In the empty field where a two-story Larimer County office building will be constructed over the next year, county commissioner Steve Johnson described "a facility that works for today and for tomorrow."

Larimer County and Loveland officials gathered at First Street and Denver Avenue for an official groundbreaking for the $19.5 million county office building in Loveland, a project on which construction will begin Wednesday.

"This represents an opportunity for folks in the south part of the county to receive the same level of service as folks in the north part of the county, the county seat," said Tom Donnelly, commissioner who lives in Loveland and who pushed for the new building.

He and other county and city officials lauded the staff that provides human services, health department and clerk and recorder services out of an "inadequate" facility at Sixth Street and Cleveland Avenue. They said that with the new office, the building will match the "superb service" already provided.

"Our community is growing," said Johnson. "The facility on Sixth Street was probably pretty great when it opened, but we have mothers sitting on the staircase with children as they wait for service.

"This new building is going to be pretty great."

The two-story, 46,000-square-foot building will house all of those existing services as well as the Workforce Center, the elections department and a southern hub of the Larimer County Sheriff's Office. The parking lot will hold 229 vehicles, and the 8.9 acres offers room to grow.

Though there were some issues to work through in the planning and the decision of where to build, Johnson, Donnelly and Loveland Mayor Cecil Gutierrez said construction would not be happening without cooperation between the city and county. Together, they celebrated the new building that they described as a great addition for all residents of South Larimer County.

The $19.5 million project is being paid out of money the county saved from a previous voter-approved sales tax along with a $1 million grant from the Department of Local Affairs and about $700,000 in fee waivers from the city of Loveland. Donnelly touted the fact that the county planned ahead and saved for the project and is not taking on debt to build the new facility.

"It's going to be paid for entirely with cash," said Donnelly.

Recently, Donnelly looked back over citizen surveys from the 1980s and one of the top priorities, even 30 years ago, was upgrading the facilities in Loveland. He joked about the wheels of government turning slowly, then stressed the excitement that this project has become a reality through tenacity and several years worth of planning and work.

The tax money was initially earmarked to upgrade the existing building, but in 2013, voters agreed to let the county use the money for a new building instead, leading to the search for a site. The county bought the land at First and Denver in 2016.

The design by the Architect Studio looked to current and future needs, and the site is large enough for future expansion, Donnelly noted. Plus, the county and city will continue to work on phase two, a future expansion of probation facilities at the Loveland Police and Courts Building.

Haselden Construction will begin work on the building at First and Denver on Wednesday, and the offices are expected to be complete late summer or early fall of next year.

Gutierrez said he, as a Loveland resident, looks forward to having the new facility open for those who live in the south end of the county.

"Having this building down here in southern Larimer County will be very, very crucial to meeting the needs of our citizens," said Gutierrez.

Dive Brief:

Kansas City is not the only municipality to look at its underutilized waterfront and see significant investment opportunity. Tampa, FL,developers recently announced details of their plans to build a $3 billion, mixed-use project on the city's downtown waterfront along Garrison Channel, which is one of the Port of Tampa waterways.

The project, a joint venture between Bill Gates' Cascade Investment and Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik, will take up 57 acres 9 million square feet and feature a combination of 1,400 condominiums and apartments, hotels,retail and a University of South Florida's medical facility. The project will also bring downtown Tampa its first office building in 25 years.

Earlier this month, the San Diego Unified Port District board and Chula Vista (CA) City Council announced they had signed a developer agreement for a $1 billion resort hotel and convention center for the Chula Vista waterfront. Houston-based RIDA Development will build a 1,450-room Gaylord Hotel and 275,000 square feet of convention space, which officials said will generate 3,100 construction jobs and $390 million in annual economic benefit for the local area.

Gramor Development also announced this month that it had secured a $42.5 million construction loan allowing work to move forward on a $1 billion waterfront project along the Columbia River in Vancouver. WA. The company said it completed necessary infrastructure work, and next up is a seven-story office building and a 63-unit, luxury apartment building, both of which will have ground floor restaurants and retail. Ultimately, the project will deliver 3,300 residential units and 1.3 million square feet of office space, along with additional retail, a hotel and dining space.

A $100 million-plus project developing the old Brea hospital property is gaining momentum nearly five years after it was approved.

Central Park Village, a 15-acre, mix-use development at the former site of the Brea Community Hospital has completed a small portion of the townhouses slated for the site and recently began construction on the apartment and medical office buildings.

