IT is a major project that will require a high level of expertise and patience.
But the architect firm that wins the contract to rebuild the partially destroyed Mackintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art will also come under intense scrutiny as they resurrect the world famous building.
Companies based in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Hong Kong have today been named on the short list for practices who could design the restoration of the building which was destroyed in a disastrous fire last May.
The five-strong shortlist comprises Avanti Architects, John McAslan + Partners, LDN Architects LLP, PagePark Architects and Purcell, and their designs will all be examined in extreme detail as they resurrect Mackintosh's masterpiece.
Avanti is based in London, and its portfolio includes heritage work such as the project to bring back into use Alfred Waterhouse's 1887 Victoria Building at Liverpool University and the restoration of the Art Deco Midland Hotel in Morecambe.
Avanti is currently working with Scottish arts charity NVA on its St Peter's Seminary, Cardross project, which will transform the Grade A listed modern ruin into a cultural and education centre.
John McAslan is a Scottish architect, originally from Dunoon, and his company John McAslan + Partners is based in London, Manchester and Edinburgh.
It was involved in the restoration of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's 78 Derngate in Northampton.
The practice also led the restoration of Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff's Grade I listed De La Warr Pavilion in East Sussex and the March en Fer in Haiti.
One of the McAslan's most recent projects is the development of London's King's Cross Station.

ALBERTVILLE Construction is underway at The Shoppes of Albertville, an $18 million, 135,000-sqaure-feet development that already is 92 percent leased.
GBT Realty Corporation, a commercial real estate development and net lease company based in Brentwood, Tenn., closed on the 13.2-acre site Dec. 29.
Tenants including PetSmart, T.J.Maxx, Hobby Lobby, Ross Dress for Less and Hibbett Sports already are lined up to join the center. There is an additional space for a junior anchor and a little more than 11,000 square feet of small shop space.
We are extremely excited about this retail development and the opportunity that it will give our citizens, neighbors and visitors to shop in Albertville, Mayor Tracy Honea said. The retailers GBT has already recruited will fill a void in our market for those soft goods and services provided. Im confident they will experience great success here.
GBT entered into a development agreement with the city, which is selling bonds to provide $5 million of funding to offset predevelopment and development costs. A portion of the sales tax generated at the shopping center will pay off the bonds.
The Shoppes of Albertville is situated at the intersection of the primary north/south and east/west commercial corridors through Northeast Alabama, approximately halfway between Huntsville and Gadsden, ideal sites to support the expansion plans of our retail partners, said Thom Hickman, GBTs senior vice president for acquisitions and development.
Jeff Pape, managing director for GBTs shopping center division, said shoe retailers, fast casual dining options and service-oriented tenants are being sought.
Overall, GBT has $65 million of retail space totaling more than 300,000 square feet planned or under development throughout Alabama. The company has projects in 21 states, with $1 billion of commercial development totaling 5 million square feet in the pipeline and under construction.
We are honored to have the most active private developer in the country bringing its expertise to the Albertville community, Honea said. We can only hope that this is one of many more announcements to come from GBT for our community.

Construction underway at new Albertville shopping center
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
The Entrada de Santa Barbara hotel and retail project has been in the planning stages for over 20 years, but now heavy equipment has arrived to begin some of the serious work.
Construction crews have been tearing down the last set of older buildings that once housed Hot Spots Coffee, a T-shirt shop and bike rentals on the corner of State St. at Mason St.
This site is one of three corners involved in the project.
Construction is planned for the next year and a half with completion set for summer of 2016. All three phases have to be done at the same time according to city requirements for the project.
The Entrada development and the nearby facelift in the "Funk Zone" recently are combined, the largest retail, restaurant, and hotel changes the city has seen since the early 1990's when the Paseo Nuevo Mall was built downtown.
The developer is known as 35 State Street Partners and the group involves Los Angeles businessman and developer Michael Rosenfeld who has been to Santa Barbara to usher the project through after several setbacks over the last 20 years involving other owners.
Once completed it will have 123 rooms, over 20, 000 square feet of retail space, paseos, and 243 parking spaces.
The historic Californian Hotel was partially preserved for this project. It dates back to the early 1920's and the facade remains in place and the rest of the building, torn down years ago, will be rebuilt in an area west of State St.
Nearby two creek projects and bridge replacements are also taking place, and MOXI The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, a children's museum is going to be built near the train station a block to the north.

