Developer Steve Dodson and restaurant owner Nobu Terauchi are building the two-story, 16,200-square-foot building on the southwest corner of Peoria Avenue and the Broken Arrow Expressway. It will be topped with an ambitious Japanese steak house and have space for as many as four retailers on the ground level.
The Zanmai restaurant will feature tall glass windows in the rear that face northwest toward the skyline.
Terauchi plans to build a high-end Japanese restaurant that includes 16 cooking stations with hibachi-style cooks entertaining diners.
"The view will be one of the best in the city, and we think it will be the coolest restaurant in the city for years," said Brian Freese, architect on the project.
The restaurant was placed on the second floor to allow for the downtown view and give space for street-front retail.
The new restaurant is the third dining place by Terauchi, owner of two Fuji Japanese Cuisine and Sushi Bar locations.
Terauchi opened his first Fuji restaurant at 71st Street and Memorial Drive in 1986, one of the first Japanese-style eateries in Tulsa.
Seven years ago, he opened the second Fuji restaurant in the Brookside district at 3739 S. Peoria Ave.
Zanmai, which means "enjoy" in Japanese, will be a departure from the midpriced restaurants that Terauchi has opened in the past.
He said he plans to sell premium American and Japanese selections of beef and create an Asian fusion menu. In all, the restaurant will seat about 200 people.

After twice failing to win final approval for his plans for a 13-acre parcel in North Glastonbury, developer John Sakon is submitting yet another proposal, this time for a hotel and retail space.
The newest proposal calls for the construction of a 93,615-square-foot hotel and 27,890 square feet of retail space on the land, located to the east of Main Street and west of Route 2. The plan will be presented Tuesday during a joint public hearing of the town council and town plan and zoning commission. The meeting will be held at 8 p.m. in town council chambers of town hall.
More than a year ago, Sakon received approval for a 67,690-square-foot project that would have included retail space, a 2,000-square-foot coffee shop and 5,600-square-foot and 4,135-square-foot "white napkin, upscale" restaurants. The plan never moved forward.
Sakon has been trying to develop the parcel along Main and Griswold streets for years. Plans in the past included a hotel, a lifestyle center with upscale shops and restaurants and a shopping mecca.
Traffic and the size of the development have always been a concern of residents along Griswold Street. Members of the Glastonbury Coalition for Sensible Growth, a grassroots effort by residents, have fought any large-scale projects.

Construction begins on affordable housing project in Oak Park
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., May 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII - News) announced today that its Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division broke ground on the shipyard's new Apprentice School campus. Apprentice School students, faculty and staff were joined by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, U.S. Reps. Scott Rigell, Bobby Scott and Rob Wittman, Newport News Mayor McKinley Price, HII leadership and other business and community leaders Thursday at the construction site for a ceremonial ground-breaking event.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://media.globenewswire.com/hii/mediagallery.html?pkgid=12729
Armada Hoffler, the City of Newport News, the Commonwealth of Virginia and NNS have partnered on the project, which will include an 80,000-square-foot school, workforce housing, retail space and a parking garage. The campus will be located between 31st and 34th streets, bordered by Washington and West avenues.
"Looking out across this technologically advanced shipyard -- the only place in America where our nation's aircraft carriers are assembled, and home to commercial and military shipbuilding facilities rivaled by none -- it is clear that America's long history of innovation and advanced manufacturing is still alive and well," said Gov. McDonnell. "The skills needed to create these engineering marvels cannot be learned haphazardly or in your average technical training program. Virginia is proud to partner with the company to create this new campus to house their program. This facility will provide a fertile ground to cultivate the skills and trades necessary to build the ships of today and tomorrow."
More than 100 faculty and staff teach 25 different programs and more than 75 course offerings at The Apprentice School. Since 1919, the programs have produced more than 9,600 graduates in support of NNS's operational needs. An apprenticeship is a formal training program that allows students to receive instruction and experience -- both theoretical and practical -- in the various aspects of a skilled trade.
"This project is a demonstration of HII's commitment to education and investing in our people," said HII President and CEO Mike Petters. "Make no mistake, we believe this commitment to workforce development is necessary because what we do as a heavy manufacturing company -- the products we build and the services we provide -- is a direct result of the skills, talent and capability of our 38,000 employees."
NNS President Matt Mulherin said, "This campus will provide a first-class learning facility for our apprentices, while also providing another significant step toward revitalizing downtown Newport News. It is yet another symbol that American manufacturing is alive and well in Newport News. Without the support of an engaged state and city -- and its leadership -- a large, industrial organization such as ours would not flourish. We appreciate the long-standing support and partnership the City of Newport News and the Commonwealth of Virginia have always shown us."
The Apprentice School attracts an average of 4,500 applicants per year for 280 openings. The school offers four- and five-year, tuition-free apprenticeships in 25 occupations to qualified men and women. Apprentices work a regular 40-hour week and are paid for all work, including time spent in academic classes. Through partnerships with Thomas Nelson Community College and Tidewater Community College, The Apprentice School's academic program provides the opportunity to earn associate's degrees in business administration, engineering and engineering technology.
"Our national defense depends on our Navy," said U.S. Rep. Scott, "and the work product of the graduates of The Apprentice School will serve as the backbone of the United States Navy. We all look forward to the growth and progress of the apprentice program and the impact that the apprentices will have on the future of shipbuilding and our nation."
Mayor Price said The Apprentice School project "represents a partnership of organizations which embraces the values of generations of citizens in Newport News and throughout the Hampton Roads region--quality education, superior work ethic and an exceptional quality of life." "We are proud to be the home of The Apprentice School and to have played a role in an endeavor which will create opportunities for years to come," he said.

