Tibro may be a small Swedish city known for its trade but it's also produced a few notable athletes including Anton Stralman of the Florida Panthers There is an unmistakable pride in Anton Stralman’s voice when he speaks of Tibro the Swedish municipality that’s located in between country's two largest lakes is known as the furniture production hub of the country but my brother was and my dad has been in the industry too,” said Stralman “You meet any family from Tibro and they will have some association with the furniture and wood industries It’s also a place that’s produced some world-class athletes over the years Tibro has churned out tennis star Robin Söderling who has 10 ATP singles titles to his name and rose to prominence in 2009 for becoming the first player to defeat Rafael Nadal at the French Open Other prominent athletes from the city include figure skaters Viktoria Helgesson (a five-time Nordic and eight-time Swedish national champion) Joshi (a three-time Swedish national champion) and seven-time World Enduro champion Anders Eriksson the Florida Panthers defenceman offers up a short history lesson The wood industry in my town was amazing about 50 years back It seemed as though everyone worked with wood and making furniture but the one thing that’s been consistent throughout all those times is sports.” Stralman happily took advantage of Tibro’s vibrant sporting scene there were plenty of other athletic endeavors he took part in throughout his childhood Stralman’s sports calendar was full on a year-round basis “There are plenty of sports to do in this little community and I did a lot of them I played soccer up until I was about 14 or 15 Olympic handball for one or two seasons – I played so many sports because there are so many that are offered.” The 34-year-old veteran of nearly 850 regular season NHL games points to his multi-sport upbringing as a major reason for him making it to the NHL and international hockey ranks “I’m a true believer in multi-sporting I believe that develops athleticism and more than anything it gives you a break so that you can enjoy something else I was a better player because of playing other sports And there are so many sports I still like to play Those are two sports I really like to follow.” Stralman has some serious skills on the tennis court Two of his teammates – both fellow Swedes – recently found that out Who is the best Swedish-born NHLer when it comes to tennis I know Hank [Henri Lundqvist] is pretty good I’m sure when he recovers from his surgery that he’ll be back on the tennis court I did beat [Patric] Hornqvist and [Alexander] Wennberg here in a little club championship we had.” Stralman will almost certainly be back on the tennis court once the 2020-21 NHL season ends whether that happens to be in the Sunshine State or a little Swedish town He hasn't been home since the American Thanksgiving holiday Stralman sees first-hand how Tibro continues to dedicate itself to the sporting life He’ll likely pass by Tibro Action Park a 602-square metre concrete park open year-round at no cost for skateboarding, BMX, kickbike and more “It’s a relatively new spot and I never got the chance to try it as a kid If there’s one thing that little town is doing a lot of and doing it the right way – there’s a lot of heart and soul – is to give the kids something to do Not every kid wants to play hockey or soccer but there are so many things to choose from “I did skateboarding when I was a kid we had to do a little more creative building so I guess that’s my woodworking experience – building ramps and rails.” And also helping to put Tibro on the world sports map “There have been some good athletes that have come from this little town It’s kind of exciting that this little town in the middle of nowhere is finding ways to develop athletes in not just one sport We go 'In The Locker Room' to find out We went ‘In The Locker Room’ to ask players about some of the best nicknames around the league Anton Stralman & the New York Rangers stood strong to extend the Stanley Cup Final The defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers acquired Jones in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night landing him and a 2026 fourth-round pick for goaltender Spencer Knight and a conditional first-round pick in next year's draft Matthew Tkachuk and Charlie McAvoy selected as alternate captains.

