Buchans Design Lifts The Landing
Construction of The Landing will commence this month following the completion of designs for the new retail and mixed-use centre in Christchurchs Wigram Skies community.
The Buchan Group was appointed by Ngai Tahu Property in June 2010 to design key components of The Landings retail and office buildings. The precinct will be home to retail, dining, commercial and community facilities in a high street-style environment.
Built around a town square, The Landing will cost around $20 million and will act as a social and economic drawcard to Wigram Skies master planned community, south-west of Christchurch.
Stage one of The Landing has a 8975m2 site area, including 2000m2 of retail and office space spread across three buildings and a 2600 m2 New World supermarket.
The Buchan Group in conjunction with Kamo Marsh Landscape Architects has designed The Landings two significant features: the public town square and The Runway a high street featuring a continuous, 'folded' roof.
The Buchan Group Principal Anton Tritt said The Landing would be brought to life with a design that would encourage visitors to take time out, relax and appreciate their surroundings.
The centrepiece of The Landing is the town square, and restaurants and cafs will spill out into this common area, creating a piazza-like environment, he said.

Buchans Design Lifts The Landing
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) May 06, 2014
Commercial properties, warehouses, retail centers, and mixed use or office buildings, will all, at some point need expansion or renovation to maintain maximum appeal and serviceability. Old buildings will need updates, and new owners will need improved spaces to serve their specific needs. Universal Contracting has been providing commercial construction services in the greater Orlando area since the companys conception in February 1993.
Jeff Grow, Commercial Manager and Jordan Grow, Commercial Estimator, weigh in on the growth that Universal Contracting has experienced lately in commercial build out and commercial renovation activity.
Commercial build out and renovation is working with a developer or owners property to bring it up to their standards. An example would be an investor who buys an old rundown hotel and they hire a contractor to come in and give it a facelift and bring it up to their standards for their needs such as a themed hotel. Another example would be to take a doctors office and upgrade it to code, or make it nice and presentable to patients.
Universal Contracting brings the design team together - owners, architect, engineer, sub-contractors and contractors - to create a concept of what the owner wants for his business. Typically these renovations are cosmetic; new floors, new paint, new doors, ceilings, lighting. They can take it a step further and recreate new spaces using existing space. Older buildings are renovated with a goal for higher efficiency and increased value; interior offices, retail space and mixed use buildings are transformed to have higher value and better usability. The recent build out and renovation of Universal Contractings own office space is a great example of a typical office project. Four adjacent units - about 6,000 square feet were built out halfway and renovated throughout. Floors, ceilings, walls, and counters, along with bathrooms and kitchens, were renovated to create three adjoining departments: the reception, front offices and conference room; the administrative offices; and a sales and construction department with offices and showroom. There is still warehouse space for production equipment and storage.
Jordan Grow remarks, Any build out or renovation is a niche trade; some contractors can only do one thing, but we at Universal Contracting know it all. He went on to discuss future renovation projects that include several multi-family projects in the Central Florida area, plus an anticipated project in the next couple of years that involves multiple seven-story buildings that will need complete interior build outs and external renovations. Universal Contracting plans to expand their reach to include other Florida regions such as Tampa, Jacksonville, and South Florida. The company is currently undergoing growth with an expansion in business development and project management personnel.
What commercial build out and/or commercial renovation insights should business owners gather from this? Now is a good time with the economy improving; people are going out to eat more, owners want a fresh look to update their business, etc. There are new plazas and more updates all over the area. Business owners need to bring their building up to date to keep up, especially with the addition of various smart and eco-friendly technologies.
Jeff Grow adds, It is better to do any exterior renovation before the rainy season. Also, pricing is always going up on building materials. As construction picks up, so do costs - because with supply and demand, as labor materials increase, costs increase. All building material prices are expected to go up in May and there is a general industry price increase anticipated within the next few months. Also, as construction becomes busier now, the backlogs on construction projects increase. Starting the planning process now means less delay in starting the actual work.

