Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Here's why there's a backlog of claims for unemployment and why it's only getting worse. USA TODAY

Joshua Sinko can see the jobless benefits sitting in his online account. But he can't access them.

Joshua Sinko has cooked in high-end restaurants, fished oncommercial boats, sold bicyclesand built houses.

For the past eight years, the 43-year-old established himself in Columbus as a remodeling and restoration expert the guy you call if you need a bathroom overhauled,or a deck rebuilt. He's made a career oflong hours and a versatileskill set.

"I've never asked for anything, because it seems like when times are rough,you just go out and put your nose to the grindstone, and make it happen," Sinko said this week."Youdon't expect handouts."

Once, in 2016, Sinko broke two bones inhis back after falling through a ceiling and was back on the job five days later. But when the first coronavirus cases struck Mississippi in mid-March, he knew he was out of options.The remodeling work "just dried up," and no onewas hiring for other jobs.

For the first time, he would be forced to collect unemployment.

But more than two months after applying, Sinkostill hasn't received benefits. He sees the money sitting online in his Mississippi Department of Employment Security account, but can't get his hands on it. Over a recent two weeks, he spent 27 hours on hold with the agency and got fewsolid answers.

The several thousand dollars Sinko saved up "for a rainy day" quickly evaporated. His bank accounts are now totally emptyone overdrafted by 67 cents and remodeling jobs are likely still days or weeks off.

"I'm at my breaking point and on the verge of being homeless here," Sinko wrote to the Clarion Ledger earlier this month.

Sinko is far from alone.

More than two months into the coronavirus crisis, and in every corner of the state, Mississippians are strugglingto apply for and obtain unemploymentbenefits. They face an overwhelmed and glitchy computer and phone system, and an agency with dozens of new employees still learning the nuances of the state's unemployment laws.

State leaders are aware of the problem. MDES Executive Director Jackie Turner has discussed the agency's issues several times publicly, including before state legislators earlier this month.

Turner has said the department brought on hundreds of new staff and volunteers, including from other agencies, to help field calls. It's sought to quickly train them on how to answer questions and resolve problems, she said, and taken other steps to streamline the claims process.

Gov. Tate Reeves ordered certain requirements relaxed for those seeking assistance during the coronavirus, such as temporarily eliminating the one-week waiting period, and nixing the work-search mandate.

But the agency is sometimes sending mixed messages on these changes. Despite Reeves' order, it hassent letters to recipients stating theystill need to prove they are searching for a job. Online questionnaires that unemployed or furloughed people must fill out weekly to keep receiving assistance include confusing language, with some instructionsunclear.

And the phone line problems persist: Applicants report waiting on hold for hours, or a constant busy signal, or reaching a person only for the line to go dead. Even whenthey are approved, many complain of waiting weeks before the money shows up in their bank accounts or on a state-issued debit card.

Meanwhile, a wave of new unemployment claims continues to arrive each week, even as Reeves slowly reopens the economy. More than 270,000 unemployment claims have been reported by the state since the crisis began in mid-March, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Last week,another 23,697 Mississippians applied for unemployment, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. In a normal week, before the pandemic, the number was below 1,000.

Stories of Mississippians fed up with the state's unemployment systemaren't hard to come by.

In Corinth, Angie Sorrell was forced home from her fast food job in mid-March after feeling sick she's still unsure if it was coronavirus and applied for unemployment shortly after. Her claim was placed under investigation, however, and was only approved about two months lateraftershe said she threatened to call the mayor and media about the delays.

Sorrellsaid the wait was so long she's already returned to work at Wendy's part-time. The 40-year-oldstill hasn't received her first benefit check, and she already missed two rent payments due to the lost income. Her landlord says if she misses another, she has to leave.

Im scared of being kicked out on the streets," said Sorrell, who added her boyfriend has faced similar delays receiving benefits.

