Retail buildings are of five basic types; down-town shopping centres, single storey supermarkets, warehouse-type distribution centres , mixed use retail and commercial/residential buildings in which the retail units generally occupy the ground floor and superstores. The retail sector is very competitive and therefore the attributes of steel construction to deliver flexible, lightweight solutions fast and cost effectively makes steel the material of choice for the sector.

Customer experience is paramount in retail buildings. Using steel construction, retail floor plans are maximised giving retailers the maximum scope to configure store layouts to maximise sales to their targeted customers.

Many retailers, particularly supermarkets, are owner occupiers and therefore, unlike some other commercial sectors, they have a greater interest in whole life cost and added value through sustainable design. Consequently, the retail sector is leading in the procurement of sustainable, low carbon buildings.

Large retailers also procure large distribution centres and many supermarket chains are diversifying and consequently procuring mixed-use buildings that for planning reasons often include a number of upper floors of residential use.

Main articles: Cost of structural steelwork, Single storey industrial buildings, Cost planning through design stages, Cost comparison study

The principal building design issues that affect the chosen solution in the retail sector include:

The different building types of the retail sector may be defined as:

The scale and form of retail buildings differs considerably, as do the constraints on their construction. The drivers in these five building sectors are described below. In all cases, early return on the investment is crucial to the success of the project, but this over-riding commercial requirement is also dependent in many ways on the environment that is created, and hence by the shopping experience. This means that architectural input is important despite the functional use of the space that is required.

A good example of the architectural use of steel construction was in the recently competed Victoria centre in Belfast which involved creating covered pedestrian streets and a cupola viewing gallery using a tubular steel space frame spanning between multi-storey steel framed retail buildings. The covered street-scape and viewing platform is shown.

Retailers, including those in the Philly retail space market, are struggling to develop a strategy for future sales growth that balances online expansion and opening new stores, according to new retail analysis.

BDO USAs ninth annual analysis of risk factors noted by the 100 largest U.S. retailers in their most recent annual reports found that retailers were highly concerned about the best way to fund their growth, even as the retail industry enjoyed solid year-over-year industry performance, positive sales projections, strong consumer confidence and other positive economic indicators.

BDO said the number of U.S. companies that cited U.S. growth and expansion as an area of risk reached 92 percent this year, up from 56 percent in 2013. Retailers in the U.S. and Philadelphia retail space marketplace are vigorously seeking new ways to increase sales and reinforce store brands, while also recognizing the need for an omnichannel marketing approach to satisfy consumers increasing demand for online shopping options.

BDO said retailers moved away from primarily investing in new bricks and mortar stores in 2008. As online buying by consumers ramped up, retailers return on the investment in new stores diminished and capital investments were redirected to online sales, supply chain networks and systems implementations. But with spending in those areas less proven, retailers noted a increased risks with the new investment strategies.

Eagle Sales of the Black Hills

Project Description: Eagle Sales of the Black Hills, a major beverage distributor, has relocated its headquarters to accommodate the growth the company has seen over the last decade. The new facility includes plush office space, tap room with outdoor balcony, temperature controlled warehouse, and a separate colder-storage space. The building was a Design Build project and is constructed of concrete tilt-up panels with rigid insulation sandwiched in the middle. This insulation and thermal mass of the concrete will provide superior energy efficiency for the entire facility. The massive concrete-panels are a daunting 25' tall, and were delicately lifted into place by a talented Rapid City construction team, and a large crane. The new location gives Eagle Sales excellent access to I-90 and Hwy 79/Heartland Express.

Space tourism is space travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. A number of startup companies have sprung up in recent years, such as Virgin Galactic and XCOR Aerospace, hoping to create a sub-orbital space tourism industry. Orbital space tourism opportunities have been limited and expensive, with only the Russian Space Agency providing transport to date.

The publicized price for flights brokered by Space Adventures to the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft have been US $2040 million, during the period 20012009 when 7 space tourists made 8 space flights. Some space tourists have signed contracts with third parties to conduct certain research activities while in orbit.