The MRI revealed an enlarged right lacrimal gland with no evidence of surrounding inflammatory change or discrete nodules (Fig. 1) Other radiological findings included symmetric enlargement of the palatine tonsils and a mildly enlarged left level IIa lymph node To obtain a definitive diagnosis, we biopsied the lacrimal gland and submitted the sample for histopatho­logical evaluation. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining revealed dense lymphoid infiltrates of the glandular tissue, predominantly of small, mature lymphocytes (Fig. 2) Small germinal centers were noted with aggregates of CD138+ plasma cells Additional fea­tures included scattered foci of fibrosis interspersed with plasma cells IgG4 stain revealed several foci of more than 100 IgG4-positive plasma cells per high power field There were focal areas where the IgG4/IgG ratio was >40% Final tissue diagnosis of IgG4–related ocular disease (IgG4-ROD) was concluded based on plasma cell density in high-power fields and IgG4/IgG ratios Serological analysis revealed several important findings serological IgG4 was with­in laboratory limits Incidental thyroid studies revealed markedly decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an idiopathic inflammatory condition associated with lesions appearing in various organs of the body.1 Although the etiology of these lesions is still unclear IgG4-RD is characterized by tumor-like infiltrations of IgG4-posi­tive plasma cells typically with fibrotic abnormalities and elevated serum IgG4.2 However normal values do not pre­clude IgG4-RD.1 Organs commonly affected include the pancreas and aorta—organ involvement that was previ­ously not thought to be connected Painless eyelid swelling is the presenting symptom in many cases Proptosis with or without diplopia is also common unilateral or bilateral periorbital swelling and erythema.3 When extraocular muscles are involved or diplopia with the inferior rec­tus being the most commonly involved inflammatory lesions have been reported to produce optic neurop­athy via mass effect.3 One significant association with IgG4-ROD is the involvement of the thyroid specifically IgG4 thyroiditis.4 Storiform-type fibro­sis and obliterative phlebitis represent characteristics of IgG4 disease.4 Diagnostic criteria for IgG4-ROD disease include clinical examination with diffuse or localized masses in sin­gle or multiple organs hematological examination with serum IgG4 concen­tration >135mg/dL and histological examination with marked lymphocytic and plasma infiltration and fibrosis.3 While clinical features of progres­sive lesions involving multiple organs tissue biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis no trial has focused on IgG4-ROD treatment clinicians typically employ empirical treatment Systemic cor­ticosteroids are the treatment of choice for IgG4-ROD No ideal steroid dosage has been established for IgG4-ROD; however the dose used for IgG4-related pancreatitis is 0.6 mg/kg/day with a taper of 5 mg every one or two weeks.5 Although initial response to therapy is typically good and some physicians may choose to keep patients on a maintenance dose of 5 mg/day of prednisolone Immunosuppressants are reserved for cases of recalcitrant disease Options include rituximab.3 With improved understanding of the disease and the pathophysiology IgG4-ROD specific treatment regiments may be devised and tested via randomized trials Given the strong association of IgG4-ROD and IgG4 thyroiditis it is interesting to consider whether her previous episodes of hyperthyroidism were related to IgG4 thyroiditis may have been more appro­priate rather than radioiodine ablation Future episodes of thyroiditis may respond to steroid therapy rather than therapy targeted toward the thyroid Tibro for rheumatologic and endocrine evaluation and further management The endocrine service is man­aging the hypothyroid symptoms is now following the patient and is prepared to initiate treat­ment should systemic symptoms devel­op This case highlights the role of ophthalmologists in diagnosis and evaluation of systemic disease Biopsy and correct diagnosis in this instance significantly informed the decision-making of our internist colleagues Hodson are all at the Wexner Medical Center of the Ohio State Univer­sity in Columbus Kauh is a clinical assistant professor in orbital plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science; Mr Hodson is a medical student at the College of Medicine Download PDF  We ordered an MRI to further charac­terize the lesion.

