JOE BRYKSA / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Only rubble remains Tuesday following Mondays massive fire at an abandoned building on Hargrave Street.
THE vacant downtown apartment building destroyed in a fire Monday was about to undergo a major redevelopment.
A local spokesman for the California-based owner said the three-storey brick apartment building on Hargrave Street had been gutted and the owner was about to initiate a major redevelopment of the structure.
"There was a redevelopment underway, rebuilding it as an apartment building," lawyer Rick Adams said. "Very, very preliminary work had just started."
Adams said the owner, Benjamin Bingaman, of San Jose, Calif., had bought the building, located south of Broadway, as an investment property.
Winnipeg police estimated the loss at $1 million. Adams said he didn't have another figure on the loss.

Burned building had bright future

A vast Art Deco residential building in Rio de Janeiro that Brazils one-time richest man was supposed to transform into a luxury hotel ahead of the 2016 Olympics has been invaded by squatters.
Around 100 people moved into the building overnight Monday and Tuesday, slipping through a breach in the wrought-iron fence.
The squatters, many recently evicted from another site in downtown Rio, said they were determined to remain in the building until city officials agreed to provide them housing.
Were only leaving here with a house. If not, were staying right here, said Alexandre Pereira da Silva, an unemployed father of three, one of several squatters who spoke to reporters across the iron fence, their faces shrouded from cameras by blankets.
Long owned by Rio soccer team Flamengo, the building was part of a deal by a company belonging to former Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista, who pledged to turn it into a hotel in return for paying millions of dollars in back taxes owed on the property.
More than 20 stories high, the commanding structure looks over Guanabara Bay as well as the citys two landmarks, Sugarloaf Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue.
Former residents of the apartment building were evicted in late 2012, around the time when Batistas oil, mining, logistics and ship-making empire began to crumble. He now is on trial, accused of insider trading.
The company responsible for the renovation declared bankruptcy, and construction never began. The building remained empty, becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes and cockroaches. Residents of the surrounding middle-class neighbourhood complain it has attracted vandals, contributing to a surge in muggings nearby.
Local city councilwoman Leila do Flamengo said she thought legal proceedings to expel the squatters soon would be taken.

Hargrave St. building that burned down was going to be redeveloped as apartment building
Josh Crabb, CTV Winnipeg Published Tuesday, April 7, 2015 2:22PM CST Last Updated Tuesday, April 7, 2015 5:32PM CST
The massive inferno that destroyed a Hargrave Street apartment building Monday night has turned into an arson investigation.
The fire was so intense it cracked windows in Tedale Molla's apartment on the opposite side of the back lane.
"As soon as we saw the fire we left, said Molla, who took her three children outside, fearing the fire would spread.
Mollas daughter, 5-year-old Yedidiya Abasha, said it was a frightening ordeal.
"I saw a big fire," she said. "After that the firefighters came and watered it out."
The abandoned 4-storey apartment block was vacant.
No one was hurt but Winnipeg Police said the fire caused $1-million in damage, and based on witness accounts appears to have been deliberately set.
"We have what appears to be some youth observed in the building at some point, there's certainly some witness accounts that suggest some youth fleeing the area at the time of the fire, said Constable Jason Michalyshen.
Police said the suspects were described as three girls and two boys, 14 to 15-years-old.

