Construction on the corner

For years the building at the corner of Pine Knot Avenue and Village Drive has been a shell of its former self. The building suffered extensive damage following winter rain storms and forced tenant Richard Millener to seek new digs for his photography business.

Now, with a revitalized Village shopping district, the building is getting a

face lift in time for the summer season ahead.

According to Jim Miller, director of building and planning for the city of Big Bear Lake, the owner is remodeling the location to create new retail space. Its going to be nice retail shop with an outdoor patio, I believe, Miller said. The building will feature a gambrel-style roof, he said.

Miller said he hopes the building will be ready for occupancy by the summer.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.Plans are moving forward for a $45 million mixed-use development project to bring more office, retail and living space to Downtown Grand Rapids.

The Downtown Development Authority approved the project, headed by Orion Construction. Its grown to 11 stories and 60 thousand square feet; larger than the original $28 million, five-story project presented last August.

This is a tough enterprise to do, John Wheeler with Orion Construction said last August.

Tough to get financed. Theres not a lot of comparable. We`re filling a need, we`re not creating a want. There are people who want to live down town. They want to park in the basement, take the elevator to the top floor. They want an experience to stay in their building, get out walk around, do the local shopping downtown instead of going to the suburbs. We`re going to provide those opportunities.

Much of the expansion is due in part to a new tenant, The Miller Johnson Law Firm, who is moving from the Calder Building on Monroe.

The project will now have space for 300 office employees, more than 100 residential units and ground level retail and restaurant space. Because the DDA expanded their tax increment financing by about a half million dollars Wednesday morning, Orion Construction plans to break ground this Spring.

Arena Place Plans Move Forward

The Canadian owners of the historic Golden Apple Dinner Theatre have pumped more than $600,000 into a renovation that will transform the old theater into three storefronts.

SARASOTA - The building that for decades housed the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre will soon hit the market as a new retail and restaurant complex.

The Canadian owners of the historic downtown structure have pumped more than $600,000 into a renovation that will transform the old theater into three storefronts.

Leaving touches of its 1940s roots, the new 11,783-square-foot retail collection will become one of the most notable commercial spaces available for lease in Sarasota when its doors open in six months, building representatives say.

It has been a massive undertaking, said John Harshman, president of commercial real estate brokerage Harshman & Co. Inc., who is listing the property.

This will bring it back to its shell keeping the historic qualities, while adding modernization.

The building at 25 N. Pineapple Ave. was constructed in 1948, and was home for years to Morrison's Cafeteria, which Elvis Presley was believed to frequent.

The Golden Apple opened there in the early 1970s after the downtown site changed hands for $115,000, court records show.

Theater founder Robert Turoff sold the property in February 2011 for $1.75 million to help pay debts. He had signed a multi-year lease with the new owner, but the theater was evicted in September 2012 after falling behind on its rent.

An attempt to reopen the theater last year was unsuccessful.

The West End production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time has transferred to a new London home after the reopening of the Apollo Theatre was delayed following the collapse of the venue's ceiling.

Almost 80 members of the audience were injured when a huge section of the historic building's roof gave way last month during a performance of the stage adaptation of Mark Haddon's novel.

The venue's owners had hoped to re-open the Apollo's doors by Monday, but decided to hold off as restoration work continues.

Producers of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time have now decided to move the play to the nearby Gielgud Theatre, with the run resuming on 24 June.

Nick Starr, executive director of the National Theatre, which first produced the play, says, "We are grateful to (Gielgud's owners) Delfont Mackintosh Theatres for providing us with another home on Shaftesbury Avenue for the show.... sadly the closure of the (Apollo's) gallery to enable its restoration means that the show no longer works economically there."

New Dorp Beach, NY (PRWEB) January 08, 2014

Nick Randazzo, a resident of New Dorp Beach on the south shore of Staten Island, is finally getting his home back on track with the help of 911 Restoration after a year of receiving inadequate funds and insurance money. Randazzo's home was severely flooded during Hurricane Sandy when the windows and doors could no longer keep the rising water outside at bay. By the time the storm had passed, Randazzo had nine feet of water in his basement. Even with some federal funds and insurance money, Randazzo still fell significantly short of the total repair cost necessary to restore the significant damage sustained to his home. The just released private funds came to the rescue, filling the financial gap so that restoration could finally get underway. The funding for the program comes from a variety of charities and foundations that have made large contributions to help New York residents still in need.

911 Restoration's expert flood damage technicians are currently in the New Dorp Beach home carefully assessing the damage and taking the necessary steps to get construction underway. From thoroughly removing all traces of remaining moisture to carefully separating and storing any undamaged items, 911 Restoration is dedicated to getting Mr. Randazzo's home back in shape. Mold can be an especially troubling problem when flooded areas are not completely dried in a timely manner. The company's mold removal experts are conducting thorough inspections to ensure that any mold that has formed in the basement in the past year is removed safely.

As more funding continues to be disseminated among those still in need, 911 Restoration will be leading the way in New York providing essential water restoration services to more and more homes in the area. With Hurricane Sandy striking over a year ago, the situation presents a unique challenge given the length of time many homes have been left unattended. In addition to mold inspections, 911 Restoration crews are paying special attention to any structural damage that long-term exposure to moisture may have caused in the interim so that these homes are completely safe and fully restored to their pre-storm conditions.

Hurricane Sandy's path of destruction affected countless homes in New York, and while it is unfortunate that so many people have been unable to secure adequate insurance money and have been left waiting, 911 Restoration is honored to be a part of the ongoing recovery process. With crews working 24/7 throughout the state, many will be getting their new year off to a great start with the help of new private funding and 911 Restoration.

LYNCHBURG, Va. -

Emergency repairs are almost finished at a Lynchburg retirement home.

Several water pipes burst at Bentley Commons senior living home Tuesday afternoon, soaking parts of the building and forcing all 122 residents to evacuate.

Most stayed with their families Tuesday night, but 23 were taken to a shelter at Blue Ridge Community Church in Forest.

Lynchburg firefighters and paramedics worked with the nursing home staff to make sure everyone got out safely.

"The residents were wonderful," said Debra Beamer, administrator of Bentley Commons. "They handled the situation very well, even though it was a very difficult time for them."

The damaged pipes have been replaced and a restoration service is cleaning the building. Beamer said additional work will be needed to replace sections of dry wall.

Residents returned to the home Wednesday afternoon.

It was used as a dumping ground by fly-tippers and on the verge of falling down after lying abandoned for 50 years.

Now the 18th century mill that supplied the world-famous Wedgwood Potteries industry has been transformed into a stunning family home.

The two-year rebuilding project in Staffordshire can be seen tonight on Channel 4s The Restoration Man, presented by architect George Clarke.

Owners chartered surveyor Alan Appleby and his wife Dora said they will be watching the programme from behind the sofa.

The Grade II-listed structure in Mill Street, Stone, had begun to collapse when the couple began the rescue project in 2011.

Mr Appleby said: George described it as knackered and my father, whos 95 and was in the construction business all his life, said he wouldnt touch it.

Even my surveyor friends said Do you know what youre doing? It was that bad.

The old building had been rocked to its roots over the decades but its given good service to a number of trades and industries.

Now weve given it a new lease of life, not only as our home but as a base for my own business.

The Applebys believed their project would be perfect material for The Restoration Man.
