Construction continues to move forward on Tower 300 at Kalea Bay.

Kalea Bay, the luxury residential high-rise community located on Vanderbilt Drive, two-tenths of a mile north of Wiggins Pass Road in North Naples, is nearing completion on the renovations of its Presentation Center.

We are on target open the newly remodeled center by the second week of July, said Inga Lodge, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kalea Bay.

The center will include new kitchen cabinetry, flooring and quartz countertops, which mirror the finishes in Tower 300, now under construction.

With just 10 units remaining in Tower 200 and closings slated for mid-August, the timing was perfect for the beginning of construction on its third spectacular high-rise tower.

Like our first two towers, Tower 300 will offer its residents phenomenal views of the Gulf of Mexico, not to mention spectacular onsite amenities, both on its roof, and in the communitys main amenity area, Lodge stated.

Tower 300 is 22 stories in height and includes 120 residences. Specifically, its 20 floors of residences over two floors of parking. Rooftop amenities are similar to those found in Tower 100 and 200 including a rooftop pool, open-air fitness center and a sky lounge.

The penthouse residences recently released offer incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico.

Six floor plans are available in Tower 300 ranging between three-bedroom plus den/three-and-a-half-baths to four-bedroom/ four-and-a-half-baths. The size of the residences ranges from 3,722 to 3,919 total square feet.

Each floor plan, following an open-concept design, allows the living, dining and kitchen areas to spill out onto an expansive lanai, creating a true outdoor living room.

Kitchens include such standard features that most consider upgrades such as luxury cabinetry, quartz countertops and a large island, as well as SubZero and Wolf appliances.

The master bedroom includes an over-sized walk-in closet while the master bath has his and hers vanities, quartz countertops, luxury cabinetry, a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower.

Kalea Bays main amenity area includes the communitys clubhouse with three separate pools, an indoor/outdoor restaurant, fitness center, open-air bar and Internet caf.

Additional residential features include floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that retract across the entire living area bringing the outdoors in. The large lanais are constructed with glass rails for uninterrupted views of the gulf. Smart home ready and fully equipped laundry rooms round out the list of features.

Residences in Tower 300 are currently priced from $1.5 million.

For the past couple of years, residents of Kalea Bay have been able to enjoy their communitys phenomenal clubhouse and the many amenities that surround it.

This clubhouse is truly the social and recreational centerpiece of the community, said Lodge. Residents and visitors cant help but be impressed as they drive into Kalea Bay, as the clubhouse provides not only a dramatic backdrop to the community, but is also the envy of many in the Naples area.

Kalea Bays 88,000-square-foot main amenity area is located on the north side of the large lake at the communitys entrance.

The rooftop amenities atop Tower 300 will include a pool, open-air fitness center and sky lounge.

The 25,000-square-foot clubhouse features three individual pools, including a resort pool, an adults-only pool and a childrens pool, plus an expansive pool deck, an open-air bar, an indoor/outdoor restaurant, a fitness center, the caf Bistro, a lakeside fire pit, kids game room and event lawn.

All three pools overlook the lake and provide a multitude of recreational options. Expansive sun decks with lounge chairs and native, tropical plants separate each of the three pools for the ultimate in privacy. If basking in the sun or taking a refreshing dip in the pool isnt on a residents schedule, perhaps meeting friends for lunch, dinner or drinks is.

We have the perfect place for all three, said Lodge. Our restaurants serve incredible meals throughout the day. And what better way to celebrate the good life in Florida than meeting family and friends for drinks while watching the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. This is what living in Florida is supposed to be.

Kalea Bays third tower features 120 luxury residences.

There are actually two restaurants at Kalea Bay: the Driftwood Caf and the Salt and Oak Restaurant. The Driftwood Caf is open for breakfast and lunch. The Salt and Oak Restaurant is designed for an elegant evening dining experience and includes such features as a private dining room, a banquet room and wine tasting room among others.

For those residents who have young children or grandchildren, the clubhouse will delight one and all with a teen lounge, complete with virtual reality and PS4 games, foosball, WiFi and multiple TVs, and a kids game room with child-size furniture, books, chalkboard and TVs.

Adjacent to the clubhouse lies the tennis pavilion with four Har-Tru tennis courts, as well as eight pickleball courts. Guest suites for overnight guests are also located near the clubhouse.

While the current state-of-the-art fitness center features Peloton bicycles, assorted strength machines, free weights and stretch area, Lodge recently announced that the communitys already outstanding amenities will be expanded to include a Wellness Center.

