Creston Homes is planning to start construction next month on a 71-unit apartment project at Southeast 20th Avenue and Morrison Street in the Buckman neighborhood. In contrast to the company's project it started recently near the Hollywood Theatre, the Buckman Court Apartments will be a small, infill effort.
Creston Homes project manager David Mullens said that although the market for apartments is thriving, the company is being cautious. That kind of approach makes sense, brokers say, in light of the economic collapse in the last few years.

Why Burlington's vacant buildings remain so is something of a mystery. Neighbors wonder -- why don't the owners tear these buildings down? Or fix them up? Michael Monte, director of the city's Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO), says it's not always so simple. Renovation and demolition are pricey. "People think, 'Just tear it down,'" he says, "but it's not inexpensive to tear something down.
[George Munson] says he doesn't have a permit to keep the house vacant; he hadn't realized he needed one. "I suppose the city wants to fine me. I better get moving." But he also questions the need for such a permit. "If I'm paying the tax on it and it's not hazardous to anyone, why do they have to put their nose where it doesn't belong?" he asks.

Mining giant Arch Coal completed its acquisition of smaller rival International Coal Group on Wednesday. It's the latest in a string of big deals centered on strong international demand for coal used to make steel.
Buying ICG, based in Scott Depot, makes Arch a much bigger player in the metallurgical coal end of the industry, where prices as high as $315 a ton dwarf those of coal sold to electric utilities. Arch said ICG will make it the No. 2 U.S. producer of met coal when it announced its $3.4 billion cash bid in May.