its first court upgrades in 15 years.The club has also welcomed dozens of new players to the fold with a renewed sense of spirit across all grades as the 2023 season heats up.Tibro’s president Jen Lowry said the timing of the three new court surfaces was perfect as the club continued to grow.“These new courts have come at a great time for us because we now have 13 junior teams and nine teams in our ladies’ competition so having access to all three courts is important for us,” she said.“This year and we have around 200 players registered as either a junior or senior member which is great for our growth.”The project which was initially grinding the courts down a few layers but took several months to complete due to more damage than originally thought.“We originally got a grant to renovate our toilet block but we realised if our courts aren’t right then why fix our toilets first so we applied for another grant through the community gambling fund,” she said.“The grant was for $35,000 and we have also been able to fundraise over the last couple of years to gain enough money to redo the courts too which ended up costing $65,000.“Now that the courts are completed we are getting quotes to renovate our toilet block as well as from our sponsors’ ongoing support.”The club president said the upgrade was a huge boost to the club and would help grow their membership and presence in the community.To thank sponsors and to continue raising funds Tibro’s is hosting a Musical Bingo night on May 13 with heaps of cash and voucher prizes on offer for the winners We’ve made this article

liability company in New Zealand but uncertainty surrounds its presence here despite public records showing three directors including one who BusinessDesk spoke to exclusively Records show Starlink plans to offer a satellite internet service in addition to leasing antennas at a ground site near Invercargill to communicate with satellites BusinessDesk also found that Starlink’s three NZ trademark applications were rejected in January Starlink’s goal is to use low earth orbit satellites to bring reliable high-speed internet services to rural areas that lack decent fibre broadband or cellular network coverage The satellites orbit at a height of around 500 kilometres which gives them five to six years before they re-enter Earth’s atmosphere All local evidence points to SpaceX’s confidence in NZ’s place in the Starlink service but it seems to have been a bumpy ride so far Robin McNeill is space operations manager at Awarua satellite ground station Southland’s regional development agency He has a long career in engineering and telecoms and was made a Member of the NZ Order of Merit for services to conservation on the 2017 Queen’s Birthday honours list Awarua is one of four satellite ground stations that SpaceX wants to use for specific radio bands, according to a US Federal Communications Commission document McNeill works with commercial companies who covet Awarua’s remote southern location for optimal satellite data communications He is also one of three registered directors of Starlink NZ A non-disclosure agreement stopped him from discussing Starlink’s work directly The other two directors are US-based David Anderman SpaceX general counsel and the former COO of Lucasfilm a principal operations engineer who has been at SpaceX since 2006 “We have a big green flat paddock at the bottom of the world with 100 gigabits per second fibre-optic backup and technicians,” said McNeill of the Awarua station’s appeal We can see right to the horizon and there are no people and no radio users compared to the rest of the world It’s very easy to do frequency coordination.” Having a ground station at the South Pole would be optimal but the complication of having long term staff in the hostile environment means Awarua is as close as a ground station can get to icy ideals With satellites frequently set to orbit over both poles it makes the location incredibly attractive for leasing land to set up antennas for commercial customers satellites that provide communications services must transfer data between several points on the earth during their orbit with antennas set up at locations known as ground stations It’s not necessary for all Starlink affiliate companies to have in-country ground stations but NZ happens to be a country with a desirable location for one SpaceX applied for a license in Alaska to be an internet service provider The document lists SpaceX’s alien affiliates one of which was ‘TIBRO New Zealand’ TIBRO spells ‘orbit’ backwards and the name was used for several affiliates in