    Signa starts renovations on the Alte Akademie in Munich – Property Magazine International - May 24, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The city and the Signa Group were discussing details for a long time, but now the reconstruction of the Alte Akademie in the centre of Munich is finally underway. Completion of the project is scheduled for 2023. The duration of the construction phase is determined by the complexity of the process, due to the need to protect historical monuments. The work has to be carried out in individual steps, Alexander Cronauer, who is responsible for the Signa project development division in Munich, explained. Close cooperation between authorities, planners and contractors in the planning and construction phase is a key factor for the smooth handling of the work.

    Spanning an area of over 21,000 square metres, the historic building complex will offer a mixture of retail space, restaurants, modern offices and attractive apartments. The office space, covering approximately 9,000 square metres, offers flexible options for innovative spatial solutions. Modern retail concepts will be arranged effectively on around 8,000 square metres. Here, the mix of tradition and innovation that is characteristic of Munich is developed anew.

    In the initial phase, which will conclude by the end of 2020, parts inside the building that have been agreed with the preservation authorities will be dismantled, the complex construction logistics will be successively set up and the foundation will be upgraded under archaeological supervision, among other things with the aim of protecting a 15th-century ground monument. The shell structure will be dismantled next. At the same time, individual ceiling sections in the historical part of the Alte Akademie will also be dismantled and the roof truss and the existing windows renovated. With the completion of the shell work from the middle of 2022, the finishing work will begin until the handover to tenants in 2023.

    The Alte Akademie is located in one of the most attractive areas in the heart of Munich and has a 130-metre-long front in the pedestrian zone. This former Jesuit College was originally built in the 16th century. It was acquired by Signa in the form of a 65-year leasehold in 2013. In coordination with the regional capital Munich, an international single-stage realisation competition was held, and the results were presented to the public in April of 2016.

    The contract for the conversion was awarded to Basel-based architectural firm Morger Partner Architekten. The historical ensemble will be developed further in a harmonious and sensitive way. All faades will be renovated in accordance with preservation orders. Any interventions that may be necessary are based on the character of the existing architecture, which is over 400 years old.

    With construction work okayed, two major Ithaca projects move forward – The Ithaca Voice - May 19, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    ITHACA, N.Y. -- As phase one of the pandemic re-opening continues in the Southern Tier, construction projects outside of public resources and infrastructure are being allowed to move forward. Among them are two larger development previously approved for the city of Ithaca - the redevelopment of the Chacona Block (a.k.a. the old Collegetown Bagels building) at 411-415 College Avenue in Collegetown, and West End Heights on the corner of West Court and North Meadow Streets.

    Both are currently in the demolition and site preparation stage. Demolition work had previoiusly been allowed to proceed at the vacated West End Heights properties at 709-713 West Court because affordable housing development was okayed by the state as a public resource development. Demolition work on the old Chacona Block will begin on May 27th, per notice from the City of Ithaca.

    The five-story West End Heights project, developed by Lakeview Health Services, will bring sixty apartment units to the city when it comes to completion in late 2021. As previously reported, "(o)n the first floor of the $21.7 million building, office space will be available for both residents and other Lakeview clients. Twenty of the units will be reserved for people with a mental health diagnosis, and an additional 10 units are for people with a diagnosis who are also experiencing homelessness. The remaining 30 units are affordable housing (households making less than 60% area median income), with eight of those units for 'homeless or unstably housed individuals who may also have special needs relating to substance abuse and/or HIV/AIDS'".

    As is often the case with affordable housing, projects like West End Heights take years to begin construction after receiving approval from planning boards. They are dependent on federal housing grants and awards because lower-income housing doesn't have a high enough return on investment (profit) for conventional bank financing. Although the project was approved in the fall of 2017, the last needed piece of construction funding wasn't rewarded until last May. The city of Ithaca, Tompkins County and the state of New York have all contributed funds to help make the project a reality.

    Plan Architectural Studio of Rochester is the architect, while local firm Trowbridge Wolf Michaels Landscape Architects is handling the landscape designs. Another local company, T.G. Miller P.C., is in charge of the civil engineering and site surveying.

    Meanwhile, across the city in Collegetown, Student Agencies is beginning work on their new home at 411-415 College Avenue. The project has not been without controversy, as the century-old Chacona Block was debated for historical designation (landmarking). The discussion, which drew heated commentary both in favor and against the designation, which would have prevented demolition in all cases except emergency. The Common Council was split by a 5-5 vote, with the mayor casting the tie-breaking against the designation.

    As planned, the new $12 million Student Agencies building would provide first-floor commercial retail space and 56 student-oriented apartments on the second through sixth floors. A public plaza would take the place of the former Collegetown Bagels Patio space on the roundabout intersection of Oak and College Avenues. Final site plan approval for the development was granted in February, with a planned August 2021 opening. The phase one re-opening came in time for the project to stay on its original construction schedule.

    Local firm HOLT Architects designed the new building, and prolific Ithaca firm Whitham Planning and Design penned the new public plaza space. T.G. Miller P.C. did the civil engineering work, and Ithaca's Elwyn & Palmer Consulting Engineers provided further engineering work.

    Michigan Strategic Fund actions help drive economic recovery around the state, position Michigan for future prosperity – UpperMichigansSource.com - May 19, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    LANSING, Mich. (Press Release) - The Michigan Strategic Fund Tuesday approved a broad range of initiatives, business expansions and community revitalization projects to drive the economic recovery of Michigans businesses and communities and position the state for future prosperity, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced.

