Life in Miami Beach is All About Art
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 11, 2013
The only new-construction, for-sale housing opportunity in Downtown Los Angeles is coming on the market Jan. 11 when Warehouse No. 1, the final phase of Barker Block, debuts in the Arts District.
The Kor Group, the developer in partnership with Blackstone and CityView, is creating 68 adaptive reuse lofts that will add an additional 72,599 square-feet to the existing 242 live/work lofts in the neighboring building that was completed in 2007.
Affordably priced from $400,000, the one- and two-story lofts at Warehouse No.1 are housed in a reinvented and restored early 20th-century Barker Bros. Furniture factory and warehouse. The Kor Group is preserving the buildings original details including exposed brick, heavy timber beams and columns, wood and concrete floors. One-story lofts range in size from 679 to 2,000+ square-feet while two-story lofts range from 1,134 to 1,300+ square-feet. Construction is nearly finished and completion is expected late December 2013.
Sales will begin during the grand opening weekend on Saturday, Jan. 11 and Sunday, Jan. 12 from 10am to 6pm where there will be seasonal hors doeuvres, craft beer and wine, music, valet parking, tours of the property and lenders on-site. Barker Block is in the process of procuring its final FNMA approval and loans with as little as five percent down will be available for qualified buyers.
We are thrilled to bring Warehouse No.1 to market this January. What we have been able to achieve by preserving the historic elements and fine craftsmanship of this landmark buildingand integrating those virtues with modern comforts and conveniencesoffers outstanding and lasting value for prospective homeowners, says Tripp DuBois of The Kor Group, creators of the iconic Eastern Columbia and Viceroy Santa Monica. The Kor Group is committed to creating sustainable, well-designed, and thoughtful places to live and work, and Warehouse No.1 is a project of which we are exceptionally proud. In this second and final phase of Barker Block, buyers will experience the inimitable and authentic spirit and character of the buildings vintage past, as well as innovative amenities that exceed any other residential offering in the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles.
Unique to Warehouse No. 1, select residences will include oversized windows, private patios and balconies, two-story open floor plans, spacious closets and ceiling heights up to 18 feet. All lofts have interior details such as quartz kitchen countertops with custom wood cabinetry and Jenn-Air stainless steel appliance packages with gas ranges. Spacious bathrooms include oversized soaking tubs with ceramic tile walls, flooring and vanity lighting.
The lofts also incorporate new technology features like the convenience of Nest programmable thermostats and charging stations with USB ports. In reclaiming, renovating and repurposing this historic building, The Kor Group is preserving elements of character while delivering the environmentally-friendly benefits of removing fewer raw materials from the Earth. These energy-efficient homes will utilize insulated dual pane windows and Energy Star appliances.
Several new amenities for owners are being added in the final phase including the Warehouse No. 1 Gallery, a dynamic arts and events space curated by the Barker Block community that features a versatile social space with handcrafted hanging chairs. Other new additions include a welcoming garden-themed outdoor lounge complete with green canopy, water fountain, fireplace, grills and intimate seating areas for dining and conversation. The open-air courtyard with foliage incorporates unique touches such as hammocks and love seats suspended from rafters and decorative lighting to add charm and style.
Existing amenities include a resort-style rooftop deck with pool, spa, private cabanas, sunning lounge, sitting and gathering areas, outdoor fireplace and privacy landscaping that overlooks the city skyline, a fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, onsite, controlled parking, a formal reception lobby with secured access and 24/7 security.

Barker Block Brings Only New-Construction, For-Sale Housing Opportunity to the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District with ...
BROOKFIELD, CT Acacia Middle School, located in Hemet, Calif., is dedicated to providing a rigorous education program founded upon the concept of Cougar P.R.I.D.E: Positive, Respectful, Individuals and Dedicated to Excellence. In recent years, the 70-year-old school has seen a significant growth in its student population and, to provide students with a safe and comfortable learning environment, the facility chose to undergo extensive improvements to the west side of its campus, including a new driveway and parking lot, classroom modernization and construction of a new gymnasium.
The repairs and improvements would be carried out in three separate phases and would include a redesign of the schools current stormwater management system. Initially, a drainage system was developed to hold most of the runoff in underground systems; however, it was determined that after a storm, some of the runoff might pump back onto the street. Engineers from Tory R. Walker Engineering, Inc. of Vista, Calif., who specialize in hydrology and optimization, realized that the runoff would exceed its peak flow to the street if nothing was done. The engineers suggested revising the design to include hydraulic principles and eliminating the pumping system. They instead proposed to use a system that would drain largely by gravity.
The engineers faced a number of stormwater management challenges. The site is very flat, and there is no onsite drainage system. In addition, the flat terrain would make it difficult for some areas to drain by gravity when the water is directed into an underground system because the site lacks an MS4 underground drainage pipe.
The area just a bit further from the lowest elevation point in the school has enough topographic difference to drain by gravity, but the portion closest to the street did not, said Luis A. Parra, PhD, PE, CPSWQ, D.WRE, ToR, Senior Project Manager at Tory R. Walker Engineering, Inc. In this case, we designed the system so it would drain by gravity up until a certain point and from that point on it would percolate into the soil.
A three-basin system was designed to drain as much water volume by gravity as possible. Water that cannot be drained by gravity is directed to the parking lot next to the street. The first two basins are hydraulically connected and a third long basin was added in lieu of a drainage pipe for drainage considerations and to enhance infiltration. Using this type of system eliminated the need for a pumping system and any associated maintenance. The use of gravity helps to get rid of runoff quickly after treatment and only a small portion of the water will need to infiltrate into the soil to drain. The hydraulic system maximizes the use of the limited space, while providing the school with a significant cost savings.
CULTECs Recharger V8HD plastic subsurface chamber was ultimately selected for the job as it provided a balance of maximizing storage while using a small footprint, and best satisfied the requirements of the schools site. Each chamber measures 32 inches high and 60 inches wide and can hold a minimum of about 100 cubic feet of water, with a bare chamber capacity of 8.68 cubic feet per linear foot.
The system included a total of 586 units of the Recharger V8HD and provided a storage volume of 58,383 cubic feet. The chambers are divided up into three separate beds, one of which is located beneath a grassy area dedicated to a playground and the other two are installed beneath parking lots. A pretreatment system consisting of a vortex pre-filter was installed with the CULTEC chambers to allow for maintenance at a single point. The filter extends the useful life of the underground system by trapping oils, large sediment particles and other debris before they can reach the chambers.
The new stormwater system had to accommodate a large volume of runoff because we can get a lot of rainfall in this area, said Mike Houghton, contractor with Genesis Construction that put the system in. CULTECs chambers provided the storage we needed. Plus, they fit together and install very easily, and you cant beat their integrity.
