The Ronkonkoma Hub could create a reverse commute from New York City image: tritec They’ve been called the selfie generation, entitled and lazy. But Millennials are now the largest generation and, after a decade of moving away from New York’s metro Long Island region , they are beginning to stick around. The number of people aged 20 to 34 living on Long Island rose 7 .6 percent from 2010 to 2015 according to a report released by Long Island Association in June. Despite the stereotypes, experts see the increase as reason for optimism. “It’s vitally important, particularly for businesses that make their home here,” said Robert Loscalzo, the chief operating officer of Tritec Real Estate Company, which specializes in the type of mixed-use housing this generation favors. “You need a vibrant workforce and from the standpoint of job creation it’s vital that companies have a source of labor.” But a home doesn’t necessarily mean a house, especially for Millennials. Nationwide, 34.1 percent of...

Following a false start last year, the Stambo's Group appears to have found a buyer for the abandoned former Morlynn Insulators factory in Yarraville, six kilometres west of the CBD. Stambo's Group, which runs a property arm alongside numerous food -related businesses, is understood to be pocketing more than $20 million from the campaign, which targeted apartment builders . It was relaunched in June by Melbournia??? Real Estate's Zoe Zhu. At 2 Banool Avenue, the 1.4-hectare site was marketed with a Maribyrnong City Council development overlay suggesting the site could make way for a three-level structure with up to 100 dwellings. The former factory, which has also gone by the name of Melbourne Woollen Mills , is considered significant by the Heritage Council of Victoria. It is recorded as a rare and intact example of a purpose-built mid- 19th century industrial building specially adapted to the needs of a woollen mill. An early photo of the property held by the council ...

On a blue- sky summer day , three 12-year-old kids run into an ancient forest adjoining a housing estate. Two of the children are never seen again. The third is found near the centre of the forest, his back and the palms of his hands pressed against a large oak tree . He has blood inside his shoes and no memory of what happened. Much later, when the boy has grown up and become a detective, he is assigned to investigate the murder of a child close to the spot where his friends disappeared . This is the starting point of In the Woods, the first of six related novels that have won a cultish following for Irish writer Tana French . All six books, together known as the Dublin Murder Squad series , are beautifully written. All are hefty. " Big long bastards ," as French puts it when we meet in a Dublin hotel. And all are addictive. I was given the series for Christmas last year, and spent the next few months – annoyingly interrupted by work and, you know, life – reading one volum...
