Iconic Stokehouse restaurant is torn down following Friday night's blaze, with Port Phillip mayor Amanda Stevens promising "the best possible outcome" for the venue's future. Nine News.

Architects say the fire that burnt down St Kilda's much-loved Stokehouse restaurant on Friday night has provided an opportunity to build a new landmark beach destination on the foreshore.

''It's about time inner Melbourne had a really exciting piece of beach architecture,'' said Philip Goad, professor of architecture at Melbourne University.

Hundreds of people watched on Friday night as a fire that took hold in the restaurant's kitchen razed the building. Port Phillip Council has demolished the remains.

And, like the debate following the St Kilda Pier kiosk fire in 2003, locals and urban design experts are divided over what should be rebuilt on the Stokehouse site: a heritage replica of the early 1900s building or a contemporary venue.

''I would like to see a similar process to the one engaged in to rebuild the historic St Kilda pier kiosk,'' deputy mayor and local councillor for the area Serge Thomann said.

The restaurant sat on Crown land, and the state government and the council in conjunction with the Van Haandel Group, which holds a 21-year lease over the site, will decide what happens.

4th Annual 'Architects For Animals' Raises Money, Awareness For NYC Feral Cat Initiative January 26, 2014 5:00 AM

Receive News, Politics, and Entertainment Headlines Each Morning.

New York (CBS New York) The fourth annual Architects For Animals: Giving Shelter event takes place on Thursday, January 30th at Manhattans Steelcase Showroom at 4 Columbus Circle.

This fundraiser will benefit the Mayors Alliance For New York Citys Animals and will feature nine outdoor cat shelters designed and created by some of the citys leading architectural firms.

Check out video from the 2013 event in this episode of All For Animals with 1010WINS Susan Richard:

According to the Mayors Alliance, these imaginatively designed yet practical structures will keep cats safe and warm during the winter months. Following the exhibition, the shelters will be installed in pre-determined outdoor locations throughout New York City where colonies of community cats are cared for by certified caretakers. All of the cats have undergone TNR. Trap, neuter, return, Alliance President Jane Hoffman told 1010 WINS, is the key to keeping down cat intake at Animal Care and Control, so its really crucial to our whole mission of reducing euthanasia at our city shelters.

A work site near S.W. 37th and S.W. Wanamaker will become a retail building, its owner said.

Scott Nellis, of Topeka, confirmed a company owned by him is behind a construction project next to CoreFirst Bank, 3701 S.W. Wanamaker. Topekans who drive by the site had called The Topeka Capital-Journal asking for information about what would be built there.

Nellis said he has plans for an 8,000-square-foot retail building, which likely would accommodate multiple tenants. He said he hopes the building will be finished by June.

Many people who live in Topekas southwest outskirts pass by the intersection every day as they go to and from work, Nellis said, so he sees an opportunity to be the first and last retail development as they travel along Wanamaker.

Im excited to be able to provide sort of a south gate to the city, he said. Theres quite a lot of cars that pass by there every day.

Nellis said he hasnt signed any leases with tenants yet, and people who are interested in renting space can email him at scott@nellis.me.

Business classes

offered in February

Go Topeka is holding three classes and a networking meeting for current and aspiring small business owners in February.

Business owners who want more information about taxes can attend a free workshop at 8:30 a.m. Feb. 13 at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th. Gary Knoll and Brad Koehn, of Berberich Trahan & Co., will share basic information about filing business taxes and how recent changes to tax laws will impact business owners.

Business Watch: Construction site will become retail building

FLORENCE, S.C. The developer for Florence Crossing Center, a new shopping center off David H. McLeod Boulevard with more than 87,000 square feet of retail space, said Panera Bread, Bonefish Grill and Chick-fil-A will open with Academy Sports and Outdoors by the end of the year.

Justin Morris, owner representative of the Seitz Group Inc., said Thursday other businesses also setting up shop at Florence Crossing are Party City, Discount Tire and a few other smaller retailers.

After being contacted, Panera Bread did not want to confirm the location, saying through a spokesman, Panera is continually evaluating real estate opportunities in Florence. However we cannot confirm interest in a specific location at this time.

