Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

NEW YORK (AP) Hundreds of members of New Yorks Greek Orthodox community attended a blessing ceremony today for a new church near ground zero in Lower Manhattan that will replace a house of worship that was destroyed in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

In his remarks at the construction site, the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church in America recalled his dismay when, on September 12, 2001, he and other pastors visited the spot where St Nicholas church had stood since the early 20th Century.

The tiny structure had been crushed in the collapse of the twin towers, making it the only church destroyed in the attack.

We stood there frozen, paralysed, said Archbishop Demetrios. There was a big hole instead of a church. It left a terrible kind of impression.

More than 13 years later, work has begun on a much larger, $38 million domed church designed by famed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava intended to serve both as the new home for the Greek Orthodox parish and as a national non-denominational shrine for ground zero visitors. The dome made of glass and white marble will be backlit from within so that it glows at night.

It will be a refuge for people in need of spiritual comfort regardless of their specific beliefs, or unbeliefs, the archbishop said. Above all, this resurrected St Nicholas church will be a monument declaring the victory of good over evil, of love over hatred.

Those in attendance included Calatrava, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, former Governor George Pataki, former Mayor David Dinkins and various other government officials from New York and New Jersey.

Pataki, who was New Yorks governor at the time of the attack, said the church was an important addition to the memorials and skyscrapers that have risen in recent years at the World Trade Centre site.

The original church was founded by Greek immigrants in 1916 and began services at its 1 200-square-foot (112-square-metre) location on Cedar Street in 1922. After it was destroyed, the rebuilding was delayed by a legal dispute between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America over the original site.

WASHINGTON Construction firms broke ground on more apartment complexes in September, pushing up the pace of U.S. homebuilding.

The Commerce Department says housing starts rose 6.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.017 million homes. Most of the gains came from apartment construction, which increased 18.5 percent after plunging in August.

The sluggish recovery and meager wage growth has left more Americans renting, instead of owning homes. Apartment construction has surged 30.3 percent over the past 12 months, although the pace is volatile from month to month.

Starts for single-family houses rose just 1.1 percent in September, contributing to an 11 percent gain during the past 12 months.

Applications for building permits, a good sign of future activity, increased 1.5 percent to an annual rate of 1.018 million.
