LAWRENCE: Bristol-Myers Squibb to build large new office park

- October 2, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Having obtained approval for a proposed office park on Princeton Pike at Lewisville Road, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. plans to begin construction on its 650,000-square-foot office building in the fall, according to company officials.

The new office building, with four separate sections connected by a glass atrium and sky bridges, is expected to be completed by the end of 2016. The plan includes a fitness center, plus a food service and dining space. The sky bridges are intended to encourage employees to walk from one section to another.

The site plan, approved by the Lawrence Township Planning Board in June, also calls for parking spaces for 2,148 cars in the parking lots, along with preferred parking areas for hybrid vehicles and indoor bicycle racks.

There are no plans to develop the rear portion of the 134-acre property. It will remain farmland, which is rented out to a local farmer. A segment of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail on the new campus will link to a network of walking paths on the property. The plan also preserves the historic Brearley Oak at the front of the campus, opposite Lenox Drive.

This is the sixth version of the office park, which was approved for the RCN Corp. in 2000. The original plan called for 1.5 million square feet of office space in 10 buildings, plus nine parking garages. Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. acquired the property in 2001 after RCN Corp. a cable and Internet service provider went out of business, and has scaled back the size of the office park.

The office park is the Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.s second one in Lawrence Township. The former E.R. Squibb and Sons pharmaceutical company opened its worldwide headquarters on Route 206 at Province Line Road in 1971. Squibb merged with the Bristol-Myers Co. in 1989, and made the new company made the former Squibb property its worldwide headquarters.

"We are proud to expand our presence in Lawrence Township, a community that has been home to our company for more than 40 years," said Lamberto Andreotti, the Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.s chief executive officer.

"Our new campus will create a dynamic and modern workplace to advance the important work that our employees are doing to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines for patients with serious diseases," Mr. Andreotti said.

Lawrence Township and Mercer County officials also expressed approval about the impending construction of the new office building.

Mayor Cathleen Lewis said she is "excited" that the Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. has decided to increase its investment in Lawrence Township. The company has been "a constant partner" in making Lawrence Township a great community, she said.

US Construction Spending Down 0.8 Percent

- October 2, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

U.S. construction spending fell in August, the second decline in the past three months, with housing, non-residential and government projects all showing weakness.

Construction spending dropped a seasonally adjusted 0.8 percent after a 1.2 percent increase in July, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. The July increase followed a 1.6 percent June decline.

The weakness was apparent in all sectors. Housing construction declined 0.1 percent, reflecting a big drop in spending on remodeling. Non-residential construction fell 1.4 percent while spending on government projects dropped 0.9 percent.

In addition to the August decline, the government revised lower its estimates for activity in the previous two months. While this could call into question expectations that building activity will support economic growth in the second half of the year, economists at Barclays said they were leaving their forecast for third quarter growth unchanged at 3 percent.

Barclays economist Michael Grapen said while the report signaled a softer start to the third quarter, he was still encouraged with gains shown in single-family and apartment construction.

Overall construction spending totaled $960.96 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in August, 5 percent higher than a year ago.

Spending on housing totaled $351.7 billion at an annual rate in August, 3.7 percent higher than a year ago. The August decline versus July reflected a big drop in home remodeling work which offset small gains in single-family construction and apartment construction.

Spending on non-residential projects totaled $333.3 billion, 9.2 percent higher than a year ago. In August, spending on office buildings, shopping centers and hospital construction all declined from July.

Government building projects totaled $253.4 billion, just 1.9 percent higher than a year ago. Construction activity at all levels of government has been held back by tight budgets. For August, state and local construction spending was down 0.9 percent versus July while federal projects dropped 1.9 percent.

The overall economy went into reverse in the first three months of the year, shrinking at an annual rate of 2.1 percent, in part because of weakness in construction. Housing construction was contracting at a 5.3 percent rate in the first quarter, one of a number of sectors that were hurt by the unusually severe winter.

Construction Spending Down Again for August

- October 2, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. construction spending fell in August, the second decline in the past three months, with housing, non-residential and government projects all showing weakness.

In addition to the August decline, the government revised lower its estimates for activity in the previous two months. This could call into question expectations that building activity will support economic growth in the second half of the year.

Overall construction spending totaled $960.96 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in August, 5 percent higher than a year ago.

Spending on housing totaled $351.7 billion at an annual rate in August, 3.7 percent higher than a year ago. The August decline reflected a 14 percent drop in home remodeling work. Spending to construct new single-family homes rose 0.7 percent and apartment construction was up 1.4 percent.

Spending on non-residential projects totaled $333.3 billion, 9.2 percent higher than a year ago. In August, spending on office buildings, shopping centers and hospital construction all declined.

The economy rebounded in the April-June quarter, growing at an annual rate of 4.6 percent, the best showing in more than two years. Part of the rebound reflected a recovery in residential construction, which grew at an annual rate of 8.8 percent in the spring, the first positive growth after two quarters of declines.