In Oxford, Sara Hill was recently down to 52 cents in her bank account after losing her server job at Ajax Diner. The 22-year-oldfiled her claim April 5, and there appearedto be money in her unemployment account but she hadn't received it, and could not reach anyone on the phone for help. She enlisted family members to call, too. No one could get through.

Last week, more than a month after she applied,her first payment "just kind of showed up." She never did talk to anyone at MDES.She's still waiting for Ajax to reopen.

"I'm a 22-year-old from a middle class family, but what about people with children?" Hill said, adding the long wait for funds and leaning on her parents for help took a toll on her mental health.

In Biloxi, James Murphy is caughtin limbo between unemployment agencies in Mississippi and Florida, where he recently lived, and he has yet to receive assistance from either state after being laid off in late March.

Mississippi says it can't help, given his last full-time jobwas in Florida. But Florida hasn't processed his claim, or transferred the necessary funds to Mississippi, and he can't get through to figure out why. He's turned to family and friends for financial help while he waits.

I'm not even sure where were going to go from here, said Murphy, 48, who had recently moved to Mississippi hoping to land a casino job."You're at the mercy of the state, or at the mercy of the federal government, to pass the next rule."

Many reportthey are struggling to pay bills or buy food. One man wrote to the Clarion Ledger that he was no longerable to afford rent, adding he planned to live "in the wild by means I'm not yet sure of."

Sinko sees about $5,000 in benefits in his online account that he still can't access. MDEStexts him frequently saying his claim has been processed butno money comes through.

He first signed up to receive the money through direct deposit. When that didn't work, he called MDES and talked to an employee who said he wasn't allowed to change to the debit card form of paymentthat he must stick with the form of payment he already signed up for.

That's not true, however, and Sinko said another employee later clarified he could switchto the debit card, so he did. But now he's not being paid on the debit card, either, and the debit card vendor MDES told him to speak with didn't have his information on file.

"I'm not getting rich out here," Sinko said of his remodeling job. "I'vehave never asked for anything. The one time you ask for something in life ... it's frustrating."

When he's not calling MDES, Sinko said he's mowed a local preacher's yard, tried his hand at woodturning, and tested new recipes though the cooking is less ambitious now that money is running low.

He also has a few leads on remodeling jobs. But he isn't sure how he'll pay for thematerials upfront when his bank accounts are empty, noting "you have to have money to make money."

"My gas light's on in my truck, I'm 67 cents in the hole, and I'm just frustrated," Sinko said. "I'm gonna call again, and get no answers."

A rendering of Monday Properties' project at 2000 North Beauregard St. in Alexandria.

The coronavirus pandemic has not stopped developers from starting new D.C. projects, with the latest groundbreaking coming in westernAlexandria.

Monday Properties announced Tuesday it secured a $66.8M construction loan from EagleBank and broke ground on the development at 2000 North Beauregard St.

Theproject is planned to include300 units in six toseven stories of wood-frame construction atop a two-level concrete podium. The apartments will be wrapped around an internal, 420-space parking garage.

The site, near the intersection of Beauregard Street and Seminary Road, previously housed an aging office building. Monday Properties acquiredit in 2017 and receivedAlexandria City Council approval for the conversion in May 2019.

The property is located in an opportunity zone, and Monday Properties brought on an equity partner thatwill benefit from the federal tax incentive program. Through a spokesperson, Monday declined to disclosethe name of the partner.

EagleBank Senior Vice President Bryan Leigh originated the loan. It is the latest in a series of D.C.-area projects the bank has financed during the pandemic, including projectsin Greenbelt, Deanwood and Northwest D.C. Several additional projects have received financingand broken ground in recent months, as D.C.-area jurisdictions allowed construction to continueduring stay-at-home orders.

Monday Properties is also planningto replace two Rosslynoffice buildings with multifamily towers. The developer owns a large portfolio of office buildings in the Rosslyn area, including the 1812 North Moore tower that landed Nestlin 2017.