We have finalized our designs for our 14,000 square foot Wellness Center, she said. Dedicated to the health and well-being of our residents, the Wellness Center is expected to include a dedicated yoga studio, sauna, spin room and Pilates. The spa will include treatment rooms while locker facilities and a large cardio and free weight area are also planned.

According to Lodge, the construction of the Wellness Center is anticipated to begin late Summer 2020. For more information visit Kalea Bays onsite sales center. It is located on Vanderbilt Drive, two- tenths of a mile north of Wiggins Pass Road. For more information call (239) 793-0110 or visit KaleaBay. com.

Comprehensive Analysis on Construction Insurance Market based on types and application - 3rd Watch News

OTTAWA -- Residents and business owners in Little Italy are dealing with the impact of construction of stage 2 of LRT, but there are questions about the sustainability of the system, as much of the city's workforce is out of the office indefinitely.

For Trattoria Caffe Italia, the noise and blasting from construction of the new Gladstone Station is creating some challenges, just as they open their patio.

"It's definitely a bit loud for the customers!" says manager Jasmine Chan. "We have a wine cellar that has over 6,500 bottles of wine. Sometimes the bottle shake and we are worried they might fall, But they are all safe right now."

Crews are excavating rocks and blasting to widen the O-Train trench in order to construct a station and lengthen existing passing tracks on the Trillium Line.

The work comes even closer to designer Christopher Solar's parking lot.

"The land we are standing on is not actually the driveway to my parking lot, it's part of the railway right of way, so this is all going to be taken over for the construction site," he told CTV News on Tuesday.

The planning for stage 2 LRT was all done before the pandemic and before most people started working from home, raising questions about what the workforce will look like when the construction is complete.

However, the councillor for the area says there is still a need to keep expanding LRT.

"Regardless of what is going on in the pandemic I dont want to assume that LRT is no longer going to be necessary in order to ensure the sustainability of our city," said Kitchissippi ward councillor Jeff Leiper.

Leiper says the city is growing. New developments are being built nearby, intensifying the area.

"The only way it is sustainable is if people have reliable, convenient transit, and the only way to provide that is with LRT," he said.

Still, the noise and construction is cutting into an already difficult patio season and the staff at Trattoria Caffe Italia are looking forward to it being completed in 2022.

"It is not the ideal timing but our customers are really understanding," Chan said. "They take it as it is. It's a little extra noise, but adds to the ambiance!"

Farmington Three northern Utah counties say they are ready to start relaxing some restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic, and could be ready to open shuttered restaurants, gyms and other businesses May 1.

County officials say they are waiting for Herbert to release specific guidelines next week, but said theyll emphasize social distancing, increased cleanings and wearing face masks for businesses that could reopen in the beginning of May.

They say their new order could impact openings for everything from restaurants to retail outlets to spas and construction businesses. Guidelines for opening parks or holding events are expected to be released at a later date.

County officials say they're comfortable with starting to reopen businesses after looking at data, including the number of people in their counties who have COVID-19 and the local hospitals' capability to treat people who are ill with the virus.

"We have been effective," said Weber-Morgan Health Department Executive Director Brian Bennion. "I stand today excited, but still cautious. This is not over."

Like state officials, Bennion likened the soft opening to a "dimmer" instead of a "light switch."

"We're going to begin turning up the light," he said, "and moving forward."

County officials said they believe that by May 1, their areas will be at "moderate risk" and things can start to reopen.

"It is nice to perceive some light at the end of a difficult tunnel," said Morgan County Commissioner Robert McConnell.

The commissioners pushed back on criticism that officials went overboard initially in shuttering certain businesses like gyms and spas, and limiting restaurant services. Davis County Commissioner Lorene Kamalu said they "nailed it" when it came to ordering the closures.

This was all about timing, she said. And doing the right things at the right time. Because if you act too late, you have missed the opportunity. We were very intentional with the timing of each phase so far.

The northern Utah counties joined Salt Lake, Summit, Tooele and Wasatch counties in issuing stay-at-home orders in late Match. The governor opted for a directive instead encouraging residents statewide to stay home.

Other counties are also considering whether to ease up on restrictions beginning May 1. Summit County leaders made a similar announcement Tuesday though some feared it might be too soon to reopen businesses there because it is a tourist destination and has been a hot spot for the coronavirus.

Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson relaxed its countys order last week, saying it was no longer necessary for people to stay at home as often. She also said county leaders would evaluate in the coming weeks to see if some businesses could open May 1.

