    Delay in Westdale Demolition also Delaying Plans on Edge of Mall Property - September 14, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa- Westdale Mall demolition and renovation plans are at a standstill after J.C. Penney Co. rejected changes to the entire mall. That apparent business standoff, first reported Thursday, is also impacting other businesses outside the main mall itself.

    Frew Development Group is leading the push to redevelop the mall. The city of Cedar Rapids has also committed to $5 million in upfront development costs to launch the demolition effort. According to commercial realtors familiar with the situation, J.C. Penney is the only tenant with the right to have a say about physical changes to the rest of the mall. Both Frew Development and Penneys have so far been unable to reach a deal.

    The impact to other businesses is connected with the delay in demolition. Frey Development was planning to knock down the old Montgomery Ward building, which was used most recently as offices by Linn County government, this fall. But another part of the fall work was beginning preparation of a new ring road around the exterior of the mall property.

    Scott Olson, a Cedar Rapids city council member and commercial realtor, said he had three clients lined up ready to start projects of their own once the redevelopment of the mall reached a certain point. One of the prospects was a tenant for whats usually called outparcels along the edge of the mall property.

    Putting off work on the ring road will push back completion of other development, possibly until 2015.

    However, Olson said he has hope those businesses, eager to do their own projects in connection with a revamped mall property, will be willing to wait.

    I think they will still be there a year from now. However, again, it delays their plans and it delays the malls plans not to have this underway soon, Olson said.

    The ring road delay wont impact everyone. One official with Hunter Companies, developers of one strip mall site on the edge of the mall, said it wont impact what they plan to do. As a stand-alone development, most of the project already exists and draws its own customers. A planned expansion is already underway.

    Lisa Rowe, Westdale general manager, said while Frew Development wont start demolition work as soon as planned developers anticipate catching up with where the project was expected to be by the end of 2014.

    Demolition sweeps Newcomb chimney out of existence - September 14, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    QUINCY, ILL. -- Demolition continued Friday, a week after a late-night fire ripped through the Newcomb Hotel in downtown Quincy.

    The work shifted its focus toward tearing down a large, 80-footchimney at the rear of the now mostly demolished structure.

    "They're taking that thing down by hand,"Director of Building InspectionMichael Seaver said. "We felt it was probably the safest approach. We looked at all sorts of scenarios and we really felt like this was the only way that it could be done safely, even though it will take more time."

    Police and fire investigators still haven't discovered what sparked the Sept. 6 fire that destroyed the long-vacant historic hotel. The fire came just under a week after city officials said it had a tentative developer for the building that is now tangled up in a foreclosure lawsuit and safety citations filed by the city.

    The building owner, Skokie, Ill. developer Victor Horowitz of Newcomb Realty LLC, said he doesn't wish to speak about the hotel due to the ongoing legal battle with the city.

    The city has pegged the cost estimate of the demolition at up to $500,000, but Mayor Kyle Moore and other city officials have said that estimate could change.

    Seaver said that the city received a copy of a 2011 EPA asbestos study that says that there was only a negligible amount of asbestos in the building.

    "We can treat all of the material as the demolition proceeds." said Seaver.

    As for the cleanup of the site once it's secured, Seaver said that's a decision that the city council will eventually have to make. The Department of Inspection hopes to have a request for salvage proposals sent to the city finance committee on Monday. Once that is approved, the city can begin accepting bids for site cleanup.

    Seaver also said it's too early to tell whether any of the materials from the building can be salvaged for future use or sale.

    Philpott blaze house demolition due - September 13, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    12 September 2013 Last updated at 07:42 ET

    Demolition of a house where six children were killed in a blaze set by their parents Mick and Mairead Philpott, is due to begin.

    The Philpotts were jailed in April, along with friend Paul Mosley, after being convicted of six counts of manslaughter.

    The demolition work is expected to take about three weeks to complete.

    Derby City Council said more housing will be built on the site of 18 Victory Road and the neighbouring house.

    A council spokeswoman said: "Residents living in close proximity to the properties have been informed."

    Simon Hare Reporter, BBC East Midlands Today

    Some people suggested a garden of remembrance should replace the house. Those living nearby didn't want that. They feared it could become a shrine and a magnet for anti-social behaviour.

    There is already a children's playground elsewhere dedicated to the memory of the six children. So, alternative housing of some sort will replace the property where they died at the hands of their parents and a family friend.

    A petition had called for a memorial garden to be built on the site, but local residents and the council decided they did not want a permanent reminder.

    Demolition of former Dayton Daily News building shuts street - September 13, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The demolition of the former Dayton Daily News building caused the brief shutdown of Ludlow Street on Thursday afternoon when chunks of concrete worked loose.

    Chunks of brick and concrete fell out onto Ludlow when the remnants of the building shifted. The debris hit the street just before 6 p.m.

    A Dayton police officer, who was driving by the project site, saw the incident and had the street shut down from Third to Fourth streets.

    No one was injured. Ludlow was reopened at about 6:30 p.m.

    The razing of the former Daily News building, at Fourth and Ludlow streets, began on Aug. 20. A historic portion of the newspaper building -- the "bank" building and a piece of the Fourth Street facade, which are on the National Register of Historic Places -- will be preserved.

    Part of the non-historic section of the building was brought down in mid-August with the implosion of the 12-story Schwind Building, 25-27 S. Ludlow St. The demolition, which will make room for a student housing development, should be wrapped up by early December.