Entrada de Santa Barbara Project Site Demolition Underway
Las Vegas real estate market, after getting battered by the recession, had one of its busiest years in a while in 2014.
Investors built retail, apartment and office projects in the suburbs, the housing market stayed volatile and new projects were proposed and took shape along the Strip.
What lies ahead? Heres a rundown of what happened in 2014, and what insiders expect this year.
Housing
After hitting bottom, home prices rose at one of the fastest rates nationally in recent years as investors paid cash, sight unseen, for low-priced houses to turn into rentals.
But now, with fewer bargains out there, investors are pulling back. They triggered a valleywide slowdown last year as more listings went ignored, sales volume dropped and prices rose at a much slower pace.
Real estate pros expect things to keep cooling in 2015. But with the market relying more on regular, mom-and-pop buyers, that could turn a slowdown into a slump, as many locals cant get a mortgage because of tighter lending requirements and past bankruptcies, foreclosures or short sales.
Meanwhile, homebuilders had a topsy-turvy 2014.
Sales totals dropped hard as would-be buyers, saddled with financial woes and sticker shock, backed off. Through November, sales volume was down 20 percent year-over-year in Southern Nevada, prices were flat, and builders pulled fewer construction permits.
All told, theres little reason to feel warm and fuzzy about 2015, Home Builders Research President Dennis Smith recently said.

After a busy 2014, whats in store for Las Vegas real estate?
Tribune Media announced plans Thursday to redevelop Times Mirror Square, home of the Los Angeles Times, and a separate vacant printing plant in nearby Costa Mesa.
The Chicago-based media company is seeking partners for both California properties, including a mixed-use project for Times Mirror Square in downtown Los Angeles. The property sits on a multiacre site next to City Hall.
"The Times Mirror Square master plan promises to deliver a compelling urban project that includes the restoration of important buildings and the construction of complementary new buildings around a new metro rail station directly connected to four of the region's major rail lines," Murray McQueen, president of Tribune Real Estate, said in a statement. "We look forward to identifying the best development partner to help us achieve the immense potential of this site and bridge two of Downtown LA's most dynamic districts."
Tribune Media spun off its newspaper business in August and began trading last month on the New York Stock Exchange. As part of the spinoff, Tribune Media retained a real estate portfolio that includes 80 assets, 8 million square feet of space and 1,200 acres of land. The real estate portfolio brings in about $50 million annually in revenue, most of which comes from rent paid by Tribune Publishing newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times.
The Los Angeles Times continues to occupy parts of Times Mirror Square.
Tribune Real Estate is also pursuing a partner to oversee development of the 21-acre site in Costa Mesa, which had served as printing plant and distribution facility for the Los Angeles Times. Features include a functional rail spur and a helicopter pad.
"The site has been a well-known part of the Costa Mesa landscape for over 40 years," McQueen said. "Costa Mesa is developing a strong identity as a cultural hub of Orange County and we are excited to be developing the site during this next chapter of civic vibrancy."
A brokerage house will be hired "in the near term" to assist Tribune Real Estate in finding development partners for the projects, the company said.
Tribune Real Estate unveiled broad plans last month to redevelop Tribune Tower in Chicago, potentially tripling the building's space with residential, retail and hotel components. The landmark 34-story neo-Gothic building on Michigan Avenue, which houses the Chicago Tribune and other tenants, has 737,000 square feet of space, but is zoned for up to 2.4 million square feet of space.
Tribune Media said its real estate holdings are valued at $650 million, but the company sees significant upside in optimizing the portfolio, with an estimated market value of $1 billion.