other countries On Oct. 2, NZ Companies Office records show a change of company name from TIBRO New Zealand to Starlink New Zealand David Quigg of Quigg Partners law firm in Wellington where the subsidiary's NZ offices are listed A similar name change of Starlink’s Australian affiliate from the TIBRO name is also on the public record NZ Intellectual Property Office records show SpaceX applied for three trademarks for use of the Starlink name in NZ in January One application was for class 9 goods relating to commercial satellites and the other two were for class 38 and class 42 services relating to satellite communication services BusinessDesk found through an Official Information Act request that all three were rejected in the same month due to similarities with trademarks held by Subaru since 2012 for its Subaru Starlink in-car technology system The applications reflect SpaceX’s desire to provide Starlink’s internet service in NZ using satellites launched from the US The records show SpaceX can submit an objection response or make changes to the applications by Jan 2021 or the applications will be abandoned The records did not reflect that the company has taken either action SpaceX did not respond when asked for comment on any of its Starlink operations in NZ Future Starlink customers will need branded satellite dishes to receive service signal, which Musk has said will be ordered online. The programme is currently in beta testing according to a July report which said a small number of US citizens have received dishes free of charge to test the service the so-called constellations of satellites can sometimes be seen from earth in unnatural straight lines of light across the sky Starlink NZ’s existence as a company is notable because SpaceX does not need a registered NZ company to legally offer New Zealanders its internet service or build and lease antennas at Awarua Starlink or any company could also ask Great South to hold the necessary radio spectrum management licences on its behalf Radio spectrum management records also show multiple current spectrum licenses held by Starlink NZ for satellite communications and confirms additional internet gateway locations used by the company at Wellsford and Cromwell MBIE said that licenses are not necessary for use of alternative ‘open’ radio frequencies But McNeill said that many companies prefer to hold the licenses themselves to have full control and be the party answerable to authorities one possible reason for Starlink NZ’s existence Given Starlink does not need to own land as it appears to be set to lease antennas on land at the Awaura site the NZ company likely exists in order to own radio spectrum licences We install antennas where you don’t get change from a million dollars and we’ve got the continual work of updating noting that the pandemic hadn’t dented interest in services and that some projects could create permanent jobs in the area He also said that he was in negotiations for Awarua to support missions to Earth-Moon Lagrange point 1 a point in space where the earth and moon’s gravitational pulls cancel each other out allowing spacecraft to stay in one spot to stably monitor the moon “By the end of this year we’ll be doing over a million dollars’ worth of weightless exports With other weightless export industries like gaming suffering due to lack of government funding the ongoing success of the ground station without such funding is encouraging “We’re doing OK without them to be honest,” he quipped “We have relationships with various space agencies around the world since we’ve been working on Awarua since 2004 The space community’s pretty small so we know who to talk to.” He’s evidently been talking to Starlink and said he has good relationships with Rocket Lab and San Francisco’s PlanetLabs He believes satellite internet services are ultimately a good interim service but that fibre networks are the long-term solution to NZ’s rural connectivity issues He suggests Starlink is another of Musk’s many sideshows distracting us all from the tech entrepreneur’s main ambition I don’t think he’s that interested in the internet,” McNeill said but it seems as though Musk is poised to take advantage of NZ’s useful geography to support Starlink globally as well as offer its internet service here His colleagues might need to work on those trademarks Employees are seen transporting material for booths at the exhibition hall of the Canton Fair Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday reiterated China’s commitment to opening-up in a congratulatory letter to a high-level ..

