Stillwater business construction roundup - Stillwater News Press

We at Desert Liquidators are often asked how we always have so much inventory. The simple answer is that companies all over the country are constantly going through liquidation. We are on hand to take the liquidated merchandise off their hands. In business, liquidation can mean one of two things:

Your friendly Phoenix liquidators scour the country to find and bring home to Arizona the best products at the best prices from these liquidation events. The home and commercial equipment we offer is unmatched in style, price and performance.

You will not find dent-and-ding merchandise. You will not find outdated and ugly products. You will find exceptional values that come to us from companies that need to clear their floors, balance their books or cut their losses.

Nobody wishes a business to go bankrupt. Creditors lose; the buying public loses; the business owner loses. When bankruptcy is inevitable, the business owner must dispose of stock and store equipment. This could be a restaurant, retailer, hotel or office supply house.

Desert Liquidators steps in at the right time to get these liquidated items at steep discounts, returning some value to the owner and passing huge savings on to you.

One way to think of liquidation in Phoenix is to think of it as the ultimate recycling. By buying up excess inventory or helping to empty a store going out of business, we prevent these valuable products from going to waste.

The embedded energy in a stainless steel restaurant sink has value that can be repurposed for a new eatery, a kitchen remodeling or a school. The beds, bar stools and bathtubs we rescue and resell can have new life.

Because we at Desert Liquidators can acquire these gleaming new, discontinued and overstock items for a fraction of what a wholesaler would pay, we can pass the savings onto you, our wallet-wise customers.

You save big because we think big. We buy from liquidation sales all over the country and bring the new inventory back to Phoenix for you. No waiting, no huge shipping bills and, best of all, no high-end retail sticker shock.

New inventory arrives all the time, so contact Desert Liquidators today or stop by our store soon.

Malik Hashim has a new San Bernardino restaurant under construction. When he wants to visit it, he goes to Los Angeles.

Hashim is a franchisee of Checkers & Rallys, a quick service chain with more than 800 restaurants serving burgers, chicken wings and seasoned fries.

In November, the Tampa company announced a strategy to give franchisees the option of prefabricated modular buildings as well as traditional builds.

Hashim took the modular option.

It saves a lot of time and money from having an architect, he said in a phone interview.

To be more specific, it shaves five to 12 weeks off the development timeline and saves as much as $100,000 on construction, according to a news release from Checkers & Rallys.

Hashim will take delivery of his Rallys restaurant at 1605 W. Baseline St. Workers will then hook up electricity and plumbing.

Target for opening is March 2018.

Checkers and Rallys has a third option for franchisees to save on construction, a model that recycles shipping containers as building supports. But thats not the model thats coming to San Bernardino, according to spokesmen.

The company has grown by more than 176 restaurants since 2012, according to the company, but it is not a familiar brand in the Inland Empire. There is a Checkers inside the Walmart Supercenter on Moreno Beach Drive in Moreno Valley.

There are also four restaurants in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

Checkers and Rallys have the same menus, which include loaded milkshakes and stacked, packed sundaes.

Salon Owner Plans To Open American Restaurant In Vacant Shaw Storefront - Bisnow

Baymeadows Corner is a few steps closer to taking shape at the site of a closed Miami Subs at 8355 Baymeadows Road.

Developers Paul and Louis Sleiman applied for a permit to significantly renovate the structure and expand it to 7,600 square feet.

Paul Sleiman said Friday most of the Miami Subs building would be demolished but some elements would remain, such as the structural columns and foundation.

The property is designed as three units comprising two retail stores of 2,500 and 3,000 square feet and a 2,100-square-foot restaurant and drive-thru. The restaurant seating is capped at 50.

The units are designed as tenant shells. Build-out would take place separately.

The Malle Co. Inc. is the contractor for the $600,000 renovation and addition. JAA Architecture is the architect.

On Friday, Triforce Development, led by the Sleiman brothers and Bueme Engineering applied for the administrative deviation from the citys zoning code for landscaping reductions. They await a final order.

The application says the proposed deviation is part of the efforts to rebuild the Baymeadows area and that the site has been vacant and deteriorated for many years.

Triforce, through Olde Mandarin LLC, would buy the property from 8355 Baymeadows Inc. of Orange Park.