JH Real Estate Partners project, which will also include a 1-acre privately managed park, parking garage and commercial space, was approved by the City Council in 2012. The hospital was demolished in 2006.

The economic markets ups and downs slowed the progress of the project, Community Development Director David Crabtree said.

I would have certainly thought that it would had been implemented earlier than now, he said. Thats the part that is out of the citys hands.

Completed are about 25 of the proposed 100 townhouses, which are now occupied, Crabtree said. The other townhouses are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Construction of the three-story medical office building, the apartment complex and the parking garage the buildings will share has broken ground. Crabtree expects those structures to be completed by the end of 2018.

JH Real Estate Partners officials could not be reached for comment.

Folks are finally seeing stuff happening out there. Things are coming out of the ground, which is always exciting, Crabtree said.Its been a bit unusual since it was entitled in 2012, but its taken this long. People move in and out of town and there was a buzz back in 2012, but that buzz has faded over the years.

The commercial space, which is about 30,000 square feet, is looking for an anchor tenant, Crabtree said. A Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market was once planned, but the European grocer that rapidly grew into the western United States began closing all of its U.S. stores in 2013 and filed for bankruptcy two years later.

Crabtree said the city and developer have met to revisit the plans. Office buildings at the site of where the commercial space is intended will remain in place until a new anchor tenant is planned and construction begins.

A rendering of Akridge's planned 190K SF office building at 2100 L St. NW

Thetrophy office building planned at the corner of 21st and L streets NW will not deliver for at least two years, buta major tenant is already in talks to lease its top four floors.

Law firm Morrison & Foersteris in negotiationsto anchor2100 L St. NW, the 190K SF building being developed by Akridge, COPT and Argos Group, according to a CBRE market report.

The lease continues a trend of law firms flocking to the top of trophy office buildings, leaving the lower floors vacant. Of seven office buildings currently or soon-to-be under construction in D.C.'s core submarket, 1.5M SF has been leased in the top stack of the building, with 1.1M SF still available on the lower floors, according to CBRE.

Goodwin Procter is movingto the top three floors of JBG Smith's 1900 N development, as the developer looks to lease the bottom six floors. That project, also in the Golden Triangle BID, broke ground in April once the lease was signed and is also slated for a late 2019 delivery.

Clearly Gottlieb is set to take the top five floorsof Skanska's 2112 Pennsylvania Ave. NW when it delivers next year, as the bottom five floors remain available.

Most of these are law firms, and it's a matter of status and branding that they have a tendency to go to the highest-quality building in the best space, CBRE research manager Wei Xie said. Some of them have been in their previous space for years, so this is a chance to upgrade to the latest and greatest space with the best view and branding opportunities.

Tenants looking to lease the lower floors of these buildings can see up to a 10% discount from the top-floor rent, according to CBRE. But law firms typically don't want to share a building with another law firm, Xie said, so the lower floors of new buildings tend to attract nonprofits, creative companies or co-working tenants.

Remodeling a home is no easy feat. Many times, however, its unnecessary to do a full home remodel when a room addition can give a client what he or she is really seeking.

Designers like Jill Worobec at Mosby Building Arts help clients achieve their dream home without having to leave the one theyre in. Mosby handles ground floor additions, adding a story to the home, family room, breakfast room additions, sunroom and more. Mosbys professionals can even help clients add a new wing to their home or simply assist with space planning.

When a previous Mosby client came to Worobec looking to add a master suite and deck to her home, Worobec figured out how to best implement the vision to the University City ranch home.

For the master suite, the client planned to expand her house into her backyard. She wanted to take her current master bedroom location, flip it with the location of the guest bedroom and push the back wall out. This would enable her to have a large master bathroom with new closets. For the existing master bedroom, she sought to make it a secondary master bedroom when family came to visit.

Worobec got to work and made her clients dream a reality all while keeping with the homes existing theme.

She and the Mosby staff pushed the master bedroom out 3 feet and put in a new cedar deck to create a nice outdoor living area.

The client also wanted to vault her ceiling, so we were able to do that and install a chandelier, Worobec says.

In the master bath, the client had a lot of fun shopping, Worobec says. She was very open to not having a shower door, so we did an open shower with a rain head and handheld. We put in a half-wall and double vanity, too. It was a very confined space, but we were able to maximize it.

One key component to maximizing the space was elevating the vanities. Worobec says they sit about 9 inches off the floor to make the space appear bigger.

