Hot Properties for Feb. 17, 2014
HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) The Myrtle Beach Center is set to begin construction on February 24, and completion is expected to be one year later, on February 24.
The indoor tournament facility is being built adjacent to the existing Myrtle Beach Convention Center. When construction is completed it will include hardwood floors for 16 volleyball courts or eight full-sized basketball courts that can be configured for a variety of other indoor sport activities.
The Myrtle Beach Sports Center will also feature a retail area, a caf, a 1,500-seat telescopic bleacher system and an entertainment zone, for visiting teams and players.
The City of Myrtle Beach will sign a contract with Dargan Construction of Myrtle Beach this week, to build the 100,000 square foot facility. This will include a sports center that is valued at approximately $13 million dollars, and 500 additional parking spaces.
"We are excited to get vertical construction underway on this indoor tournament venue," Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes said. "In fact, we are already accepting events for 2015.
Having the sports center next to the convention center nearly doubles the available floor space at that location. And we're especially pleased at how well it complements our outdoor sports venues at Grand Park and elsewhere."
According to officials with the City of Myrtle Beach, several events are already scheduled for March 2015 at the Sports Center. Also, from April 4 through August 1, 2015, 17 additional tournaments are already booked at the Myrtle Beach Sports Center, states officials with the City of Myrtle Beach.
They include:
- A 48-to-64 team volleyball tournament the weekend of March 7, 2015
- A 128-team volleyball tournament the weekend of March 21, 2015

Construction for the Myrtle Beach Sports Center will start soon, officials say
EAST LYME As the residential portion of the long-stalled Gateway Commons development moves forward, First Selectman Paul Formica has confirmed that the commercial anchor for the project will be a Costco wholesale retail store.
Simon Konover Development Corp. and KGI Properties have planned for years to build a residential and retail development on about 200 acres near I-95 exits 73 and 74.
The project stalled during the economic downturn but appears now to be moving forward. The developers recently began clearing land for 280 residential rental units near Exit 73 and will begin construction in earnest in the spring, said Newton Brainard, vice president of Simon Konover.
The residential component calls for 10 buildings, each with 28 market-rate units, interspersed over 38 acres, he said. Construction is expected to take about a year and a half.
"It will be a luxury, multi-family community," said Brainard, with studios, one- and two-bedroom units, a central clubhouse and a resort-style pool. The developers will also improve East Society Road, which will serve as the entrance for the residences, he said.
Meanwhile, planning continues for the commercial phase on a large tract of commercial land in town. The village allows for up to 425,000 square feet of retail space, including one 140,000-square-foot anchor store and up to five smaller "junior anchor" stores. Costco is slated to be the anchor store, Formica told The Day's editorial board last week.
The commercial and residential village has been in the works for more than a decade. The zoning commission approved a master development plan for Gateway five years ago, after previously rezoning a light-industrial and commercial swath of land into the Gateway Planned Development District years earlier, said Zoning Official Bill Mulholland.
The development stalled during the economic downturn. But last year the developers approached the commission and in June received final site plan approval for 275 residential units. Last fall, the commission granted the developers permission to build five additional units.
Formica said the overall development is anticipated to bring in about $1.7 million to $2 million in property taxes.
Formica said he hopes the development will benefit the community and draw more visitors to the town. "We're the gateway to Mystic coast and country," he said. As people travel up the highway and see the commercial development, he added, they might find their way to downtown Niantic, the boardwalk, shops and the village of Flanders.

Costco To Anchor East Lyme Complex
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 17, 2014
MJM + A Architects PLLC, an award-winning Manhattan-based architectural practice, recently unveiled their plans for the construction of Hudson Spire, a 110 story, 1,800 foot tall tower that would become the tallest building in North America.
The structure will include approximately 1.2 million square feet for high-end retail, office, hotels, and residences in the heart of Hudson Yards, a dynamic new neighborhood and cultural center in development on 10th Avenue from 34th to 40th Street, on the site of what was formerly the West Side Rail Yards. Hudson Spire would be on a section of the new Hudson Boulevard, overlooking a park-like public space that is the centerpiece of the neighborhood. The building will face the Hudson River and be less than two blocks from the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
Michael J. Macaluso, Principal and Founder of MJM + A Architects, was retained by the property owners and their exclusive real estate broker Massey Knakal to come up with a grand design for the building. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that architects dream of, says Macaluso. When the senior executives of Massey Knakal, James Nelson and Bob Knakal, and Anthony Volpe of the Rosenthal Group first laid out for us the challenge of creating an 1,800 foot high mixed-use tower for Hudson Yards, we were both thrilled and inspired. As architects, our job is to interpret the dreams of others. The creative geniuses of our design studio, led by my partner Keith Lucas, came up with a stunning vision of a vibrant glass structure that literally jumps from its bases and soars to the stars.
Hudson Spire is slated to have 110 stories, offering a unique combination of commercial and residential space. Floors one through five will host upscale restaurants and retailers, on top of which will be 15 stories of office space. Floors 21through 85 are designated for three separate high-end hotel properties, each with approximately 200 guest rooms, lavish amenities, and event/conference space. The top 25 floors will be luxury residences, with one or two units per floor, concierge service, private elevators, glass walls on all four sides, and stunning views that extend from the Statue of Liberty to the George Washington Bridge and beyond.
Hudson Yard represents the last frontier in undeveloped Manhattan property, says Macaluso, and Hudson Spire will be right in the middle of this dynamic new neighborhood with all its cultural attractions, entertainment, and river views. And its close proximity to the Javits Center makes it an excellent choice for Fortune 500 executive travelers. more
Design-wise, Hudson Spire follows the super tall / super thin strategy of other recent luxury high rise residences, mandated by the space, cost and zoning realities of Manhattan property. Starting at a base width of approximately 100 feet, the edifice will be physically set back as it rises, tapering to just 75 feet in width at the top floors. The structural challenges of high winds and complex elevator requirements are solved with a hybrid reinforced concrete and steel frame, encased by alternating reflective and non-reflective high powered glass.
Theres not a lot of faade to work with, says Keith M. Lucas, Partner and Project Designer for MJM + A Architects, so we wanted to make it visually interesting. We decided, rather than go with a typical singular surface, lets do something different and more dynamic. Lets vary the composition of the glass color and reflective property, with lots of intersecting angles that play off one another, so that sunsets and city views will look different on one face of the building than on the others.
At 1,800 feet, Hudson Spire will be even taller than the recently-constructed Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center. Since 9/11, the city has gone through a long healing process. The owners of the property want to create a building that looks forward, not back, that will uplift the city but is unrelated to 9/11, says Macaluso. Hudson Spire reflects the dawn of a new age, emphasizing the global character of New York City as a business hub, a tourist destination, and the many foreign residents who now call it home. Hudson Spire will be a welcome addition to the Manhattan skyline, and to the spirit of the city itself.