Photo Release -- Newport News Shipbuilding Breaks Ground on New Apprentice School

U-T San Diego reporters may soon be sharing their space with cranes and construction crews as newspaper owner and developer Doug Manchester prepares to build a mixed-use development at the newspaper's Mission Valley property, according to notices surrounding the building.
According to the City of San Diego "notice of application," Manchester plans to build 198 residential condominium units, each with parking, 6,470 square feet of retail space, and 234,415 square feet of office space.
Since buying the paper formerly known as the Union-Tribune in November, Manchester has invested in the newspaper's headquarters building, adding a television studio and a restaurant on the lower floor. But many observers thought his primary interest in the newspaper was the real estate, and this move seems to give credibility to that notion.
Neither U-T San Diego Publisher John Lynch nor U-T San Diego editor Jeff Light immediately returned calls for comment.
At least one newsroom staffer was unaware of the project when reached for comment.
The San Diego County assessor values the 12.9-acre headquarters at $51 million, but its tax valuation hasn't changed in decades.
The move to build to add so much office space comes as the market for top-quality office space has tightened in recent months, though the project will likely need years to come to fruition.
Manchester previously confirmed that he paid $110 million to Beverly Hills-based private equity firm Platinum Equity to buy U-T San Diego, and that the paper was earning roughly $30 million by one measure ---- sometimes referred to as a company's EBITDA, an acronym for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
Manchester has a long history as a developer in the region, having tried to build hotels in Oceanside and in downtown San Diego, and having built the Manchester Grand Hyatt near the San Diego Convention Center.
The plans for the development at U-T headquarters must still go before the Mission Valley Planning Group and the San Diego Planning Commission, and receive approval from the San Diego City Council.

CHICAGO (CBS) A proposed retail and apartment complex in Boystown still isnt sitting well with its neighbors.
As WBBM Newsradios Lisa Fielding reports, following months of contentious meetings between community members and Ald. Alderman James Cappleman (46th), a plan to build 250 new rental apartments anchored by 46,000 square feet of retail space continues to move forward.
But many neighbors are not happy about it.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradios Lisa Fielding reports
We are still concerned with the current design and its impact to the neighborhood, including especially the value of units at the Gill Park Co-op. We are in favor of developing the parking lot, but we feel strongly that the current development is still too tall and dense, said Justin Wescott of Halsted Neighbors.
The proposed development would replace the parking lot on the corner of Halsted Street and Bradley Place in Boystown, next to the International House of Pancakes at 3760 N. Halsted St. that is popularly known as the Gayhop.
The parking lot is used by the 24-hour IHOP and the neighboring Faith Tabernacle Church, 3750 N. Halsted St.
Neither the church nor the IHOP would be affected by the construction.
Capplemans Web site displays floor plans and artists renderings for the development, which have been revised since they were first unveiled last fall.

