Ford is out here this week making a big deal out of its new office complex, which is reborn out of Detroit’s long-abandoned Michigan Central Station.  Partly, this is because Ford is extremely proud of this achievement. It also feels like Ford probably needs to explain why it spent so much money on a building when no one wants to go into an office anymore.   Almost 120 years later, Ford is still here, although the automotive industry is in yet another upheaval. Ford is celebrating by opening up a new ‘Culture And Tech Hub’ built out of the once derelict Michigan Central Station in Detroit. The abandoned 18-story building, and an adjacent building/campus,...

A realtor has offered a look inside an enormous 'dystopian' apartment building in China. Located in Qianjiang Century City in Hangzhou’s central business district, the building is called the Regent International, and offers a huge range of amenities to residents. This includes everything from gyms to supermarkets to swimming pools, and even things like hairdressers. It's up to the point that you might not even ever need to leave the building itself to get everything you need in your day-to-day life. The enormous building has space to accommodate up to 30,000 residents, though it currently houses a slightly lower number of 20,000. Still, that's a lot of people living in just one...

The pink-painted, two-bedroom house was home to Ali—back when he was still known as Cassius Clay—from 1947, when he was 5 years old, until 1961, according to Rusty Underwood and Donna Gail Mattox of Christie’s International Real Estate Bluegrass, who brought the home to the market earlier this week.

A woman who took a chance on buying a property in the €1 scheme in Italy ended up spending thousands to transform it into her €450,000 (£384,000) dream home. Meredith Tabbone, 45, decided to bid on a one euro house on a ‘whim’, after her friend sent her an article about the scheme. The European house scheme means people across the world can buy homes for a single euro (around 85p), which is a far cry from the £724,780 average sold price for a property in London according to Zoopla. It’s not just the birthplace of pasta and pizza where the scheme is available; homes in France and Croatia have previously been put on the market for €1 or...

    A video shows a group of construction workers smashing up a driveway after the homeowner allegedly refused to pay for the work. The homeowner from Australia watched as the newly laid concrete was left pock-marked following the row last year.

Viola had initially paid AU $2,500 ($1670) for the work, but after getting a dispute with Crowe over the...