But Salt Lake Citys mayor is not ready to begin loosening stay-at-home restrictions quite yet.

Areas continue to see some of Utahs highest virus transmission rates, Mayor Erin Mendenhall said, so the city needs its own tailored and data-driven approach to the health crisis.

Our most vulnerable communities are the most severely impacted, Mendenhall said during a Monday teleconference with young Utah leaders.

She said the city would continue to monitor several benchmarks for the outbreak and work with newly available data from Salt Lake County Health Department officials.

Davis, Weber and Morgan counties want some restaurants and businesses to open as soon as May 1 - Salt Lake Tribune

On Tuesday night, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee laid out the outline for what he billed as the states COVID-19 recovery plan. In the televised address, Inslee described a phased approach that was more like the turning of a dial than the flip of a switch, as officials examine data to determine the best approach on lifting certain stay-at-home restrictions. The plan called for a ramping up of testing first and foremost (still hoping for help from the federal government on that front), as well mobilizing a team of contact tracers in the state acting like a fire brigade to identify new coronavirus cases and make sure those who were exposed are isolated. To date, there have been 12,282 cases in the state and 682 deaths.

Even if all goes well and the numbers of COVID-19 cases continue to decline, Inslee cautioned that many current restrictions would not be lifted by May 4, when the current stay-at-home order is set to expire. Three particular industries such as residential construction, elective surgeries, and outdoor recreation might be the first in line to get back to business, even before then. But restaurant dining rooms werent mentioned as part of the early reopening phase.

In fact, its unclear when the state will let restaurants and bars offer services beyond takeout and delivery. David Postman, Inslees chief of staff, tells Eater Seattle that the state is still working with the hospitality industry on what health restrictions may be involved to reopen, but says its too soon to say when those guidelines might be put in place or what exactly theyll look like. Inslee mentioned Tuesday night that information gleaned from other lower risk businesses when some restrictions are lifted could inform efforts elsewhere.

Inslees statements come as other states start rolling out more aggressive plans to reopen businesses. In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp announced that restaurants could open as soon as Monday, although that plan received pushback from many chefs and owners, concerned about the safety and welfare of their workers. Tennessee has also announced that the majority of its businesses could open on May 1. Meanwhile, California which is coordinating with Oregon and Washington on a shared vision for reopening West Coast economies has no end date for its stay-at-home order. California governor Gavin Newsom says the new normal for restaurants in the state may mean masks for servers and half-full dining rooms.

Whenever restaurants and bars do return for dine-in service in Washington, Seattleites should still expect significant changes to the way things were before. As Inslee mentioned in his plan, physical distancing will be required for all industries, and the state will set guidelines on rigorous cleaning, screening employees for illness, and providing personal protection equipment. Until we have a COVID-19 vaccine, workplaces are going to look much different, said Inslee.

SURVIVING THE PANDEMIC: A Conversation for Restaurants and Retail Businesses - I Love the Upper West Side

Desiree Seghetti-Sulpizio Commellini Estate and Event Restaurant 14715 N. Dartford Dr., Spokane

Commellini Estate Venue and Event Restaurant has been in my family for 79 years, since Albert and Leda Commellini first opened the business in 1941.

The venue was remodeled in 2009 and reopened as primarily a wedding and event venue. Since then, we have added cooking classes and our gourmet product line, which is sold on location and at local farmers markets.

Normally, we are preparing the venue for an upcoming busy season of both indoor and outdoor events. With COVID-19, we have been forced to reschedule our March 20 through May 4 events, but our coordinators are still working hard to help plan the future weddings and events, as we are optimistic that all events in June and beyond will continue as planned.

In the meantime, to keep our hardworking and deserving team members employed, we have launched a more robust line of Meal Kits 2 Go, along with our Gourmet Retail Line, and are offering curbside pickup. Our team has been extremely creative, even hosting a drive-thru Easter egg hunt to not only provide a fun and safe community event, but to help rev up business and marketing for our product line and other local businesses.

Jordan Tampien Barnwood Social LLC, Brothers Brewing LLC, Checkerboard Tavern LLC, and Too Small to Fail LLCSpokane

We all expected an economic correction at some point in 2020, but not like this.

It feels like the rug has been pulled out from underneath and youre left trying to pick up the pieces.

Were all trying as best as we can to create our new normal as quickly as possible, and more than ever were relying on the community for support and hope.