This project will help meet a critical need for new housing in the region, and we could not be more pleased to have closed our financing and started construction on this exciting development, Monday Properties Vice President of Development Frank Craighill said in a release. Were optimistic that this project will catalyze further development in the area and are proud to deliver new, Class-A apartments to residents in early 2022.

Monday Properties Closes Financing To Begin Construction On Alexandria Apartment Building - Bisnow

Six million square feet of expensive, newly-minted and as-yet unleased office space coming to market in the midst of one of New York Citys most catastrophic times might sound like too big a pill to swallow.

Leading brokers such as Savills David Goldstein had downbeat takes on the new developments prospects in a recent Commercial Observer article. The New York Times foresaw a reckoning for real estate if more companies decide to let their employees work from home.

But things have looked bleak before, and its time to give the citys remarkable regenerative powers a fair shot.

On paper, the future of New York City office leasing, especially for new development, might appear dismal. Of some 12.8 million square feet of new product now in construction and due to open by 2023, only 53 percent is pre-leased, according to CBRE.

The statewide pause has halted work on nearly-finished towers, adding another layer of uncertainty for all parties. Tenants are retrenching. Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman said that working remotely has worked so well that his firm will shrink its footprint. Twitter announced it would let all its employees work from home permanently. Mark Zuckerberg said he aims to have 50 percent of Facebook employees work from home within ten years.

In such a fear-ridden climate, when the coronavirus has only been contained by extreme social distancing and no vaccine has yet been developed, what tenant in its right mind is going to sign large leases in new buildings that command net effective rents of up to $200 per square foot?

Although the towers have already signed marquee name occupiers such as Warner Media, BlackRock, Carlyle Group and Cravath Swaine, what will happen to unleased floors at One Vanderbilt, 50 Hudson Yards and 66 Hudson Boulevard, aka The Spiral?

Could failure to find tenants sink their developers?

But theres a big difference between on paper and in bricks and mortar reality. Theres likely going to be a big difference in the market between today and two years, or even one year, and perhaps even six months from now. We cant know how different, but history lends a clue.

Usually baseless fears of a glut and shadow space i.e., occupied floors that are quietly up for sublease are a forever part of New York real estate chatter. Even when they occur, as in the late 1980s due to undisciplined over-construction, they dont last long.

Nor do physical catastrophes produce the dystopian things will never be the same outcomes. It was an article of faith for some that Manhattan, and downtown especially, wouldnt ever be the same after 9/11. Who would ever again want to work there, close to an open mass grave and amidst possibly poisonous air? But downtown became the citys lowest-vacancy office district a few years later.

Ah, skeptics say but 9/11 was a one-time disaster, where the virus might be with us for years.

Counterpoint: New York City lived in dread of another terrorist attack for long after. We feared another airborne assault at least as much as we now fear the airborne virus.

In that light, those 6 million new square feet still up for grabs deserve a closer look. For one thing, CBRE tristate CEO Mary Ann Tighe pointed out that only 4.3 million square feet of availability exists in the jumbo skyscrapers that will be most closely watched as market bellwethers. The rest are in boutique projects with as few as 150,000 square feet, such as Moinian Groups 220 Eleventh Avenue due in 2022. Such properties will likely ask for lower rents and are less challenging to lease up.

Also in the largest new projects favor is that companies needing the most state-of-the-art workspaces wont have much choice elsewhere. Manhattan is almost out of buildable footprints on commercially-zoned land big enough to allow super-size new developments to go up which is one reason why, for example, ABC/Disney is building a new headquarters in the once-unappealing Hudson Square.

Even the 4.3 million availability figure needs an asterisk, said JLL tristate chairman Peter Riguardi, because some tenants that signed for the supertalls have expansion options beyond their original commitments.

Riguardi doesnt downplay the gravity of whats happened. Weve been punched real hard in the gut, he said. Well have to adapt.

Ever-optimistic Mitchell L. Moss, Henry Hart Rice Professor of Urban Policy and Planning at NYU, acknowledged, Everything will slow down because of the uncertainty.