A mobility-fee calculation certificate and a concurrency reservation certificate issued June 16 by the city show the site is between Taco Bell and Jiffy Lube.

Paul Sleiman said in July the plan is to redevelop the entire site, including the building, parking areas and monument sign. He said he expects to start construction in the fourth quarter.

The 3,600-square-foot Miami Subs building was developed in 1985. Miami Subs operated six area stores but closed them. The Baymeadows store closed in 2003.

The developer of the proposed Home2 Suites by Hilton at Deerwood Park Boulevard and Gate Parkway seeks a permit to build the five-story hotel at a cost of $7.5 million.

A group led by hotelier Kanti Patel wants to build the 64,438-square-foot project on 1.75 acres at 10715 Deerwood Park Blvd.

Omega Construction Services is shown as the contractor. Zona Architecture is the architect.

Plans show a pool and patio outdoors and the inside includes a breakfast area, meeting rooms and exercise room.

Patel said construction should start in November on the 104-room Home2 Suites by Hilton and he estimates the investment at $14 million to $15 million. The company said it should open in January 2019.

Home2 Suites by Hilton is a limited-service, extended-stay hotel.

The 3.54-acre site has space for a second five-story hotel, with 102 rooms. Patel said there was no decision on that development.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced the latest recipients of cash grants from the Motor City Match program on Monday Aug., 14, 2017(Photo: JC Reindl)

Thirteen Detroit-based small businesses, including a beer brewer, a construction contractorand aSouthern cooking restaurant, were awarded $500,000 in total grants Monday in the latest round of the city's Motor City Match program.

The quarterly event marked the two-year anniversary for the popular program, which distributes local foundation money as well as block grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to new and existing Detroit businesses in need of "gap funding" help.

To date, Motor City Matchhas distributed nearly $4 million to 87 businesses, of which 78% are minority-owned. The program focuseson small businesses that can play a role inrevitalizingneighborhoods and that may have struggled in obtaining enough traditional,commercial lending.

"We are getting to where we want to be in creating business opportunities in the neighborhoods," said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who with the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. started the Match program in 2015. "We are creating a pathway for people who have the talent, who have the drive, but otherwise might not have had the financing."

Big Mama's Southern Kitchen was among this latest round of grantrecipients. The restaurant was given $40,000 to helprepair damage toits building at 19644 Grand Riverfrom a December 2015 fire of unknown origin that had forced itto close.

Restaurant co-ownersPatricia Clay and Natalie Day said the repair and renovation work is already under way and they hope to reopenin October. The restaurant is named for Clay's late grandmother, Lucy Carr, who was known as "Big Mama" andtaught her the Southern recipes that their customers will taste.

"It's been a strugglebut we're doing it," Clay said of the restaurant's reconstruction."We always planned to reopen,it was just getting funded. We needed to get funded."

Construction general contractor The O'Neal Contracting Group received a $35,000 grant to help replace the roof of its headquarters at17160 Wyoming St.

Owner Greg O'Neal said his nine-employee company has been experiencing strong growth since 2014 thanksto the surge in apartment construction in and around downtown Detroit. The firm was recently awarded work at the $53 million Third and Grand residential and commercial project in New Center.

Monday's event was held inside a former 1940s post office that was converted into a workshop and future retail shop for Mutual Adoration, a past recipient of a $35,000 Motor City Match grant. The businessuses reclaimed wood to create furniture, gifts and other household items and plans toopen itsnew retail shop inside the building this fall.

The following businesses were awarded grants:

Batch Brewing Company, 2841 E. Grand Blvd., $65,000 Simply Breakfast Restaurant, 7526 W. McNichols St., $50,000 Vernor MC, 5705 W. Vernor Hwy., $45,000 Bar Botnica, 14522 E.

WATERLOO A new Perkins Restaurant & Bakery will be located at the former Lone Star Steakhouse site at San Marnan Drive and Hammond Avenue near Crossroads Center.

Construction is expected to start soon and the restaurant is anticipated to open in late September, said Matt Rahfaldt, vice president of operations of of Cy-Hawk Hospitality, which operates Perkins restaurants in Altoona, Ankeny, Fort Dodge and Sioux City, and in other states.

