single-family home lots of varying widths. Here's the proposed residential mix:
Five 55-foot-wide single-family lots
20 60-foot-wide single-family lots
36 70-foot-wide single-family lots
13 80-foot-wide single-family lots
Nine 90- to 120-foot-wide single-family lots
Four duplexes
32 townhouses
60 apartments on one lot along Milltown Road
According to Meacham Realty team members and Steve Bieda, a consultant with Vierbicher developing plans for the Red Leaf subdivision, the mix of housing types and lot sizes was necessary to develop the site for several reasons.
The three, 20-unit apartment buildings along Milltown Road would provide a buffer from traffic on Milltown and the Wisconsin Public Service Corp. substation across the street.
The mix of 55-foot to 120-foot lot sizes and mix of housing types helps spread utility and road construction costs across more units, bringing the per-lot infrastructure costs down.
The smaller lot sizes will enable construction of smaller homes that are both in demand with consumers and can be sold at lower prices.
The group revised the prior plans, which the village rejected, to align with the village's recent efforts to permit a range of single-family lot sizes to increase density in new developments.
In its submission to the village, Meacham Realty indicated the combination of housing types was crucial to develop a mixed-use neighborhood "that caters to all stages of life from apartments and townhomes to smaller and standard-sized lots."
Plan Commission members asked for more information on whether the plans included green space (it doesn't), how stormwater would be managed (off-site across Shawano Avenue), the inclusion of the apartment buildings in the plan, and how water and sewer service would reach the site (off Shawano Avenue).
While members of the public could not address the Plan Commission, a couple of residents indicated general concerns with the proposal include the inclusion of apartments, road conditions, traffic and the pace of development in the village.
The developers plan to construct 1,500- to 2,000-square-foot homes with two- or three-stall garages included. An additional garage stall could be added to some lots.
The prices for the new single-family homes were estimated at an average of $450,000 while the townhouses were expected to sell for $385,000 to $425,000 each.
The developers' calculations estimate the single-family, townhouse and apartment lots combined could generate $63.9 million in new assessed value for the village.
The Plan Commission's initial approval will be followed by three more reviews before village committees.
The Howard Village Board will take up the Plan Commission's recommendation, potentially as soon as its next meeting on June 23.
After the subdivision plans are finalized, the planned development district application would be reviewed again by both the Plan Commission and Village Board.

Australian Developers Launch $6 Billion Smart City in Lombok
Two visionary Australian developers, Jamie McIntyre, founder of Australian National Review and long-time Lombok, June 23, 2025 -- Two visionary Australian developers, Jamie McIntyre, founder of Australian National Review and long-time advocate for independent media and international investment, and his business partner Adrian Campbell, have officially launched one of Southeast Asia's most ambitious development projects: a $6 billion smart city known as Marina Bay City, now under construction on the island of Lombok, Indonesia - Bali's lesser-known but fast-rising neighbor. Dubbed the 'next Dubai meets Bali', Marina Bay City is a master-planned development spanning luxury villas, beach resorts, private hospitals, wellness centers, digital nomad hubs, education precincts, and a marina lifestyle precinct - all aimed at one rapidly growing market: Western expats looking to escape increasing restrictions, surveillance, and cost-of-living pressures back home. From Vision to Billions McIntyre and Campbell have taken the bold approach of creating billions in real estate value before even completing construction. Through strategic land banking, private equity fundraising, and the power of master-planned city design, the duo has successfully acquired and rezoned hundreds of hectares of prime oceanfront land, transforming raw beachfront and hillside terrain into a globally marketed smart city that's now gaining momentum among early investors. According to early valuation reports and investor presentations, the project - once fully built - is expected to exceed $6 billion in total developed value, with projected revenues from villa sales, commercial leasing, tourism, and healthcare services. With land already appreciating sharply in Lombok due to the spillover from Bali's tourism saturation, McIntyre and Campbell's early-mover advantage is already paying off. 'We're creating wealth from raw dirt and big vision,' says McIntyre. 'It's what great developers do. We didn't wait for governments or corporations - we saw a global trend and built the solution: a safe, free, vibrant city for people seeking a better lifestyle and more freedom.' Why Lombok, and Why Now? As Bali reaches its limits in terms of land availability and congestion, Lombok - just a short 20-minute flight away - is emerging as Indonesia's next property boom hub. The Indonesian government has already designated it a national tourism development priority, pouring billions into international airport expansion, roads, and energy infrastructure. Add to that white-sand beaches, dramatic coastlines, and growing demand from Australians, Europeans, and Americans - and Lombok is becoming the new frontier. Marina Bay City is strategically positioned on Lombok's picturesque southern coastline, minutes from the Mandalika MotoGP circuit and surrounded by untouched surf beaches and reef-lined bays. A City for the Future - And the Freedom-Minded Unlike traditional developments focused only on tourism, Marina Bay City has a deeper mission: to serve as a haven for freedom-seeking Westerners, particularly from Australia, where many feel increasingly disillusioned by the direction of political and economic policy post-pandemic. 'There's a silent exodus happening,' says Adrian Campbell. 'We're building not just real estate - we're building a new life for thousands of people who want safety, beauty, opportunity, and freedom. Marina Bay City is the first of its kind - a privately built, community-led smart city for expats and locals alike.' The Billionaire BlueprintIn less than three years, McIntyre and Campbell have effectively created billions in paper wealth through savvy land deals, innovative financing, and early adoption of global digital marketing. They're following the proven model of Dubai's success - where private developers created entire cities from desert - but applying it to a tropical, freedom-oriented lifestyle. Their company is also exploring tokenized real estate investments, sustainable infrastructure, and digital residency programs - making Marina Bay City a model of modern, decentralized, community-first development. With construction already underway and hundreds of villas now in planning or early sales phases, the duo's status as self-made billionaires is rapidly solidifying - not just on paper, but in bricks, mortar, and visionary execution.

