Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Friends of the Parks has added the new restaurant at Maggie Daley Park to the growing list of public parks projects the group has a problem with.

The advocacy group's president Cassandra Francis accused the Emanuel administration of "[looking] at parks as construction sites," in a statement Monday. Francis was particularly critical of the Park District's deal with Four Corners Tavern Group to build a restaurant in Maggie Daley Park, as well as unrelated plans to put a high-rise development at Pritzker Park at 310 S. State St., according to DNAinfo. The pocket park, across from Harold Washington Library, is the only park in the Loop.

The restaurant, dubbed Maggie's at the Park, could cost more than $1 million dollars to construct and would likely require the Monroe Street side of the recently-opened, lakefront park to experience several more months of construction.

Friends of the Parks have also staunchly opposed plans to use public land for Chicago's bid for the Obama Presidential Library and it is suing the city over the lakefront location of the proposed Lucas Museum.

Developers of Ascaya, the long-delayed mountain-mansion project in Henderson, are promising to build one of the most luxurious communities in Southern Nevada.

To help lure people in, theyre planning a clubhouse with more than the usual pool and treadmills. The developers unveiled plans today for the $25 million, 22,000-square-foot facility.

Construction is expected to being by the end of the year.

Designed by Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Swaback Partners, the clubhouse will feature swimming pools, a Jacuzzi, poolside cabanas, a concierge desk and a main room with a bar, fireplace and seating areas.

It will also have a fitness room, an outdoor childrens play area, a yoga lawn, an outdoor basketball court, locker rooms with lounge area and showers, massage rooms and two tennis courts with a shaded viewing pavilion.

In most luxury communities, the clubhouse is not a focal point because it serves very basic functions, sales manager Darin Marques said in a news release. At Ascaya, the clubhouse is elevated to a true resort-style environment.

Ascaya, located south of Horizon Ridge Parkway off Roma Hills Drive and almost 1,000 feet above the valley floor in the McCullough Range, is being developed by Hong Kong tycoon Henry Cheng.

Cheng blasted away the mountainside during the boom years last decade with plans for mansions overlooking the valley on streets with names such as Heavens Edge, Stonecutter and Epic View but tabled the project in 2009 after the economy collapsed.

His group spent at least $200 million on the site. It reportedly drilled, blasted and moved 15 million cubic yards of solid rock, cutting at least 140 feet deep.

Neighbors complained the blasting shook their homes and cracked windows and foundations.

Mirabel, Scottsdales premier golf club, has reached its maximum capacity in golf memberships. As many private golf clubs across the country struggle to maintain and grow membership, this is a true testament to Mirabels prominence and reputation in the industry. Originally set at 350, the golf membership cap was lowered to 275 in 2012 in order to maintain the Clubs close-knit community atmosphere.

Meeting our golf membership cap is a direct result of Mirabels remarkable, luxury golf club experience, said Mirabel General Manager, Randy St. John, CCM. In addition to our amenities, the members have built a welcoming and desirable community that makes Mirabel one of the best private clubs in the Southwest.

A Tom Fazio designed course, Mirabel is one of the most honored private golf courses in Scottsdale and has been regularly recognized by Golfweek, GOLF Magazine and Arizona Foothills Magazine as among the best private golf clubs in the United States.

There are still a limited number of social memberships, and Mirabel will offer future golf memberships through a market-based pricing program as they become available. Market-based pricing allows the price of membership to fluctuate according to supply and demand, as opposed to being tied to a set initiation fee.

Member satisfaction is a priority at Mirabel and benefits include access to the award-winning golf course, comprehensive tennis and fitness programs, a variety of year-round dining options and a resort-sized swimming pool with private cabanas. Members are also granted exclusive access to the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired Desert Lodge clubhouse.

Mirabel Golf Club Reaches Golf Membership Cap

After 10 years, a 182-acre project to collect and treat toxic wastewater from several abandoned gold mines in the Grass Valley area is finally in the works.

But despite the fact that the so-called North Star Water Treatment Facility is expected to clean up manganese, iron and arsenic-tainted water before it dumps into Wolf Creek as it is doing now some neighbors along Allison Ranch Road where Newmont Mining Corp. wants to build two 2-plus acres of water treatment ponds right next to Wolf Creek are not happy.

We couldnt agree more that the (North Star and Massachusetts Hill) mines toxic wastewater should be cleaned up, said 11-year resident Zora Biagini. We just dont think it should be at our expense, environmentally or financially.

Newmont spokesman Omar Jabara said Friday that the company worked for years to accommodate all the agencies and regulations in designing and siting the project. The companys staff last month met with neighbors to explain the project application, filed Dec. 31 with Nevada County. A public hearing before the countys Planning Commission is expected this summer.

Nonetheless, Biagini said she has many unanswered questions. Chiefly, Biagini said she doesnt understand why Newmont could not find another, more remote place for the ponds elsewhere on the 740 acres the firm owns in the area. On March 28 she sent a letter with her questions and grievances to Nevada County Senior Planner Tod Herman, who is processing Newmonts land use application.

Jabara, in response, said Newmont worked closely with city and state officials over the past 10 years to identify a viable location for the water treatment plant. Siting of the plant has been modified several times to accommodate various requirements from the city, state and others.

The current design was proposed to the Nevada County Planning Commission based on various physical, construction and regulatory constraints, Jabara added. Considerations were taken to site the facilities in locations which may be able to provide aesthetic screening. As discussed with residents during a recent field tour, we are open to suggestions that could provide further screening.

Herman, meanwhile, said the North Star Water Treatment Facility, as the county is calling the project, spans seven assessors parcels totaling 182 acres. Herman said the public will have ample opportunity for comment when the project comes before the Planning Commission.

He said he does not anticipate having to do a full environmental impact report.

We will likely be processing the application with a mitigated negative declaration, Herman said.