The existing Perkins on University Avenue in Waterloo is a separately-run corporate store and recently completed a remodeling. It has operated there since 1978, according to Courier files.

Were happy to be in Waterloo and we felt Waterloo could support a second Perkins, Rahfaldt said, as well as maybe a third in Cedar Falls at some point in the future. He said there is, in particular, a market for the restaurant in the southern part of the city.

Work is underway gutting the restaurants interior in preparation for installing Perkins fixtures, said Rahfeldt, an Ames High School and Iowa State University graduate now living in Kansas near Kansas City. Well make it look brand new, he said. He said the project represents a $500,000 investment by his company, its 14th Perkins.

Weve always loved doing business in Iowa, and Waterloo is a city thats been on our radar for quite a while, Rahfaldt said

The new Waterloo location will be staffed by about 80 full- and part-time employees and will feature Perkins full menu.

Lone Star ceased operations at the Hammond and San Marnan location in January. It had operated there since 1993. Lockard Development owns the building.

We are excited to have Perkins as a new tenant in our building in Waterloo, Lockard executive vice presdent Dave Wilson said. This will be an excellent location to serve the needs of the community. Lockard is very thankful to have them as a long-standing tenant, and that Tori Lockard and Dustin Whitehead on my team were able to secure them in this location.

In addition to its proximity to Crossroads, Wilson noted the new restaurant is close to Lost Island Waterpark and a considerable amount of senior housing in the area.

Crews are working on both Interstate 81 and Interstate 690 and it's causing longer commutes and traffic jams for many drivers.

The summer season is prime-time for construction projects. If you need proof of that, just look at two major highways that run through Syracuse.

Crews are working on both Interstate 81 and Interstate 690 and it's causing longer commutes and traffic delays.

The delays coming into Syracuse on Interstate 81 north are heavy; it's right where downtown traffic comes onto the highway at the hospitals. Crews are closing the two left-side, the through lanes, between 9am and 2:30pm to avoid rush hour, but that means the work time is shortened, so the closures are expected to continue until Thursday.

That closure has proven especially tough when people approach the Interstate 690 interchange, according to state Department of Transportation spokesperson Gene Cilento. "A lot of the people coming up from the ramp wanna go left, and people on 81 wanna go right," he explains. "So there's a lot of weaving, a lot of movement of traffic in that small area. And, this is one of the busiest road areas in Syracuse, seeing almost 100-thousand vehicles daily.

It's going to be longer before the I-690 work near Teall Avenue is done - workers are almost halfway through this year's portion of a two-year project to rebuild the elevated areas of the highway there. However, after months of demolition dismantling, onlookers are now starting to see construction at the site.

"The pile driving just started within the past few days and there's also work going on clearing some demolition work on the Teall end of the bridge," Cilento said.

The massive construction project - and all the detours along Beech Street - is also tough on businesses in the area like Edward Joy Electric. They're working extra hard to let people know they're still in business."We just want to make sure that, with this construction and with the detours, they know that we're still open," Brandon Turner of Edward Joy Electric said. "We will be open even when they close the other exits as well."

There is some good news for the businesses and people who live close to the construction: It was really loud last week, as concrete was pounded off the bridge decks, but most of the demolition is done and the building phases should be quieter.

With summer construction comes backups, delays on Syracuse's major highways - CNYcentral.com

This northern suburb has long lured diners to its popular 3-mile-long Restaurant Row along Milwaukee Avenue. But despite its gastronomic prominence, the village of Wheeling has no real downtown, even though it was founded in 1894.

That is about to change.

After years of planning and overcoming obstacles, the construction of a downtown is finally underway in the village 30 miles northwest of Chicago.

What does a new downtown cost? The tab here is $110 million.

A town center will rise on a 16.2-acre vacant site created by the demolition of the bankrupt Wickes Furniture property on Dundee Road at Northgate Parkway. The site is surounded by existing structures that set the stage for a downtown area, such as the village hall, police and fire stations, park district recreational building, aquatic center, ball fields, a lake and a commuter rail station on Metra's North Central Service line.

