Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Societe Generale is scheduled to move to Canary Wharf in 2019.

LONDONCanary Wharf Group plc and Societe Generale have agreed a pre let of around 280,000 square feet in a new 700,000-square-foot office building to be constructed by Canary Wharf Group plc at 1 Bank Street, Canary Wharf in London.

Societe Generale will occupy the ground and first to seventh floors in this 26-story building on a 25-year lease at a rent of about $76 (47.50) per square foot and 36 months rent free commencing from the summer of 2019. Societe Generale also has an option to hand back a floor of approximately 31,000 square-foot at year 10 as well as options to take additional space on levels 8 and 9.

Work commenced on this site earlier in 2014 and the remaining space in the development will be marketed to potential office tenants as construction progresses.

The building will be one of the most striking, modern office buildings in London, benefiting from three state of the art trading floors, upper floors all linked by a spectacular atrium with interconnecting staircases and a large terrace at the base. This building will enable Societe Generale to consolidate their London operations from its three current locations into one.

George Iacobescu CBE, chairman and CEO of Canary Wharf Group plc, says, We are pleased to welcome Societe Generale, one of the most important European institutions, and to be able to provide them with a technologically advanced building which responds to their new requirements. This pre-let demonstrates the enduring attraction of our high quality office space and infrastructure to a broad range of world class organisations. Societe Generale will join over 105,000 people already working at Canary Wharf with companies providing a range of services in diverse sectors.

Richard Archer, head of leasing and marketing at Canary Wharf Group plc commented:

Were very proud to announce this material pre let today. Working closely with Societe Generale, we will ensure that the new building at One Bank Street both meets the requirements of their core London businesses and provides a dramatic new addition to Canary Wharf comprised of the type of high quality office space existing and prospective tenants expect from us.

Of the cities that data was collected from, Boston had the highest percentage (69%) of maintenance and repair requests and Denver received the largest increase of maintenance and repair requests, up 10 percent quarter-over-quarter.

Homeowners are still investing in cosmetic renovations, a fact that demonstrates stability in the home industry.

The Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose (BHM) School Dist. 877 will have a bond question on the Nov. 4 general election ballot.

The proposed $33 million bond includes a variety of projects that touch every school in the district.

The number one project in the bond is the improvements to safety and security in the schools. Hanover Elementary, along with Discovery and Tatanka Elementary schools in Buffalo, would have the entryway to the school remodeled. Parents and the public who visit the school would have to enter through the office and check-in before making their way to any part of the building. Hanover, and other schools around the district, will also see upgrades and additions of security cameras and the high school would install an upgraded intercom/phone system.

The demand for technology is greater and greater each year. Infrastructure, servers, switches, and routers are beginning to show their age as more and more devices are accessing the system since students are being encouraged to bring their own devices to school. Funds for technology would help make necessary upgrades and replacements district-wide while keeping up with the pace of technology.

Another major project within the bond funding is deferred maintenance. Deferred maintenance is composed of projects that have been postponed by the district because the funds are not available. Over the years, these projects add up and eventually need to be addressed. Some of the deferred maintenance projects district-wide include roof replacements (seven out of nine buildings); HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) upgrades; parking lot and sidewalk repairs and replacements; floor, window and door upgrades; outdoor equipment replacement; and mechanical system upgrades.

There are also needs for additional classroom spaces around the district. The new entrance at Hanover would allow the current office space to be converted into kindergarten space. Buffalo High School (BHS) is in need of more classroom and physical education space. One large classroom at BHS has been identified that could be remodeled into multiple classrooms. Space would be added on the northeast corner of the Performing Arts Center that would serve as a multi-purpose fine arts classroom. The high school would also see an addition of gymnasium space on the north end of the school by the current gymnasium and activity center.

