    Editor's Note: A previous version of this news report erroneously reported that a newly formed technology firm, 5Q Partners, had leased a large amount of space at 6200 The Corners Pky. That information was included in error and has since been removed from this updated version.

    CleaResult provides energy programs to schools, governments, businesses and homeowners. This past fall, the company acquired PECI, (formerly Portland Energy Conservation Inc.) founded by the Portland City Council and whose offices were housed at First & Main.

    The 16-story, 364,779-square-foot, 5-Star office building was constructed in 2010 on one acre in the city's CBD submarket. The property is home to Interface Engineering, the DEA, USPS, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

    Empty Darwen offices set to be turned into housing - March 9, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    AN OFFICE building that has been empty for years and the wasteland around it will be turned into housing after planning consent was granted.

    Developers have been given permission by Blackburn with Darwen Council to level Mayfield House in Tockholes Road and build six new homes on the site.

    MORE TOP STORIES:

    Local businessman and landowner Dave Standen, who owns PrintOne UK in Grimshaw Street, plans to build the six houses as two sets of semi-detached homes with single detached houses on either side of the development, and each house will have a driveway big enough for two cars, plus a front yard and grassed garden.

    A planning document submitted on Mr Standens behalf by ATC Construction Design Ltd said: Currently there is a commercial single storey building on the site that has been vacant for several years.

    The proposed plot is surrounded by other domestic properties and a further commercial building, which is currently attached to Mayfield House.

    The site has been vacated for several years and both the building and the site has fallen into disrepair. The current building is a poor construction and has reached the end of its useful life.

    The proposed properties will replace the existing Mayfield House which is in a very poor state.

    The building is not in keeping with the surrounding residential properties. To the rear Mayfield house is a large overgrown area which is regularly used by fly tippers and has a lot of anti social behaviour.

    The proposal will remove this eyesore and provide something that is in keeping with the area thus improving the street scene.

    Construction firm new to region tackles big projects - March 7, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    SCHERERVILLE | Core Construction opened its Indiana office just three years ago, but it is already working on major projects in Northwest Indiana including Centennial Village, in Munster, and Park Place, a senior-living complex in St. John.

    The Centennial Village development will be near the southeast intersection of Calumet Avenue and 45th Street, where a new railroad underpass is being planned.

    We moved the Munster Steel building and built the new one in Hammond, said Scott Olthoff, president of Core Construction Indiana. We demolished the old building, and things are now going through city (Munster) approvals. Then the underpass will start and we should be able to start construction in conjunction with that.

    Core Construction Indiana, a construction management business, is a franchise of Phoenix-based Core Construction.

    Although plans remain preliminary, Centennial Village is expected to include restaurants, retail and office spaces as well as other venues and multifamily residential housing, Olthoff said. However, Gene Kimmel, head of CPV LLC and Centennial Villages owner and developer, said "exact details of the development" will remain uncertain until negotiations with Munster are complete.

    Land acquisition, which will also determine some development options, remains underway, Kimmel said.

    Core Construction Indiana also is handling construction management for Park Place, the $30 million senior-living complex in St. John, and the education center at Fair Oaks Farms in Fair Oaks, Ind.

    Weve got a lot of exciting projects going on right now, Olthoff said.

    Basically they (Core Construction owners) saw Indiana as an opportunity because of the growth in interest in the market and Illinois economic climate and its a relationship thing with me, Olthoff said. I was introduced to the president of Core Illinois about eight years ago, and he made a recommendation for them to explore Indiana because of the market.

    Beside Indiana, Core Construction, which is privately held, has regional franchise offices in Florida, Arizona, Louisiana, Illinois, Texas and Nevada as well as offices in Kansas, Georgia, Kentucky and Wisconsin. It is the nations fourth-largest school builder and has $700 million in bond capacity,

    Priliminary Investigation up for Jejomar Binay and son over Parking Building irregularities! - March 7, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Source: ABS-CBNNews.com

    MANILA Special investigators of the Office of the Ombudsman have recommended that Vice-President Jejomar Binay, his son, Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay, and 22 others undergo preliminary investigation in connection with irregularities in the construction of the P2.2 billion Makati City Hall Parking Building.

    In a statement, the Office of the Ombudsman-Special Panel of Investigators said the two Binays and 22 others should undergo preliminary investigation for malversation, falsification, violations of Section 3(e) of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, and violation of the Government Procurement Reform Act, in connection with several alleged irregularities in the procurement and award of the contracts for the design/architectural services and the construction of the Makati City Hall Parking Building.

    Atty. Rico Quicho, the vice-presidents spokesman for police affairs, said any charge of impropriety against the Vice President regarding the Makati City Hall Building 2 is clearly frivolous and has no basis in fact and in law.

    We are optimistic that the complaint will be ultimately dismissed by a fair and impartial tribunal. This is again a glimpse of how desperate the critics of the Vice President have become in order to fuel their own personal interests. Politics has indeed really turned to its worst form, he said in a statement.

    The building, which is called the Makati City Hall Building 2, has been the subject of a Senate Blue Ribbon subcommittee inquiry conducted by Senators Antonio Trillanes, Alan Peter Cayetano and Koko Pimentel.

    WHAT WENT BEFORE

    In their recommendatioin, investigators said the public respondents awarded the P11,974,900.00 contract for the design/architectural services of the Makati City Hall Building 2 to MANA Architecture & Interior Design Company (MANA) without public bidding, and that periodic payments were released to MANA without its corresponding deliverables under the contract.

    They said the bidding and the construction for Phases I and II (out of five phases) of the carpark building proceeded without a detailed engineering plan from MANA, contrary to procurement laws and regulations.

    Also included in the recommendation for preliminary investigation are former City Administrator Marjorie De Veyra, City Legal Officer Pio Kenneth Dasal, City Budget Officer Lorenza Amores, former Central Planning Management Office (CPMO) Chief Virginia Hernandez, former City Engineer Mario Badillo, former City Accountant Leonila Querijero, former Acting City Accountant Raydes Pestao, City Accountant Cecilio Lim III, Acting City Accountant Eleno Mendoza, City Treasurer Nelia Barlis, CPMO Engineers Arnel Cadangan, Emerito Magat and Connie Consulta, CPMO Chief Line Dela Pea, Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) Secretariat Heads Giovanni Condes and Manolito Uyaco, Technical Working Group (TWG) Chairman Rodel Nayve, BAC member Ulysses Orienza, General Services Department (GSD) OIC Gerardo San Gabriel, GSD staff member Norman Flores, as well as private respondents Orlando Mateo of MANA Architecture & Interior Design Company (MANA) and Efren Canlas of Hilmarcs Construction Corporation (Hilmarc).