    Todays MSF actions build on our efforts to deploy every resource available to support Michigans businesses, communities and residents as they work to economically recover from the COVID-19 virus, said MEDC CEO Mark A. Burton. It is more vital than ever that we stay focused on restoring economic prosperity for all Michiganders and the projects approved today are putting our state in a position to not only recover economically, but to thrive.

    With Tuesdays announcement, the MEDC has deployed 14 response programs in the past two months to support small businesses, communities, entrepreneurs and workers in all corners of Michigan in combating the economic impacts of COVID-19, providing support for more than 2,700 companies and helping retain more than 11,000 jobs for Michigan workers. These programs have reached all 83 counties in the state, assisting businesses across a range of industries, including food service, retail, healthcare, construction and professional services, among others.

    New Financial and Programmatic Support Available for Small Businesses and Communities Impacted by COVID-19

    Metro Community Development, Inc., a Community Development Finance Institution based in Flint, received approval on a $2 million loan through MEDCs Capital Access program to make micro and small business loans ranging from $5,000 to $250,000 to Michigans small businesses in the 13 counties it serves, with an emphasis on businesses located in economically disadvantaged areas. The program is aimed at assisting those businesses that have been most impacted by the COVID-19 virus, such as restaurants, coffee houses, retail stores, and service providers. Businesses can use these loans primarily for working capital, acquiring machinery and equipment, and inventory.

    Metro Community Development will begin accepting loan applications today. Businesses interested in applying for a loan should visit https://www.metrocommunitydevelopment.com/business-lending to apply through the Metro Community Development BizTHRIVE program.

    The Metro Community Development loan provides business relief in counties not previously covered through a $2 million loan approved by the MSF in April to Northern Initiatives. Northern Initiatives is using the funds to assist small businesses in the 77-county region it serves. Between that loan and todays approval for Metro Community Development, businesses in all counties in Michigan except Wayne have been provided access to micro loan funds through the MEDC Capital Access program. It is anticipated that a similar loan will be recommended to cover Wayne County at an upcoming MSF meeting.

    The Michigan Strategic Fund today also approved updated guidelines to the MI State Trade Expansion Program (MI-STEP) to increase the reimbursement ceiling from 50 percent to 75 percent for international website development for companies impacted by COVID-19. Activities may include website translation, search engine optimization and localization services. The increased cap will help provide greater support for companies in going global with their business, making it more favorable for them to participate in export activities. The approved changes, based on directives from the U.S. Small Business Administration as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, also include increasing caps for allowable reimbursements for small- and medium-sized businesses engaged in exporting activities.

    MI-STEP is designed to spur job creation by empowering Michigan small businesses to export their products and is administered by MEDCs Export and International Trade Program. MEDCs MI Project Exception Program (MI-PEP), which provides export assistance to companies that do not meet the SBAs small business requirements, also received MSF approval of similar updates to its guidelines so that it remains consistent with the MI-STEP program.

    The MSF also approved the 2019 Action Plan amendment for the Community Development Block Grant program, which includes incorporating $20.5 million in CDBG Coronavirus Response funds into the program to be used for CARES Act eligible activities.

    Over the past two months, we have responded with agility to expand existing programs and develop specific relief efforts to face the current crisis while keeping our attention on the future economic needs of the state, Burton said.

    Key Michigan Industries Expanding with MSF Support

    Additional projects approved today by the Michigan Strategic Fund are providing key opportunities to support businesses that serve as a foundation to create high wage growth and regional impact across the state. This includes business growth projects in critical industries including medical device manufacturing and automotive manufacturing.

    Packaging Compliance Labs is a medical device packaging engineering and testing firm headquartered in the city of Kentwood. The company specializes in assisting global medical device manufacturers in speeding new medical devices to market while maintaining regulatory compliance to FDA and international requirements.

    PCL is experiencing increased demand and plans to expand at its Kentwood facility, a project that will generate a total private investment of $2.57 million and create 27 high-wage jobs. PCL is also heavily invested in the training and development of its employees with its implementation of PCL University to put employees in a position for upward mobility. As a result, PCL has been awarded a $135,000 Jobs Ready Michigan program performance-based grant. Michigan was chosen over competing sites in Denver and Tampa.

    The Jobs Ready Michigan program was designed to provide grants for business expansion and location projects that lead to job creation and investments in Michigan that have a demonstrated training need, particularly in pursuing new opportunities for high-tech, high-demand, and high-wage jobs.

    PCL has a worked closely with the Right Place, MEDC and several other local organizations since our inception in 2014. We are grateful to have these support systems available in our community, said Packaging Compliance Labs President Matthew Lapham. This grant is another example of the great resources offered to small businesses here in Grand Rapids.

    The Right Place has offered staff time and resources in support of the project. Individuals interested in careers with PCL should visit https://pkgcompliance.com/careers-internships/.

    ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Americas Corporation is a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel and mining company, serving the automotive industry including all major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. In November 2016, the company received a $2 million Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant for plans to establish a manufacturing facility in the I-94 Industrial Park in the city of Detroit. The project was expected to generate a total capital investment of $83 million and create 120 jobs, and was the companys first and only facility in Michigan.

    The company has reached its milestones and has recently secured new business to begin manufacturing contracts with two different automotive OEMs. The new product lines will require an expansion at ArcelorMittals existing facility in Detroit. As a result, the Michigan Strategic Fund today approved an increase to the companys MBDP grant and a five-year, 100-percent State Essential Services Assessment exemption valued at $379,200. ArcelorMittal pays higher than average wages and provides employees with an intensive technical training program, allowing the company to retain highly skilled employees.