Presently, crews are laying foundations for the town center. Here's what to expect at the opening, slated for late 2018: A five-story, 300-unit apartment building will wrap around a 25,000-square-foot plaza with a pool, putting green, bocce court, fire pit, barbecue grills and a gazebo. The courtyard will serve as a central gathering place for residents and the surrounding community.

Nearby, the center's 100,000-square-foot retail area will be anchored by a 10-screen CMX movie theater with reclining seats and dining and cocktail options. City Works Eatery and Pour House of the Chicago-based Bottleneck Management restaurant group will be across from the theater, and other restaurants and shops will be a short walk from the apartments.

The town center is expected to provide a considerable boost to Wheeling's population, which now stands at more than 38,000.

"The town center will revitalize the community and become a destination for the area," said Patrick Horcher, Wheeling village president. He said it is the most upscale development in town.

"It has been a long time in coming," he said, alluding to the project'sups and downs. "After the village bought the Wickes property in 2008, it was a challenge to find a developer to do the town center. The site stood vacant for a while and was costing the village in lost property tax revenue."

The long planning process required the village to reach agreements with many stakeholders in the complex public and private project. These included the U.S Postal Service, a fuel pipeline company, Metra, the Wheeling park district and an existing Burger King near the entrance to the town center that was concerned about access and signage, according to John Melaniphy III, Wheeling's director of economic development.

Once the project was designed, some residents were concerned about whether the space would attract enough tenants, both residential and commercial. But after the groundbreaking in late July, Horcher concluded: "We're now on target for the town center we wanted years ago."

"I can't wait for the opening. It will be a huge new focal point in the village," said Neal Katz, a 30-year resident of Wheeling. He believes that " People will be moving back."

"The town center will enhance property values and be a catalyst for future development," Melaniphy said. "It will change Wheeling's image, which has previously been known as blue collar because of our industry."

He suggested that the town center will benefit existing retail and restaurants rather than rankle them as a source of competition. "Because (the town center) is projected to be a regional attraction, it will draw out-of-town customers to the village's other retail and restaurants," he said.

Melaniphy estimated the town center could generate $1 million a year in sales tax revenue.

"The town center will keep more shopping dollars here and will add a more cosmopolitan character to the village," commented Neena Pottoore, executive director of the Wheeling/Prospect Heights Chamber of Commerce.

That citylike feel is expected to woo renters Melaniphy said most of the apartments will be one- and two-bedrooms targeted at young professionals and empty nesters. Residents will have 500 parking spaces, while 800 slots will be dedicated to retail and dine-in movie theater consumers.

Along with shopping and cinema, a smattering of other entertainment options are in the works.

"The town center will host community events like fairs, festivals, art shows and farmer's markets," said Bradley Friedman, director of Midwest operations for the Lynmark Group of Suffern, N.Y., the project's developer.

New town centers are riding a national trend, according to Ed McMahon, an authority on sustainable development at the Urban Land Institute in Washington, D.C.

"Downtowns are the heart and soul of any community, and the future belongs to town centers. New suburban town centers are replacing failed regional malls in many parts of the country," he said.

"Wheeling's new town center will create a new place for housing, shopping, playing, eating and hanging out. The demand today is for town centers that are gathering places that attract young people as well as retirees."

Real estate experts certainly see the appeal.

"We're finally going to get a downtown. It will definitely be a big plus," said Gary Aver, broker and owner of Re/Max United in Wheeling. "It will make house values more stable and could increase them in the long run."

According to Tracy Cross, president of Schaumburg real estate consulting and market research firm Tracy Cross & Associates, the town center "should do well despite its relatively small size compared to other town center projects, such as the Glen in Glenview." The 1,121-acre Glen, built on the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station, opened in 2003.

Cross said the Wheeling town center may create a real estate ripple effect if renters at the new apartment building later decide to buy a house in the suburb. He added that one impact of the town center could be to establish a premium in housing values.

Construction projects this large sometimes generate complaints from nearby residents. However, that is not a factor here because the town center is not in a residential neighborhood. It is bounded on the west by railroad tracks, on the east by village buildings, on the south by an 85-acre park and on the north by vacant land.

The town center was designed by the Chicago office of CallisonRTKL and will be built by William A. Randolph of Gurnee.