Owner was trying to repair apartment building before suspicious fire
The developers of a proposed new mid-rise apartment building on the Pilgrim Village site just north of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus are scaling back their project and rearranging their parking plans to reduce costs and address problems they encountered with the previous design.
Pilgrim Village owner MHT Holdings Inc. and partner McGuire Development Co. have cut back the first phase of their Campus Square redevelopment of the 90-unit, affordable-housing townhome complex, which was originally built in 1980 on 12 acres at North and Ellicott streets. That phase had called for demolishing 25 townhome units and replacing them with an eight-story, 380,000-square-foot structure on the southwest corner, with 60,000 square feet of first-foor retail space and 190 residential units.
Instead, plans now call for six stories and 152 units in an L-shaped, 260,000-square-foot building, including 62 affordable apartments for senior citizens and 90 market-rate units, with some designated for graduate students. The retail space is unchanged. And the parking, which was supposed to be underneath the building, will now be contained in a separate, four-story, 85,000-square-foot parking ramp with 210 spaces, attached to main building in a U-shape.
The changes were necessitated as part of the normal process when evaluating a project and making sure it makes sense, said attorney Marc A. Romanowski, who is representing the developers. The cost had to be manageable, he said, and the developers also realized that the underground parking would hit the water table, which in that area is only 12 to 14 feet underground. We had to really look back at it and re-engineer it.
Romanowski and McGuire Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey P. Lehrbach explained the changes in a presentation Tuesday to the Buffalo Planning Board, which had previously approved the earlier concept in December. City planners agreed that the changes were significant enough to warrant a new public hearing and board consideration at the next meeting April 21.
Lehrbach estimated the new cost at $65 million to $70 million.
Weve been right-sizing the project based upon coming with an economical project but still having the aesthetics and integrity that are so important for it, he said. Plans call for breaking ground this summer and finishing in the first quarter of 2017.
The concept for the new Campus Square, at 905 Ellicott, ultimately envisions 17 mostly residential buildings and a maintenance building, with hundreds of new mixed-income and intergenerational-living units, as well as some mixed-use commercial and retail space. The first phase will include a bank branch, a grocery store, a coffee shop, a music school and a dance school, as well as possibly medical or dental services. Lehrbach said that all but the bank branch are finalized, and hes encouraging the grocery store to carry prepared foods, fresh produce and basic medicines.
A second major construction phase involves 300 units for students, medical staff and conventional housing, with at least 20 percent of the units slated for below-market rents. Remaining townhomes will be renovated. In all, the project could cost about $200 million when completed.
In other matters, the board:

Winnipeg police are investigating the likelihood a massive blaze Monday at a vacant building on Hargave Street was deliberately set.
The four-storey building at 44 Hargrave, which stood for 105 years, went up in flames about 6:45 p.m.
There were no injuries.
Today, police gave a damage estimate of $1,000,000.
Witnesses told police several youth were seen fleeing the area. The suspects are described as three girls and two boys, all about 14 to 15 years old.
Members of the Winnipeg Police Service arson unit continue to investigate. Anyone with further information that may assist investigators is asked to call 204-986-6813 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
Firefighters were able to save the apartment building at 42 Hargrave to the immediate south, although it was damaged Monday night. The residents there were quickly evacuated just in case.

Vacant downtown apartment building destroyed
The Internet of Things is coming. Some might say it is already here.
Soon, everything from your thermostat to your household appliances and anything else you can imagine will be connected. These "smart" devices will communicate information to you, order their own repairs, and provide data that was previously unimaginable.
Picture an oven you can preheat remotely, a washing machine that orders its own replacement part (before the existing one fails), or a thermostat that can learn your behavior, maximizing efficiency. The IoT will turn nearly everything into a device with some level of computer-like functionality.
In some cases, it will be robust, and in others, it will be very narrowly defined. But, however you look at it, the amount of connected devices is set to explode, and one of the key ways to profit off that growth is to invest in the companies whose operating systems -- or at least some version of them -- will be at the heart of this rapidly expanding new field.
In some ways, the IoT turns billions of devices into limited-function computers. One of the best ways to invest in this opportunity is to own stock in the companies that make the operating systems that will power these tiny computeresque brains.
That makes the potential winners in the new, IoT-dominated world three companies that lead the current generation of computers tablets, and phones: Apple , Microsoft , and Google
How big is the opportunity? The IoT is going to be big this year, and it is going to get exponentially bigger in years ahead, according to research firm Gartner . The researcher forecasts that 4.9 billion connected things will be in use in 2015, up 30% from 2014 with the total number reaching 25 billion by 2020.
"The digital shift instigated by the Nexus of Forces (cloud, mobile, social, and information), and boosted by IoT, threatens many existing businesses. They have no choice but to pursue IoT, like they've done with the consumerization of IT," said Jim Tully, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
Those billions of devices will not come cheaply. Gartner estimates that IoT will support total services spending of $69.5 billion in 2015 and $263 billion by 2020.