The Chick-fil-A corporate office did not return any phone calls.

Florence Chick-fil-A owners said they had not been informed of a new restaurant opening. The proposed new location is barely a stones throw away from two Chick-fil-A locations inside and outside Magnolia Mall.

Its news to me. Im not aware of it, David Pate, owner of Magnolia Mall Chick-fil-A, said.

Months ago there was talk of a Cheddars restaurant opening on the corner of Florence Crossing. But Morris said negotiations broke down, and Chick-fil-A showed strong interest.

Morris said the former Pepsi Bottling site, across from Virginia College, should be fully developed in four to five months.

Weve sold or leased all the parcels. Its ready to go for them to come build, he said. Its going to be an awesome site and great for Florence. Everyone weve worked with has made it easy to get things done. The buildings will go up extremely quick.

Morris said his company is in final negotiations with Salsaritas, Sport Clips and Radio Shack to fill out the remaining space.

BINTULU: Naim Land Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Naim Holdings Bhd, one of Malaysias leading developers and contractors, signed a contract with Sinohydro Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd, for the Chinese company to do sub-structure works for Bintulu Paragons Phase 1A here yesterday.

Sinohydro Corporation is a Chinese state-owned hydropower, engineering and construction company.

Bintulu Paragon, the largest integrated development to impact Bintulu, will integrate residential, business, retail and hospitality components.

Upon completion, it will provide 1.4 million square feet of retail space, Small Office Versatile Office (SOVO) and office suites, condominium towers, corporate office towers and two hotels.

In a press statement, Naims deputy managing director Christina Wong explained that the sub-structure works were those in relation to Bintulu Paragons Street Mall, Small Office Versatile Office (SOVO) and hotel development components, which were within the Phase 1A section of the development.

Since the launch of Street Mall and SOVO units, we have received encouraging response from the Bintulu community, recording average take-up of more than 50 per cent. Initial piling works for these components are progressing on track, she said.

Wong further elaborated that under the contract with Sinohydro, the scope of works involved construction of the lower ground RC podium structure comprising pilecaps, upper ground slab, pipe sleeves, openings, pits and earthing works.

All works are expected to take around seven months to complete, she said.

She also added that Naims collaboration with Sinohydro demonstrated Naims commitment in maintaining its standing as a developer and contractor of quality.

We have previously collaborated with Sinohydro for three projects, namely the Bengoh Dam in Padawan, the 275KV Overhead Transmission Line from Bakun Hydroelectric Dam to Samalaju Industrial Zone in Bintulu and the construction of Sibu-Julau road.

(The Chief Minister is returning)

NAGPUR: Amid ongoing stir by AICC Secretary Sanjay Nirupam demanding reduction of power tariff in Mumbai, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar today said that the government may take a final call on the issue in its state Cabinet meet scheduled on January 29.

"The government is aware of the agitation in Mumbai by Congress MPs over reduction of power tariff and a decision is soon expected when Chief Minister Prithiviraj Chavan returns from World Economic Forum meeting in Davos," Pawar, who also holds the Power portfolio, told reporters here.

The Chief Minister is returning tonight and after the Republic Day celebrations, the government will look into the demand for reduction in tariff and take a decision in the next cabinet, he added. Pawar said the state government has no direct role in fixing the power tariff and the responsibility lies with Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC).

The state government is already reeling under financial burden upto Rs 15,000 crore on various subsidies in power bills, he said. In some parts of Mumbai, where electricity is supplied by Tatas, the tariff between 0 to 100 unit is less than the electricity supplied to backward Gadchiroli district, the minister said. To a query, Pawar said the state government will have to shoulder an additional burden of Rs 8,400 crore annually on account of power tariff reduction upto to 20 per cent.

The Maharashtra Cabinet had last week decided that the concession of 20 pc power tariff cut would be applicable to consumers with consumption of less than 300 units. The reduction in power tariff will not be applicable in the metropolis where players are other than MahaVitaran supply power. Mumbai consumers get power supply from Tata Power, Reliance Infrastructure and Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport undertaking.