Russia halted orbital space tourism in 2010 due to the increase in the International Space Station crew size, using the seats for expedition crews that would be sold to paying spaceflight participants.[1][2] Orbital tourist flights are planned to resume in 2015.[3]

As an alternative term to "tourism", some organizations such as the Commercial Spaceflight Federation use the term "personal spaceflight". The Citizens in Space project uses the term "citizen space exploration".[4]

As of September 2012[update], multiple companies are offering sales of orbital and suborbital flights, with varying durations and creature comforts.[5]

After early successes in space, much of the public saw intensive space exploration as inevitable. Those aspirations are memorialized in science fiction including ArthurC. Clarke's AFall of Moondust and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Joanna Russ's 1968 novel Picnic on Paradise, and Larry Niven's Known Space stories. Lucian in the 2nd century AD in his book True History examines the idea of a crew of men whose ship travels to the Moon during a storm. Jules Verne also took up the theme of lunar visits in his books, From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon. RobertA. Heinleins short story The Menace from Earth, published in 1957, was one of the first to incorporate elements of a developed space tourism industry within its framework. During the 1960s and 1970s, it was common belief that space hotels would be launched by 2000. Many futurologists around the middle of the 20th century speculated that the average family of the early 21st century would be able to enjoy a holiday on the Moon. In the 1960s, Pan Am established a waiting list for future flights to the Moon,[6] issuing free "First Moon Flights Club" membership cards to those who requested them.

The end of the Space Race, culminating in the Moon landings, decreased the emphasis placed on space exploration by national governments[7]:7 and therefore led to decreased demands for public funding of manned space flights.[8]

The Soviet space program was aggressive in broadening the pool of cosmonauts. The Soviet Intercosmos program included cosmonauts selected from Warsaw Pact members (from Czechoslovakia, Poland, East Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania) and later from allies of the USSR (Cuba, Mongolia, Vietnam) and non-aligned countries (India, Syria, Afghanistan). Most of these cosmonauts received full training for their missions and were treated as equals, but especially after the Mir program began, were generally given shorter flights than Soviet cosmonauts. The European Space Agency (ESA) took advantage of the program as well.

The U.S. space shuttle program included payload specialist positions which were usually filled by representatives of companies or institutions managing a specific payload on that mission. These payload specialists did not receive the same training as professional NASA astronauts and were not employed by NASA. In 1983, Ulf Merbold from ESA and Byron Lichtenberg from MIT (engineer and Air Force fighter pilot) were the first payload specialists to fly on the Space Shuttle, on mission STS-9.[9][10]

In 1984, Charles D. Walker became the first non-government astronaut to fly, with his employer McDonnell Douglas paying $40,000 for his flight.[11]:7475 NASA was also eager to prove its capability to Congressional sponsors. Senator Jake Garn was flown on the Shuttle in 1985,[12] followed by Representative Bill Nelson in 1986.[13]

Moscow Commercial Real Estate Construction May Fall Threefold

OWOSSO (WJRT) - (04/10/15) Some Owosso eyesores will be demolished soon to make way for a new restaurant and retail center.

Owosso business leaders say the construction project is more proof that the city's economy is picking up steam.

On the east side of Owosso, at M-21 at Gould Street, sits a former dry cleaner and three run-down houses. Those will be demolished soon.

Commercial development continues to work its way from the outskirts of town toward downtown Owosso.

"Qdoba's going to be the anchor tenet there and then they're going to have a couple of other retail spaces as well," said Jeff Deason, of the Shiawassee Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The Eastside Cleaners will be demolished, as will three houses to the west.

"We also had the Habitat for Humanity folks go in and take out everything that could be used again," Deason said.

Slowly, some of the less attractive buildings in Owosso are being replaced.

"I think that people are starting to see that coming into your town, making sure that the homes and businesses as you enter the town look good, are neat and well kept," Deason said.

The past year has seen the Owosso area economy come roaring back. Unemployment is way down.

New restaurant, retail space coming to Owosso

NEW YORK, April 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 26, 2015, construction manager, Turner Interiors, turned over 120,000 s.f. of pristine luxury retail space known simply as 230 Vesey Street within Brookfield Property Partners' 375,000 s.f. retail offering at Brookfield Place. The renovation, part of Brookfield's $300 million transformation of the former World Financial Center, is a clear indication that Lower Manhattan has become the new luxury retail, dining and cultural "it" spot.