Even so, brand-new towers that incorporate todays in-demand bells-and-whistles such as column-free floor plates, 14-plus-foot slab to slab floor heights, and environmentally attuned infrastructure have a huge advantage over the citys older office stock. Buildings a mere 25 years old are generations behind the new class.

Moss noted, Buildings like One Vanderbilt are sufficiently advanced that they can be easily modified to protect employees before they open.

Tighe said, The Covid crisis is going to cause anybody whos looking at their office needs to factor in elements ideally suited to new buildings but are challenges for older ones.

The sophisticated air-flow systems shared by the new skyscrapers can be made virus-resilient much more easier than older ones can. And, its easier to create touchless technology in new buildings, Tighe said. UV lights can kill off germs in buildings during the day. The entire process of access will be touchless, thanks to iPhone codes that can let employees in without having to pass through security gates.

As for the supposed stay-at-home revolution: although it might reduce some demand for office space, Moss points out that offices have the great advantage of face-to-face contact. It isnt the same when everyone is sitting alone. There are candor and nuance in an office that you dont get on a computer screen at home.

The remote-working success that companies such as Morgan Stanley have had might be relative and short-lived. It worked more smoothly than expected, but its only been for two months. Longer term is another story. Many executives suffer Zoom fatigue and are dying to go back to their desks. Lost in the news of Zuckerbergs work-from home announcement was that internal Facebook surveys showed that more than half of his employees said they really want to get back to the office as soon as possible, he said.

If anything, reduced demand for office space will hurt Class-B buildings and older Class-A buildings more than the new, ground-up crop. That trend has been ongoing for years as tens of millions of obsolescent commercial properties were converted to apartments.

Its part of the citys ever-evolving dynamic, which not even the most terrible plague in 100 years is likely to change.

Yes, Everyone Still Wants That Shiny New Office - Commercial Observer

We are seeing an increased need to deliver projects that enable growth, support the introduction of new technologies, and meet dynamic demands from our clients and the communities they serve.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) May 27, 2020

Modern Healthcare has once again recognized the firm as the leading construction management company for healthcare facilities a distinction Turner has earned for 20 years.

More than ever before, creating world-class healing environments is a serious responsibility. It is a responsibility we do not take for granted, said Randy Keiser, vice president and director of Turners National Healthcare Group. We are grateful to our respected clients who continue to put their trust in us.

Todays healthcare needs also bring about a new kind of rapid response by builders. Turner was recently called upon to build space to deliver urgent patient care in 20 communities across the United States in response to COVID-19. The efforts resulted in the availability of 4,000 patient care beds in a matter of weeks including a temporary hospital for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Stony Brook University in New York. At Stony Brook, we built a 1,038 bed facility and its associated mechanical and electrical equipment in 24 days, said Keiser. The coordination and mobilization by everyone involved to design and build that project was remarkable.

During 2019, Turner completed projects in major cities and in rural communities across the United States. The projects ranged in size from billion dollar programs to renovations that adapted space to meet the individual needs of clients. We are seeing an increased need to deliver projects that enable growth, support the introduction of new technologies, and meet dynamic demands from our clients and the communities they serve, said Keiser.

Construction Management firms are required to have extensive, broad knowledge and experience to meet the unique demands of building in the healthcare environment. They also need to lead efforts in budgeting, supply chains, and technology to be effective, said Keiser.

We work on highly collaborative teams to complete complex projects. One such project was retrofitting space within a healthcare environment to house a pioneering Cell Processing Facility for the University of Chicago Medicine and Biological Sciences, said Keiser. Our healthcare and manufacturing experience was called into one project.

We are honored to leverage our experience and expertise to help create successful projects, that cater to the needs of our most vulnerable citizens, and also consider the environment of care for our front line workers, continued Keiser.