We think things through very thoroughly at Mosby, Worobec says. Even in the earliest stages, were planning how to achieve what the clients want to do. We work as a team to make sure the final outcome is exactly what the clients were expecting.

Mosby Building Arts: Bringing Visions to Life - Ladue News

This is the time of year when homeowners revel in indoor-outdoor continuum. The more the home provides a window, a perch, a platform intertwined with green vistas, pretty flowers and bright sun light, the better it is.

Of course, it's the architectural appropriateness of this critical juncture that determines what is distinguished and enduring, and what is merely to be endured.

If the goal is to marrying the house and its setting effectively, you got to start with accurately assessing your home's fundamental architecture, says Craig Durosko, founder and chairman of Sun Design Remodeling. Nothing that is seminal to the basic look of the property as a whole can be regarded as out-of-the-picture.

Durosko should know. His firm has been helping homeowners find distinctive ways to open-up the house to its setting for 29 years, and his seasoned staff of designers is among the nation's most lauded by peer groups, other professionals and the home and garden press.

But it all begins with a sensitive reading of what's already there, the remodeler contends.

Three recent projects illustrate the point.

On Lake Barcroft

Owners of a circa-1950s Eichler-style ranch house in Lake Barcroft were seeking big changes within a budget, so the Sun Design team focused on well-integrated incremental solutions: an upgraded kitchen visually linked to main rooms; a remade foyer; interior rooms reconfigured as a master suite; an artfully redesigned powder room.

Among challenges, the existing residence featured a butterfly roof, a rare period detail that earlier remodeling projects had obscured.

Our plan called for restoring the original sense of the house, Durosko recalls. This is fundamentally a mid-20th century style that relies on clean lines, so it made sense to pare back extraneous elements and to create more visual continuum.

Greater cohesion also being an owner priority, designers transformed a dated, closed-in set of main-level rooms into interactive activity zones perfectly configured for graceful socializing.

One of our core decisions was to enhance the connectivity between the kitchen and the living room, Durosko recalls. When this house was built, custom called for hiding the kitchen, which meant blocking the view of a lakeside wooded setting. Today we are well-practiced in applying techniques that discretely incorporate the kitchen into a homes primary socializing areas.

By implementing a handful of structural changes and developing a less obtrusive kitchen interior, the plan achieved a balanced spatial integration, and established sightlines to nearby Lake Barcroft.

The original kitchens drop-down soffit was replaced by a ceiling-flush horizontal beam supported by a single column. This innovation enabled the designer to eliminate a small window-sized pass-through and to introduce a well-defined open plan that includes a black granite bar top/serving counter replete with the stools.

Espresso-colored maple cabinet facings and textured travertine backsplashes tone down the existing kitchens utilitarian ambiance. A sculpturally eye-catching stainless steel cook top vent is both functional and a focal point in an effectively neutral canvas.

Recessed ceiling lights in both the kitchen and the living room reinforce the understated unity. A small adjacent home office was also upgraded and visually re-incorporated into a more open floor plan. Replacing its small hopper window with 54-by-66 glazing turns a dark corner into a favored, sunny nook.

Meanwhile in the front of the house, a seldom-used guest bedroom was reconfigured into square footage now allocated for the new master bedroom suite. The hall was converted into the suites new foyer. The re-designed footprint provides space for a dedicated luxury master bath and an adjacent walk-in closet. A new wall surface created by eliminating the door to the former bath allowed owners to reposition their bed, gaining a recumbent view of the lake.

The homes front foyer attains heightened aesthetics even while giving up a few feet of floor space for a first-level laundry. The original existing door and single sidelight have been replaced with a glass facing double door with retractable screen. Ivory travertine flooring (replacing quarry tile) segues to tasteful white oak that defines a processional from the front door.

The first level powder room inspired by colors in a framed poster art promotion of a Matisse exhibition is both playful and elegant.

Oak Hill idyll: Dining deck with glass-topped sunroom weathers all seasons

We think of an outdoor living plan as a creative response to an owner's personal requirements, says Bob Gallagher, Sun Design's president. The important point is not how much of it is open or enclosed, but how well the whole supports a lifestyle in which exposure to nature is the primary goal.

A recent dining deck plus sunroom solution in Oak Hill illustrates the point. After years of occupying a home custom-designed precisely to exploit a pretty wooded setting, the owners had decided they wanted a stronger link to the outdoors. Low-maintenance was an essential ingredient, but they initially envisioned an outdoor room, free from insects yet with dramatic visual continuum in all directions.