If You Need Any Customization on Water Treatment System Market Report, Inquire Now @ Reverse Osmosis Leads Technology, Point-of-Use Dominates Installation, and Residential Sector Spurs Demand By Technology In 2024, the reverse osmosis (RO) systems segment emerged as the dominant technology in the Water Treatment System Market, accounting for over 28.00% of the total revenue share. This impressive performance is due mainly to RO's reputation for the removal of a broad range of contaminants, including heavy metals, dissolved salts, and pathogen removal. Their excellent purification efficiency, which can be applied to civil and industrial applications, makes it a preferred option for the system. This distinct property of enhancing water taste and lowering total dissolved solids (TDS) drives the demand owing to water salinity and pollution issues in the region. By Installation The point-of-use (POU) segment led the installation category in 2024, generating the highest revenue due to growing consumer awareness regarding water quality and the presence of harmful substances in tap water. Typically, these are installed either under a sink or at selected faucets and supply you with clean water at the point of use instead of putting in place a complete household plumbing system. They are very popular in urban households because of their compact size, simple installation, and low cost. Significant POU (point-of-use) and compact treatment packs boasting due to the rising adoption of POU units in apartments and small homes, are fuelling the growth of POU systems in the Water Treatment System Market. By Application The residential application segment accounted for the largest share, approximately 38% of the Water Treatment System Market in 2024. This supremacy is primarily spurred by increasing worries about drinking water quality, particularly in high-population centers and areas where water infrastructure is aging. With consumers becoming more health-conscious, households have begun to utilize various advanced filtration systems like RO units, carbon filters, and UV purifiers to achieve clean and drinkable water. Other factors influencing revenues of the global residential water treatment systems market include a rise in disposable income amongst the consumers and an increasing trend of health-conscious living. North America Emerges as Fastest-Growing Region with Rising Infrastructure Investments and Smart Solutions Asia Pacific held the highest revenue share of about 35.28% in 2024. Factors driving this include rapid industrialization, urban growth, and population expansion in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia. Moreover, rising investments in custom-based water treatment system technologies are fulfilling local demand, ranging from municipal treatment plants to residential purifiers. Innovative, cost-effective solutions are being implemented by governments and private players to solve potable and industrial water issues. Increasing consumer awareness towards clean water, growing from recurring contamination scares, is also playing a key role in propelling the demand for more advanced systems such as reverse osmosis, filtration, and disinfection technologies. With the rapid proliferation of industries and urban consumption, the need for an integrated water treatment network is increasing in parallel. North America is projected to grow at a high CAGR of nearly 8.69% during 2025–2032. The demand is fueled by regulatory mandates such as the provisions in the Safe Drinking Water Act, increasingly stringent environmental standards, and rising levels of private capital investment in water infrastructure. But U.S. consumers and industries are looking for new systems that can eliminate next-generation contaminants, such as PFAS, microplastics, and drug residuals. Utility companies are seeking digital and IoT-empowered water treatment systems to better monitor systems, cut waste, and enhance performance. At the same time, the use of point-of-use and point-of-entry systems is growing in both residential and commercial sectors due to rising quality concerns, and with many water infrastructure systems becoming old.

GRAHAM receives planning approval for Glasgow student accommodation project
Glasgow City Council in Scotland has granted planning consent for GRAHAM Investment Projects' student accommodation development in the city's Anderston area. The £70m ($94m) investment will revitalise a former brownfield site at 138 Hydepark Street into a 25-storey residence, featuring 236 studio apartments and 174 cluster flats. The new complex aims to meet the growing demand for student housing in the city and contribute to the broader regeneration initiatives in Anderston. The development will offer a comprehensive suite of modern amenities, including rooftop terraces, social lounges, group study areas, and wellness facilities, all designed to enhance the health and well-being of its student residents. Glasgow-based architecture company Cooper Cromar will design the building while Graham Construction will serve as the lead contractor for the project. The project team also comprises Iceni Projects as the planning consultant and Etive Engineers handling the structural and civil engineering aspects. Project construction is set to begin later this year, and completion is expected in time for the 2028 academic year. Graham Investment Projects managing director John McDonald said: 'Securing planning permission for this development is a key milestone in bringing forward much-needed, high-quality student accommodation in Glasgow. Transforming a disused brownfield site into a vibrant living environment is a clear example of how targeted investment can support both education and regeneration.' 'Equally, this project reflects our strong confidence in the city's future and we're proud to play a role in helping to future-proof Glasgow as a global destination for education and innovation.' Last month, Graham Investment Projects announced the commencement of work on Ireland's only Passivhaus standard leisure facility. The Fermanagh Lakeland Forum in Enniskillen will be transformed into a state-of-the-art leisure, health, and wellbeing hub.