Annually, activity venues get a few tweaks here and there, but any major improvements are delayed due to high costs and budget constraints. The pool, located at the middle school, is in need of a new water filtration system, HVAC improvements, family locker rooms, updates to the existing locker rooms (flooring, shower tile, fixtures and lockers), and storage. An addition to the outside of the pool area (southwest corner of the middle school) would provide better public access.

Other activity site and facility upgrades at BHS would include adding a track and two multi-purpose playing fields (one field would be a synthetic playing field and the other would be sand-peat), relocating three softball fields to the west end of the school (currently a practice field), making improvements to two baseball fields, and grading and improving irrigation to all the field spaces at the high school and also the fields located at the middle school. The addition and improvements of these spaces would help alleviate the current overcrowded, overused fields at both schools.

The $33 million bond for facilities and technology would have an estimated tax impact of about $88 per year on a $200,000 home (thats just over $7 per month). If approved, the district will begin work on the projects in the summer of 2015 and would be completed within five years or less. The bond would be paid over a period of 15 years.

Voting takes place on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4. Since it is a general election, voters will vote at their regular voting precincts. More detailed information can be found in the districts October Insider newsletter. You will also find updated information on the districts website at http://www.bhmschools.org and Facebook page.

Dist. 877 bond addresses safety, other issues

Everett, WA (PRWEB) October 23, 2014

Winter storms are rapidly approaching usbut is your property ready for it? asks Precision Tree Services in their newly released article about the importance of preparing your trees for the winter months.

Why is this necessary? Precision Tree Services explains that the wind storms, heavy rain, and occasional ice storms can cause a lot of damage to trees and property.

Trees that are unhealthy, dying, or already dead are far more likely to be susceptible to high winds and ice, and they may drop branches and limbs onto buildings, homes, vehicles, and even passersby. These trees can even fall over or split, creating widespread damage to the homeowners property.

The key to preventing this damage is to have problematic or hazardous trees trimmed or removed from your property.

To learn about Precision Tree Services tree trimming and tree removal services, follow this link to their website: http://precisiontreeservicewa.com/

But how can you tell whether or not a tree is dangerously ready to drop a branch through your dining room window on the next gusty day, or if the whole structure is getting ready to collapse, the article inquires of homeowners. Precision Tree Services article addresses that as well, giving homeowners a list of indications that a tree may not be ready for the winter weather.

Some examples are large areas of dead or browned leaves, cracks in the trunk that go deeper than the bark layer, widow-makers hanging in the branches, trees leaning too closely to buildings or other sensitive structures.

Precision Tree Service concludes their article saying, We can provide you with information on the safety of the trees located around your property, as well as give you estimates for the cost of pruning or removing the trees that pose a threat.

About Precision Tree Services: Precision Tree Services is a family-run business that expands throughout Whatcom and the Snohomish County area. They provide a full range of tree services, including tree removal, tree pruning, shrub and bush pruning, hedge trimming, stump grinding, crown reduction, crown raising, tree cabling, and more. All of our services are conducted by fully-trained tree experts or ISA certified arborists. Contact our office to schedule a tree service.

From left, Richard Brody, Carolyn Day, Joe Pileggi and Donald Day prepare to remove Ailanthus trees at the Community Club.

It was the first call to remove the trees manually following the TCC general meeting that discussed the use of herbicides to kill the invasive trees and where a committee was formed to find a non-toxic alternative.

Carolyn Day, creator of the childrens organic garden, agreed to head up the committee and showed up with her husband, Donald Day, checked in with groundskeeper Joe Pileggi and set to work with a small power saw and a generator. When Richard Brody showed up with his weed wrench, a mechanical weed puller, the job was already done.

It took just about an hour to remove 10 trees, some with multi-trunks, Donald said as they piled the branches for disposal. The TCC should buy a wood chipper and put the chips back on the hillside as mulch.

A number of larger trees grow inside the fenced property of the trailer. Its too big a job for us, said Carolyn. Well make an emergency request to the TCC Board to have them taken down professionally. After that we can place black tarps on the stumps to discourage photosynthesis.