The gategroup Holding AG has announced today that it is to acquire the Inflight Service Group for CHF130m ($126.5m) in a move it claims will establish it as the ‘leading Buy on Board’ company in the inflight business. The gategroup says the acquisition ties in well with its existing business and it expects it to boost annual sales revenue by plus CHF240m ($233.6m) and EBITDA by CHF13.4m ($13m). The acquisition price of CHF130m ($126.5m) is estimated to represent 6.5 times the valuation to EBITDA post synergies and is expected to prove 12% accretive in terms of cash earnings per share (EPS) within year one (and 16% in year two). The acquisition itself was assisted by funds from Triton and is described as ‘debt free’. As has been well documented many times, IFS is Europe’s leading inflight duty free and travel retail concessionaire and operator, with a historic focus on the Nordic region which it serves from its Swedish base. IFS currently has 300 employees in five countries and supplies airlines, shipping companies (ferries and cruiselines) and airports in Poland, Sweden and Estonia. The warehouse and logistics centre in Tibro, central Sweden is the engine room at Inflight Service where products are ‘picked’ for all of its airline customers. Inflight Service is the most successful pre-order DF&TR airline supplier in the world. The company has long had a special market leading focus on Nordic charter airline passengers who often spend up to $80-$100 per head – taking advantage of tax free (and duty free) savings against domestic market pricing. IFS’ airline customers include Atlantic Airways, DAT, jt, Malmö Aviation, Norwegian, Novair, Primera Air, SAS, Jetairfly, TUIfly, Arke and others. Its ferry and cruiseline partners include Birka Cruises, DFS Seaways, Eckerö Line, Eckerö Linjen, fjordline; Landalini and Unity Line. While the acquisition is agreed between the two companies, it still has to be approved by the Polish anti-trust authorities, with the final closure anticipated in February next year. gategroup Holding AG is basing its profit projections on achieving annual cost synergies of around CHF6m ($5.8m) between its existing operation and that of IFS in relation to cost of goods sold efficiencies and integration of the support functions over the next 18 months following the approval of the deal. One of Inflight Service’s most important accounts which was originally won by the two pioneer founders of the company way back in 1991 – Johan Bjarke and Johan Kullander. The gategroup says the acquisition will also make it the ‘leader’ in terms of number of customers and business intelligence with access to data on the purchasing preferences of more than 175m passengers worldwide and access to IFS’ on-board technology. The company said: “This will also mean the acceleration of gategroup’s POPS, an automated and full-featured Pre-Order and Pre-Selection technology that enables airlines to easily implement and deliver a modern onboard shopping experience to passengers driving efficiencies and revenue opportunities. “Buy on Board is a key segment, as already today about 50% of the short-haul traffic in Europe derives from low cost carriers with no complimentary food service. gategroup says the transaction is expected to be 12% accretive in cash earnings per share (EPS) in year one, including run-rate synergies. The acquisition will be fully financed through drawing under gategroup’s existing facilities.” Commenting on the development, Xavier Rossinyol, gategroup CEO (and former Dufry board member) said: “gategroup’s growth and the enhancement of our Buy on Board offering coupled with an on-track delivery of efficiency gains and cost savings are key pillars of our Gateway 2020 strategy. Another shot of ‘product pickers’ at work in the Tibro logistics centre. “We are very pleased to have found a service provider in IFS that shares our focus on innovation and efficiency, with the flexibility to quickly adapt within the ever-changing world of the airline industry and with a common goal to provide the best possible offering to customers. “This transaction, therefore, represents much more than an accretive acquisition: It is a clear step forward in creating the largest Buy on Board operator in the industry, leading commercial innovation, knowledge of customers and technology, as well as to accelerate ancillary business generation for the airlines whilst significantly enhancing passenger satisfaction. “We look forward to welcoming the IFS employees to our gategroup community and to jointly continuing to develop and deploy advancements in this important retail space, to modernize the passenger experience and to create incremental value to our shareholders.” ABC News News HomePolitics Link copiedShareShare articleMichael Kelland an information architect from Yarramalong Valley 80km north of Sydney is proud to be one of the first Australian customers for a much-anticipated new satellite internet service "We've been earmarked to get SkyMuster and we hadn't switched to it yet because I was quite nervous," he said the rocket company started by Tesla entrepreneur Elon Musk When an email from the company landed in his inbox while he was working from home on Tuesday he didn't hesitate even though the service is largely untested it's going to cost $800 for the equipment and $140 per