Fueling this trend has been the relocation of technology, advertising, media and information (TAMI) firms, such as Time Inc., whose 700,000 s.f. headquarters is under construction at 225 Liberty Street, and an influx of luxury residential developments. In addition, new and planned tourist destinations, such as the National September 11 Museum and Governors Island, which will re-open on May 23, 2015 after undergoing extensive site improvements, are attracting tourists from all over the World. Brookfield Place is part of over 2 million square feet of new and repositioned retail, dining and cultural space that caters to residents, professionals, and tourists living, working and playing in Lower Manhattan (Source: Downtown Alliance).

"The success of this project is not only attributed to our ongoing relationships with the project's stakeholders, but also to our understanding of the value that Brookfield placed on this project, and its importance in revitalizing Lower Manhattan," said Edward Magnani, vice president at Turner Interiors.

Home to luxury brands DVF, Michael Kors, and Theory, 230 Vesey Street also serves as a pedestrian artery connecting the 250 and 200 Vesey Street buildings to the Winter Garden, Marina and World Trade Center Transportation Hub.As such, construction manager Turner Interiors negotiated complex site logistics to ensure that critical pathways in and out of Brookfield's 8 million square foot complex remained 100% accessible to building occupants.

Since the start of construction in July 2013, Turner constructed "pedestrian chutes" spanning hundreds of feet between the adjoining buildings. These chutes, comprised of sidewalk sheds constructed within the existing pathways, were used to support fire safety systems, such as smoke detectors and sprinkler heads.The sheds were then sealed behind a layer of drywall, giving the new pathways a finished look.As project phases were completed, the chutes were deconstructed and repositioned to facilitate future renovations."During this entire process we remained in constant communication with the client, design team and community groups," said Lauren DiNizo, project manager at Turner Interiors.

"Throughout the entire project, Turner proved themselves, executing complex construction activities while managing a myriad of field conditions to stay on budget and on schedule," observed Christian Heimple, PE, director of construction at Brookfield.A sentiment echoed by Scott Hayden, senior associate at Spector Group, Brookfield Place's executive architect, "we could not have had a more professional and dedicated group than Turner Interiors."

With venerable couturiers Hermes, Salvatore Ferragamo and a Saks Fifth Avenue luxury outpost confirmed as tenants, Brookfield Place sits at the center of more than $25 billion of new construction that has transformed 30 acres of Lower Manhattan into the definitive destination for retail, dining and culture.

Lower Manhattan is New York's new "IT" spot

Cond Nast gluttons eager to chow down at Eataly, the Italian gourmet mega-market due to open at 4 World Trade Center, will have to settle for nearby Majestic Pizza for a while.

A dispute between the Port Authority and WTC mall operator Westfield has held up Eatalys access to its 41,000- square-foot floor.

While its unclear whos at fault, Westfield has balked at taking the keys from the PA, according to multiple sources. Until Westfield takes possession, it cant turn retail space over to Eataly which will be close to Cond Nasts 1 WTC offices or other tenants.

The untimely impasse makes it increasingly questionable whether hotly awaited Eataly and other retailers in the complex will have time to open their doors this year. Westfield also has signed leases with Michael Kors, Turnbull & Asser, John Varvatos and restaurateur Daniel Boulud, among others.

The PA gave access two months ago to Westfield for Eataly and other stores inside 4 WTC and underground corridors although not to the unfinished train station Oculus. But until Westfield signs off on the handover, tenants cant start construction, much less move in, sources said.

Officials and reps for both the PA and Westfield declined to comment.

However, an insider said, PA contractors are waiting for Westfield to sign off on the work or come back with a punch list but so far the PA is still waiting. Meanwhile, Westfield is telling retailers the delay is due to the PA.

The PA only just began installing glass for the Oculus roof of the Santiago Calatrava-designed Transportation Hub, and it cant turn the vast hall over to Westfield until that jobs done later this year. But it was unclear whether the timing has anything to do with Eataly, far removed from the Hub.

The mystery of when Eataly will open is just part of WTC retail buzz, which includes the tale that Calatrava, who visited the site Wednesday, once playfully threw an iPhone at Apple staff during an argument about design changes Apple wanted made for a possible store in the Oculus.

Westfield said last December that it would probably launch the WTCs total 350,000-square-foot store and restaurant sections in the second half of 2015. Its since backed off the idea of holding a grand opening for the whole megillah, saying it is expected to open in stages from 2015.