They had looked at screen porches, Gallagher explains. The idea was an enclosed space on the new dining deck, something of a place apart; A transitional footprint between house and open air.

As the conversation developed, extending the room's seasonal usefulness gradually became the rising aspiration.

If we could create a dramatic connectedness to nature and extend the room seasonally, we were heading to the right solution, Gallagher recalls.

At a glance, the resulting 10.5 '-by-12.5' sunroom is a neatly balanced space plan that seems neither closed nor overexposed to the elements. Floor-to-ceiling windows define the room on every elevation. Overhead, two skylights installed on a hipped roof allow 25 square feet of natural light. Ceramic tile flooring and other neutral finishes reinforce the natural, open ambiance which is visually linked to the welcoming dining deck.

To preserve generous views on the existing rear elevation, Gallagher and team placed the sunroom directly off the kitchen to the left of the family room. Built-ins and a fireplace comfortably integrate the space to the existing interior. The room is a favored spot to watch the trees, and is mostly opened-up for cross breezes on temperate days.

Since upkeep requirements were to be restricted to an annual pressure wash, even the sunroom's exterior paneling is low-maintenance. Hardiplank siding, Trex decking, aluminum balusters and vinyl-clad posts further articulate a decorative outdoor design scheme that is also easy to maintain.

Vienna by the pond

A remodel in Vienna points to how a screened-in porch can be thoroughly mainstreamed yet visually thrust into an intimate relationship with varied landscaping.

Initially conceived as a rear elevation addition that would replace a small deck outside the existing breakfast room, after studying the plans for a while the homeowner decided a porch would be more useful. Still, Sun Design's team made adroit use of the earlier drawings, incorporating fine exterior trim detailing into the new porch.

Architectural appropriateness is always critical in an improvement of this caliber, Durosko explains. We decided early on that the best way to rationalize the re-made exterior elevation was to match the pyramid-shaped roof over the breakfast room. By contrast, the entrance from porch to patio was designed as a hyphen between two clearly defined enclosed spaces. This approach enabled us to avoid too much massing on the rear of the house, and to keeps the scale accessible and comfortable. Overall, the new exterior presents a very appealing rhythm.

To further conjoin house and garden, the porch design calls for a ground level course of local quarry stone that matches those used in the existing patio. The new elevation is architecturally sympathetic, and the fine exterior trim work has been constructed from wood.

Taken as a whole, the owner's program concentrated on several specifics: a bug-free family outdoor play area near the existing patio barbecue; generously unencumbered zones for dining, cooking and conversation; open sightlines to the well-developed Koi pond and lovely backyard landscaping beyond.

Given the emphasis on sightlines, one of our early decisions was to bring the footprint for the new porch further into the backyard so that the pond would be a focal point from the sitting area, Durokso explains. That said, the porch is much more a product of specific use requirements than a traditional L-shaped wraparound porch would have allowed.

The brand was established in 1997 in Itasca, Illinois, specializing in custom bath and showers designed for the remodeling market. Jeff Conner, who will continue in his role as President, acquired the company in 2004, having since led the company through a period of tremendous growth.

"By joining the Jacuzzi family, BathWraps will be positioned to continue our rapid growth by providing world-class products and support through our outstanding network of remodeling dealers," states Jeff Conner, President of BathWraps, "Additionally, we will be able to take advantage of many new opportunities by combining forces with Jacuzzi, along with our continued commitment to the success of our dealers. We also extend a special thank you to our employees, as we maintain our focus on industry-leading performance."

Now, BathWraps is focused on expanding its network of local dealers to help accommodate for the demand the brand is seeing. Business owners who sign on as BathWraps dealers will have the opportunity to not only bring the quick and easy bathroom transformation services to new markets nationwide, but they'll now be backed by both BathWraps and Jacuzzi. BathWraps dealers are typically business owners within other segments of the home improvement industry, including window, siding and sunroom companies and contractors, who are looking for ways to grow their current business.

"This transaction provides excellent opportunities to leverage growth from the combined strengths of Jacuzzi and BathWraps," stated Rowan. "None of this would be possible without the continued support of our employees, customers and suppliers, who continue to believe in the strength of our brands and our tremendous growth potential."

Jacuzzi was advised by Sphaeris Capital Management LLC, a specialist in middle market mergers and acquisitions, add-on acquisitions programs, and proprietary investments internationally.