Turner Construction Company delivers its services on more than 277 healthcare projects a year. In 2019 alone, Turner completed $3.7 billion of healthcare construction for clients in 23 states. Turners breadth and depth of experience has earned the company its reputation as a trusted, go-to builder for leading hospital systems and hospitals, clinics, specialty facilities, and medical office building clients.

About Turner Construction CompanyTurner is a North America-based, international construction services company. Founded in 1902, Turner first made its mark on the industry pioneering the use of steel-reinforced concrete for general building, which enabled the company to deliver safer, stronger, and more efficient buildings to clients. The company continues to embrace emerging technologies and offers an increasingly diverse set of services.

WILLMAR The 2020 street improvements in Willmar will go forward as planned. The Willmar City Council adopted several resolutions during the May 18 council meeting that pushed the projects toward the construction phase.

Following a public hearing, in which members of the public could participate by phone, the council adopted the assessment roll for the three street improvement projects which could be partially assessed to property owners.

Those three projects are reconstruction of Ninth Street Southeast from Willmar Avenue to Pleasantview Drive, reconstruction of Sixth Street Northeast/23rd Avenue Northeast from Country Club Drive to 26th Avenue and overlay of First Street from 19th Avenue to the westbound state Highway 23 ramps.

The total budget for all three projects is $2,933,850. Special assessments will make up $718,020 of the total, with city funds providing the balance.

Assessments are made on the address side of the property. Properties were assessed $85 per foot for reconstruction and $45 per foot for overlay.

"The last three years we've held the assessment values at a flat value," said Sean Christensen, Willmar Public Works director.

There were three callers who had concerns and objections, all related to the Ninth Street Southeast reconstruction project. The objections were generally about the cost of the assessments. All three were rejected by the council.

Christensen explained while the city assessment ordinance allows the city to charge property owners up to 75 percent of the cost for street improvements, the actual cost of $85 per liner foot for reconstruction is only about 25 percent of the construction costs.

"The 75 percent rate was not viewed as a legitimate number to charge the residents," said Christensen.

There are assessment deferment programs available for those who are eligible and would have problems paying for the assessments. Those with questions can contact the city clerk by calling the City Office Building.

Construction on the projects should begin in June. The council awarded the Ninth Street Southeast reconstruction and the First Street overlay to Duininck Inc., and Riley Bros. Construction Inc. was awarded the bid for the reconstruction of Sixth Street Northeast/23rd Avenue Northeast. All three low bids were under the engineer's estimates for the projects.

If the weather cooperates this construction season, the projects are scheduled to be completed by Sept. 25.

In a large cluster of COVID-19 infections, 74 construction workers at an exclusive Tennessee prep school building site have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Workers for General Contractor Brasfield & Gorrie and the companys subcontractors at the Montgomery Bell Academys athletic facility construction site have tested positive for the virus, Metropolitan Nashvilles Health Department confirmed last week.

The first positive test was confirmed earlier this month, NewsChannel 5 reported. According to the television station, an email revealed that by May 18, 329 workers at the site had been tested with 60 confirmed cases.

There was no information on the condition of the workers or their families or if there had been any deaths. The Birmingham-based construction supplied only a boilerplate press release professing its concerned for the safety of workers and the great lengths it is going to protect everyone.

A large sign at the construction sites main entrance had an image of a worker attired in a highly visible bright yellow-chartreuse shirt and wearing protective glasses and hardhat. He was not wearing a mask. Nowhere on the sign was there any mention of a COVID-19 warning or any requirements or even suggestions for masks or social distancing. If there were such signs, none were readily visible.

But on the fence there was a sign cautioning, Drones May Be Operating In This Area.

At about the same time as the Tennessee cases were revealed, another Alabama-based general contractor briefly shut down operations at a University of Alabama construction site when 10 confirmed cases among workers there were reported.

Caddell Construction of Montgomery, Alabama, is the general contractor on the $106 million renovation work at the University of Alabamas Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.

As in the Nashville case, the construction company was tight-lipped on the condition of workers or their families even after details of the infection were reported.