month — then he had to tell his wife He's been told not to expect it to become operational until the second half of 2021 Michael Kelland and his family are set to receive Starlink internet later in 2021 Starlink did not respond to requests for clarification either through SpaceX or its Australian law firm Baker McKenzie the company has only invited a select group of customers But it's not clear how many have been signed up Starlink to date has remained mostly out of sight, apart from its satellite "trains" famously being spotted by stargazers But the company has been edging closer to a local commercial service over the past year a company called TIBRO Australia was granted a carrier license allowing it to operate as a telecommunications provider in Australia TIBRO — which spells "orbit" backwards — changed its name to Starlink Australia Then Starlink Australia secured radiocommunications licenses allowing it to send wireless signals Those licenses detail where exactly Starlink's Australian land-based facilities are: Wagin in Western Australia and Broken Hill and Boorowa in New South Wales and discovered a high fence near the highway What appears to be the Starlink receiving station in Boorowa The fence is located close to the new CSIRO research facility connected to AARNet's high speed internet link These domes match similar structures in photos taken by international Starlink observers A Reddit user last year posted this image purporting to be domes at a Starlink ground station People like Mr Kelland are prepared to pay for a service that is little more than marketing because of what it promises Starlink has launched thousands of satellites into low-earth orbit That's more than 60 times closer than the distance of the NBN's satellites It means data has a shorter distance to travel so online services like cloud collaboration and video conferencing should in theory feel less laggy Tweaks by NBN Co have made their satellites more reliable than ever and thousands of Australians now swear by the service founder of wireless internet provider Wi-Sky latency has always been a problem with satellite internet "A lot of people have had bad experiences on satellite that's a reason why we got into doing this in the first place," he said Jock Graham runs the wireless internet company Wi-Sky in regional New South Wales He predicts NBN satellite users may be tempted to switch "You'll probably see a lot of movement or shift from the NBN side of things to something like this but it's got to be able to do what it says "I mean if I didn't live near any areas where I could get fibre services or fixed wireless yeah I'd be pretty keen to hear about this product But NBN Co chief executive Stephen Rue isn't worried about losing customers "The fact that there may be low orbit satellite capability provided to Australians particularly in regional Australia," he told the ABC Reports emerged this week that Starlink claims more than 10,000 customers around the world 109,000 Australian homes are currently connected to NBN satellite More than 300,000 more are in NBN's satellite footprint but are yet to connect Do you live near one of Starlink's four Australian facilities?

the potential to bring about radical change in the way we make furniture Pushing the boundaries of furniture making has always required a clever use of available materials and technology That is what resulted in experiments with bent wood and steel pipes that in time became iconic furniture the process leading to innovation began with a yearning to push the industry forward through research of unconventional materials – and by using our hands “Many of my ideas are born when I make prototypes and I believe that you can only find new values in design by doing so and using your hands I found myself arriving at a new structure which became the starting point for Jin” The unique structure of Jin was ideally realized by using flax fiber can make furniture both extremely light weight and high performing The body of Jin is defined by shaping thin layers of flax fibers on top of each other forming a strong shell around a core of air making the surface the actual structure of the chair “This chair is what Offecct Lab and our Lifecircle philosophy is all about: engineers and designers working closely together to explore new and sustainable horizons of the furniture industry” says Anders

Jin by Jin Kuramoto received the Red Dot: Best of the Best It is granted for ground-breaking design and goes to the best products in a category The concept for Neri & Hu’s Hanger is to create a new kind of furniture for people who like to hang their garments and accessories out in the open in a room rather than concealed in a closet or wardrobe It is a sign of respect for the garments but also motivated by hygienic reasons — to air the garments out after a day’s wear in “We are always interested in seemingly mundane and anonymous everyday objects,” says Lyndon Neri of Neri & Hu “This hanger represents an object that is neglected and ignored in domestic and office environments — not glorified at all but in fact among the most important It doesn’t crave attention but adorns grace beauty and usefulness to the household.” “It’s actually a very exclusive hanger that becomes almost like a sculpture in the room — adding another value but also fulfilling a clear function in a workplace a hotel room or a domestic environment,” says Anders Englund Our Lifecircle philosophy is reflected in the hanger’s base, made of recycled stone or concrete with a frame of metal. “We very much respect the Offecct brand values which stand for simplicity and a strong sense for the contemporary communal meeting place—and not least for progressive Lifecircle ideas,” says Lyndon Neri “We think that the Hanger stands for all these values.” \"our\") of the service provided by this web site (\"Service\") are not responsible for any user-generated content and accounts Content submitted