Retail-Apartment Development Moving Forward Near Boystown IHOP
Update: This post initially mistated the amount of retail space at the proposed store. There would be 168,200 square feet of retail on the site.
Original Post: In a meeting expected to extend late into the evening, the Prince Georges District Council on Monday heard the first public testimony on a controversial proposal to build a mixed-used development that would include housing, a hotel and the countys first Whole Foods Market.
Despite the length of the meeting, however, no decision was expected on the matter.
Members of the District Council the name the County Council takes when it considers development-related matters heard from dozens of residents who oppose the plan unveiled last year by the Cafritz family. Supporters of the proposal were also at the hearing but in smaller numbers than those who oppose the plan.
I oppose the project because I believe its going to adversely affect this neighborhood, said Karen Prestegaard, who has lived in University Park for 23 years.
But Michael Herman, the former mayor of Riverdale Park, the community where the development would be built, said the Cafritz project was an incredible opportunity for the community that would enliven the Route 1 corridor.
The proposal calls for the construction of a mixed-use development that would include 995 units of multifamily housing, a 120-room hotel, 22,000 square feet of office space and 168,200 square feet of retail on a 36-acre wooded parcel along Route 1 just north of East-West Highway. Boosters including County Executive Rushern Baker (D) -- say the plan will bring much needed retail to a county that needs to expand its tax base beyond housing. Also, the hope is that a Whole Foods will send a signal to other prominent retailers that Prince Georges is a good place to do business.
Residents in the surrounding communities have taken a different view. While many say they like the idea of having a Whole Foods Market close by, they worry the development will swamp the already crowded Route 1 corridor with more traffic. They also fear the influx of new residents will overwhelm schools and tax police and fire services. Riverdale Park and University Park councils have voted to support the proposal while College Park officials have voted to oppose it.
Mondays proceeding was an evidentiary hearing, which differs from a regular public hearing in that those who testify are sworn in and could be cross-examined by lawyers from opposing sides. Indeed, at times the councils chambers felt like a courtroom with myriad lawyers objecting to some of the testimony. It was left to a hearing examiner to sustain or overrule the challenges.
The hearing began just after 10 a.m. Late in the afternoon, council members signaled they would be willing to meet until 10 p.m. in hopes of hearing the majority of the testimony, a spokesperson said.

Prince George’s Whole Foods project: No decision yet
The long-stalled North Point development is asking for more freedom to build its tall buildings close together. The developers have petitioned the city to adjust the areas with various height restrictions and ease up the space required between two buildings, as well as changes to parking requirements.
We can also add more open space and create a brand new retail plaza, said developer Tom OBrien, making his case to the City Council, which along with the Planning Board has a say in rezoning. So far, the council seems eager to accommodate development of the land between Lechmere and Charlestown.
Im glad to see its going to be developed. It did sit as a, I dont want to say distressed area for a very long amount of time, said Councilor Denise Simmons. They have made a commitment to continue to meet with the community.
The project to develop old Boston & Maine Railroad land into condos, commercial, lab and retail space has been in the works for about a decade and is partially complete. Work came to a halt, however, as the developer and the railroad became locked in lawsuits and the developer went bankrupt.
When a developer owned in part by former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson bought into the project about two years ago, a previous agreement for the developer to rebuild Lechmere Station was scrapped.
In a brief interview, OBrien, whose The HYM Investment Group represents Canjon-Johnson Urban Funds, said that the deal between the MBTA and the developer was rewritten as the scope of the MBTAs plans for Lechmere changed to include a potential Green Line Extension.
OBrien denied the widespread claim that a station rebuild was too expensive for the developer. He said the right-of-way the railroad is providing to the Green Line plus about $15 million is lucrative.
The previous developer had agreed to build that station in exchange for the property where the current station is located, said OBrien. The needs of the MBTA changed The T and we agreed on a different swap.
OBrien told the council the 45 acre property is permitted for 5.2 million square feet of mixed-use development. The amendments would allow for 150-foot to 200-foot developments along the Gilmore Bridge to Charlestown, according to a letter accompanying the changes.
Its been a project that has languished for a number of years here in Cambridge, said OBrien. He said he wanted residential construction to start later this year.