More than 10 people have tested positive for COVID-19, according to people familiar with the outbreak, but the number could be much higher, Joseph Goodman of AL.com reported. With so many exposures, there is a fear that more positive cases linked to the job site are inevitable. The large number of positive tests means, essentially, everyone at the job site could have been exposed.

The COVID-19 outbreak at the Alabama stadium follows an accident which severely injured two workers there in late January.

Two men were almost killed when two concrete beams fell and struck the construction vehicle they were in. One news source described one worker as paralyzed with a second worker suffering severe head injuries.

Brasfield & Gorrie reported having about 2,600 employees in 2016, and revenue of $2.4 billion. It ranked #30 in the nations top 400 contractors for 2017, according to Engineering News-Record . It also ranked third in healthcare general contractors in the nation, Modern Healthcare reported.

Caddell Construction is roughly one tenth the size of Brasfield & Gorrie in terms of employees and revenues.

The two Alabama-based construction companies share more than a home state.

Both companies are working on sports facilities and are under intense pressure to get the job done before the fall sports season. College and even high school sports are multi-million dollar businesses and are treated that way. The University of Alabama football program, for instance, brings in about $47 million in profits on $108 million of total revenues. The college football season is set to begin in September.

In Nashville, the MBA private schoolwith tuition at $27,250 a yeartouts sports as one of the legs on its three-legged student products: Gentleman, Scholar, Athlete.

A Channel 5 reporter asked one worker at the MBA worksite, Why dont you just walk off the job?

The answer from one worker was simple. Because you cant get unemployment if you just quit, he replied. So I have to provide for my family.

Another worker responded plainly but accurately. You just rely on people whose profit is at stake on telling you whether to go forward or not.

Similar answers could be given by workers in all different countries.

I have no other choice. It doesnt seem normal to have to return to work, but we have no other option, a construction locksmith in Spain told the media. I have to continue covering expenses.

A Madrid bricklayer complained, I dont know why the hell we have to go back if there is no way of keeping distance from each other. I only hope that my colleagues also work with a mask. If not, were screwed.

In China, courageous and self-sacrificing construction workers build a hospital in two weeks, but in the words of one Chinese worker: We are all abandoned tools after use.

Dont let the voice of praise fill my screen, he said on social media of government praise. There is still a lot of injustice and exploitation in the world.

A comment from a Turkish construction worker was poignant.

The conditions on our job site are deplorable, and I feel psychologically broken with worrying that I might infect other people, especially my wife or my 8-year-old son, zkan told equaltimes.org about his life as a construction worker in Istanbul, Turkey. We dont have any way to disinfect ourselves on the site, so as soon as I get home, I go straight to the bathroom to take a shower. I cant kiss my son, I can only greet him from afar.

In the United States, even though construction is considered an essential activity, construction workers look to lose almost 1 million jobs.

The latest labor figures point to a precipitous drop in construction jobs across the United States, archpaper.com reported May 8. 975,000 construction workers lost their jobs in April, with specialty trade contractors bearing the worst losses (691,000 jobs), while building construction lost 206,100.

What may be most galling to many construction workers is the prospect of putting their truly essential lives on the line to earn a living for themselves and their families by building non-essential structures.

In recent weeks, the Nashville Business Journal (NBJ) reported financing for the building of two huge office buildings costing more than $100 million each.

A third $100 million project gives conspicuous consumption new meaning.

The Motor Enclaves target audience, the developer told the Nashville Business Journal (NBJ), is simplepeople love carsand he will build car condos that start at $180,000 with the average price at $350,000 for a 1,200-square-foot condo that can comfortably fit four to six cars.

Some will be built specifically to accommodate recreational vehicles and car trailers, and those units will be priced between $700,000 and $800,000, the developers told the NBJ. The money invested in these three projects in Nashville, Tennessee, would more than pay for the $237 million the US is assessed by the World Health Organization, which is leading the fight against COVID-19.