Hamilton near Gage Park will be ready for residents by Nov The Lawson Towns’ upscale two- and three-bedroom unfurnished units are located at 276 Dunsmure Rd on the historical site of the Lawson Lumber Yard Lawson Lumber was a family owned business that opened in 1910 The townhomes are a short walk away from Gage Park and the shops and restaurants of Ottawa Street It’s also close to the Main street bus line and future LRT route The project has 64 total rental units with upscale “efficient and effective layouts,” optional parking spots and “free” unlimited according to the Toronto developer Tibro Properties.  It plans to have a few electric-car charging parking spots by early next year Construction of the project began in October 2022 The first block of townhomes with about 18 units will be ready for residents on Nov The block has 10 lower suites (basements and main floors) and 10 upper units (the second and third floors) The developer hopes to have a block of units ready every 30 days It plans to fully finish all suites by January or February of next year “One of the reasons why we’re building rentals is we believe a lot of current rental stock is old Something as simple as air conditioning is not available for a lot of old rental units,” said Sarit Chandaria in a phone interview with hamilton.insauga.com today (Oct which describes itself as a lifestyle company that builds and provides rental living units is not building affordable housing because it’s not feasible right now but his company hopes to increase the rental stock.  That’s not the intent of the project We would be comparable to other newer townhouses in Hamilton We’re definitely building a higher end project — it’s a nicer product,” he said “I wish we could (build affordable housing) it’s not feasible and it’s a difficult environment right now with high interest rates Our interest rates are high just like homebuyers we have the same issues as somebody getting a mortgage.” One of the developer’s goals is to level up the rental stock Units have open-concept kitchens with hard-surface countertops and specially designed acoustic dampening features to minimize sound between units.  “We’re trying to raise the standard of what it means to rent in Hamilton and bring it up to today’s quality of new builds,” he explained “We do believe in supporting the increase of the rental supply in Hamilton We think it’s a stable market (and) there’s a big demand for housing in Hamilton Hamilton is a beautiful city that has a lot to offer There’s a lot of proof of people moving to Hamilton from other municipalities because it’s a nice place to live So demand is increasing so we’re trying to help keep supply up to date as best we can.” For two-bedrooms that are 1,060 square feet rent goes from $2,695 to about $2,800.  Parking (optional) costs $100 per month for both types of units Chandaria said units that are pricier have “very large backyards” or they’re located on the upper levels which have better natural light and views.  Units either have their own backyard or an upper porch that’s “quite large,” allowing people to have BBQs Those who join the early bird mailing list qualify for free Wi-Fi upon signing a lease Tibro Properties advertises the Lawson Towns as a rental building that it professionally manages in-house.  “We are owners and operators that strive to be a part of the community and provide safe and comfortable living spaces for Hamiltonians to call “home,” Tibro wrote on its website.  One of its selling points is having no third party manager which it says means residents won’t worry about “being left in the dark with maintenance or administrative concerns.” Unlike its other new rental building The Delta Lofts, the Lawson Towns doesn’t have geo-thermal technology to heat and cool the units but it uses “some sustainable materials,” Chandaria said The Toronto developer Tibro describes itself as a  lifestyle company that builds and provides rental living suites.  “With a long-term hold strategy and a goal for stable cash flows We strive to have tenants for life,” it wrote on its website The company said its mission is to address the national rental housing shortage by filling the “long term demand for new high quality and well-priced rental housing stock.”  With much of Hamilton rental stock built in the 1960s and 1970s and the influx of immigrants to Canada Tibro said it aims to offer “the quality of living” renters demand The current rental apartments lack  “modern finishes measures for sustainability and are not designed for the future,” it said Subscribe to INsauga – Ontario Headline News’ daily email newsletter for a chance to win a $100 gift card to Toronto Eaton Centre OR Sherway Gardens Power Big Meet Posted by on