Not a lot of business plans account for a 76% reduction in revenue even in a worst-case scenario. Well, were all basically operating in that worst-case scenario right now.

But instead of dedicating any time feeling down about where we are, I spend the days being proactive about the future. Every day Im talking with my business partners Matt Goodwin and my brother, Joel, about finding new and more efficient ways to operate and better serve our clients.

Another portion of the day is dedicated to applying for Small Business Administration loans, reaching out to current and past clients while looking for opportunities for all of us to grow through acquisitions or the repurposing of existing properties.

The biggest local impact I see was the complete shutdown of most construction sites across the area creating an extended backlog of projects that will take several months to get going. Subcontractors have pushed their schedules out. So, when the stay-at-home order is eventually lifted, they will have to rehire, and then prioritize their projects, effectively stalling many good projects for our community.

Its going to be a time-consuming process.

Clay Cerna River City Kitchen, SweetBox Delivery; 221 W. First Ave.Spokane

Here are some of the ways were trying to help out the community in Spokane in the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic. During the stay-at-home order issued by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, were discounting our bagels by 50% and are offering Spokane residents a bagel loan eat now and pay later.

Were actually going to be extending our delivery range to include the rest of the U.S. soon, so please check out our SweetBox Delivery Facebook page, and website under the SweetBox Delivery name.

Another way were trying to help is through the commercial kitchen we opened a little while ago, River City Kitchen. Now through June, Ill be suspending rent for all users of the kitchen in order to help our small businesses stay afloat during this outbreak. The hope is that without overhead to worry about any food truck, caterer, etc., businesses might be able to afford to keep as much staff as possible employed.

Restaurants and Retail: In Their Own Words > Spokane - Spokane Journal of Business

Published 23 April 2020

Plans have been lodged for a new brewery, home brew school, bar and restaurant in Glasgows West End.

Inn House Brewery Company has asked Glasgow City Council for permission to open its brewery and beer experience centre on Finniestons Haugh Road.

Under the proposals, which have been designed by Graven, several businesses would operate from the premises, with the bar and restaurant catering for up to 200 customers.

Plans for a brewery and bar were previously granted consent in March 2017 but permission expires after three years.

The application said: With the expanse of residential accommodation in the Finnieston area the site is envisaged to provide a place for people to congregate and enjoy company in a transformed post-industrial building.

The area will be comfortably laid out in a lounge-style to encourage mixed-use activities such as meetings, dining, local group events, a break out space for those home brewing in the school and of course a venue for those here to drink great beer.

The sites principal use will be the brewery, with a production capacity of 7000 hectolitre per annum, which will be complemented by the restaurant and bar, a planning statement added. An off-licence and outdoor seating area are also included in the plans.

The statement said: The vision is to create an experience venue where multiple-use customers can enjoy the environs of the building.

Home brewers, beer drinkers, casual diners, locals, guest brewers and those wishing to learn about beer will all be accommodated for.

First came the I-74 bridge construction. Then came the coronavirus pandemic.

MOLINE, Ill. Fans of Bass Street Chop House only have a few days left to get their favorite dishes. The restaurant is closing at the end of the day Saturday, April 18.

"I don't think there's a single business in downtown Moline that's gonna tell you they're not hurting," managing partner Jeff Harrop says.

The Chop House announced Friday on Facebook that they'd be closing after 14 years on River Drive.

"The hardest part of the decision were the employees," Harrop says. "We've worked here together a long time and the employees here made the restaurant."

But the years have taken their toll on the restaurant. Harrop says construction in downtown Moline, then work on the new I-74 bridge kept traffic and people away.

Bass Street was hit again in the past few months having to close the dining room because of the coronavirus. They're still completing carry-out orders until Saturday.

"The coronavirus is not helping anyone," Harrop says. "We're all in the same boat and we certainly had the opportunity to do the PPP loans, but again at the end of that, we still don't have the market we had a few years back."

Looking forward, Harrop says he and his partners will focus on their new restaurant in East Moline: the Combine by the Bend Hotel. That restaurant has been shut down because of the virus but will soon reopen for carry-out in the coming weeks.

Harrop hopes all 31 employees of Bass Stree can move to work at the Combine.

"It's been rewarding for making such a hard decision and having such a positive response from the people in Quad Cities," he says. "It was very nice. They've been very, very positive of the experiences they've had with us and disappointed we'll be leaving."

Harrop says someday he'd reopen a restaurant like the Chop House if the opportunity and market presented itself.