May 5, 2014 - Northwoods League (Northwoods) Kalamazoo Growlers Kalamazoo, Mich. - Minor league baseball is notorious for its bizarre concessions menu items. The West Michigan Whitecaps have produced crowd favorites like the "Fifth Third Burger" and "Baco", while the Battle Creek Bombers received national attention for their sweet and salty Twinkie Dog. The Kalamazoo Growlers are jumping right into the crazy concessions conversation with the introduction of the Bear Claw Burger to their inaugural menu.
The Bear Claw Burger is a half-pound Angus hamburger topped with Michigan based Ebel's barbeque pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw between two Sweetwater's Donut Mill bear claw donuts. This towering burger serves two people, comes with two bags of chips and is only $12 at all Kalamazoo Growlers home games.

The Growlers Home Plate Club will begin renovations next week. This premium area is located directly behind home plate at the top of the general admission section. Vandam and Krusinga Building & Restoration will be constructing the entire Home Plate Area with Lowes Home Improvement providing the supplies and Rock Sold Surfaces furnishing the granite table tops. The seats in the Home Plate Club are actual seats from the legendary Camden Yards - home of the Baltimore Orioles.
The Growlers begin their inaugural 2014 season on the road as they take on the defending Northwoods League champions, the Madison Mallards on May 27th. The first home game of the year is on Friday, May 30th at Homer Stryker Stadium, when the Battle Creek Bombers come to Kalamazoo in the first of a five game home stand for the Growlers.

Growlers Bear Claw Burger & Home Plate Specs Unveiled
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has arrived atThailand's Constitutional Court to face charges of abuse of power, the first of two legal challenges that could see her removed from office this month.
Tuesday's hearing follows six months of protests against Shinawatra, who has held on to power as the number of demonstrators has gradually dwindled.
Al Jazeera's Florence Looi, reporting from Bangkok, said the charges relate to Shinawatra's replacement of her security chief with a relative in 2011.
The prime ministertold the courther actions had beenfor the good of the country, and that the relative was no longer married in to the family at the time of his appointment.
Supporters of the government say that the case is another attempt to unseat Shinawatra by a court that they believe is biased towards her.
There are fears that her possible removal may lead to confrontation between her supporters and opposition groups, the Reuters news agency reported.
Both supporters of Thailand's leader and anti-government protesters are planning to hold large rallies in or aroundthe capitalnext week.
If Shinawatrais forced to step down, legal experts say her entire government would have to go too.
The verdict will not be handed out on Tuesday but is expected to come this week.
The prime minister also faces charges of dereliction of duty over a state rice-buying scheme that critics say is riddled with corruption and has made huge losses.

Thai PM in court over abuse of power charges
AFP Thai court sets date to rule on PM dismissal
Bangkok (AFP) - Thailand's Constitutional Court said Tuesday it will rule on May 7 whether to remove Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from office on abuse of power charges, a verdict that could plunge the country deeper into crisis.
The premier appeared at the court to deny the allegation, filed by a group of senators who said that then-national security chief Thawil Pliensri was replaced after her 2011 election for the benefit of her party.
But the court's president Charoon Intachan said the nine-member bench had heard enough evidence and was ready to rule.
"The hearing is over... the court has decided to rule on May 7 at noon," he said.
The case, one of two potential knockout legal moves against her premiership, comes as Thailand's political crisis reaches a critical juncture.
Anti-government protesters are still massed on Bangkok's streets -- although in diminished numbers -- and Yingluck's supporters are also threatening to rally to defend her.
Under the constitution -- forged after a 2006 coup that ousted Yingluck's billionaire brother Thaksin Shinawatra as premier -- such an offence could lead to her removal and a ban from politics.
The court could also extend its verdict to cabinet members who endorsed the decision to remove Thawil, potentially dislodging a layer of ruling party decision-makers with ties to Thaksin, who lives overseas to avoid jail for corruption convictions.
"I didn't violate any laws, I didn't receive any benefit from the appointment," a composed Yingluck told the court earlier Tuesday.
