Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Maserati North America introduced the brands model year 2021 vehicles at Willow Springs, California showcasing their dynamic performance capabilities on the race track and road. This new range of vehicles feature a variety of design and technology upgrades, such as updated styling to create a more unified look for the Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte, along with a new generation MIA (Maserati Intelligent Assistant) multimedia system.

Each of the three models have specific changes, all of which reflect the same philosophy, making these MY21 vehicles instantly recognizable. Distinctive design features include a new front grille and rear light clusters that provide a boomerang shape inspired by the 3200 GT. In each of the MY21 vehicles, these clusters feature a three-color lens as a result of using a state-of-the-art 3K injection moulding technology. The boomerang shape has black around the edge, red in the middle and clear in the bottom section.

The MIA multimedia system is powered by an Android Automotive operating system, offering a new and innovative user experience with full personalization capabilities. Integrated into this system for all MY21 models and beyond is the new Maserati Connect program that keeps the driver informed of the cars health, alerts them when the vehicle needs to be serviced, and assists in emergencies and instances of car theft. Drivers can stay in contact with their car via the Maserati Connect app or virtual personal assistant, such as Google Assist and Amazon Alexa. MY21 vehicles also feature Active Driving Assist, which has been added to the ADAS already available in the Levante, Ghibli and Quattroporte.

Active Driving Assist is an evolution of Highway Assist. Its a hands-on function intended for use on any kind of well-maintained road and, while previous versions were only usable on highways, today it is available on any well-maintained road at speeds up to 90 mph with the Adaptive Cruise Control system activated. It reduces driver fatigue and enhances active safety by allowing the car to keep itself centered in its lane and to adapt its pre-selected speed in full autonomy, employing a radar unit and a forward-looking camera, working with the EPS to control the direction of the car.

LevanteThe Levante, known as the Maserati of SUVs, features an innovative front grille with tuning fork design in the MY21 model, which is available in chrome for the GranLusso trim and Piano Black for the GranSport. The existing distinctions between trims remain unchanged. Inside, the Levante has received significant updates both in design and technology with the central display and instrument cluster. The Levantes 8.4-inch display screen has an improved resolution and graphics with a visual effect that makes it look like a single curved screen with the air vents cut into it, enabling vertical reading of the whole display. The name Maserati is also screen-printed on the back of the screen in the bottom of the display, for a three-dimensional effect.

There has also been a sophisticated change to the instrument cluster, which includes a large rev counter and speedometer (still analog but with updated graphics) on either side of a 7-inch TFT display. Much of the plastic from the previous versions has been eliminated, and replaced with real anti-glare flat glass covers over the instruments. All these changes give the instrument cluster a more high-tech look and generate a richer impression and are applied to the Ghibli and Quattroporte models, as well.

The model year 2021 Levante collection includes the Levante, Levante S, Levante GTS and Levante Trofeo.

GhibliIn addition to the rear light clusters, the MY21 Ghibli also features an updated grille with Maserati tuning fork that is available in chrome for the GranLusso trim and a sportier Piano Black for the GranSport.

The central screen in the Ghibli, has now been enlarged to 10.1-inches with a ratio of 16:10 with high-resolution display and multi-touch functionality. The glass in the top of the display is now curved for a more elegant look, making it the first time this feature has been used in automotive design.

The model year 2021 Ghibli collection includes the Ghibli, Ghibli S, Ghibli S Q4 and Ghibli Trofeo.

QuattroporteThe Quattroporte, Maseratis flagship, also features the upgraded grille with the same GranLusso and GranSport offerings as the Levante and Ghibli, along with the enhanced boomerang-shaped lighting cluster at the rear. Additionally, like the Ghibli, this model has a new central screen, enlarged to 10.1-inches with the curved glass top. The model year 2021 Quattroporte collection includes the Quattroporte, Quattroporte S Q4 and Quattroporte Trofeo.

Trofeo CollectionIn addition to the new V6 models for 2021, the Trofeo collection has been expanded to include the Ghibli and Quattroporte. Now, all three models feature a V8 engine that produces 580hp, making the Ghibi Trofeo and Quattroporte Trofeo the fastest Maserati sedans ever built, with a top speed of 326 km/h or 203 mph. The Levante Trofeos maximum speed is 302 km/h or 187 mph. These vehicles also feature the Integrated Vehicle Control (IVC) system, providing enhanced driving dynamics, greater active safety and superior performance. Both sedans have the Corsa button for a sportier driving style and Launch Control that unleashes the full amount of power from the V8 to deliver an authentic Maserati experience. In line with the other MY21 models, the Trofeo collection features the new boomerang rear light cluster and MIA system with Maserati Connect program.

Zegna PELLETESSUTA Woven Leather Interior AvailableThe soft, luxurious, lightweight Zegna PELLETESSUTA material is not only durable but brings comfort and beauty to Maserati interiors. The result of years of research and using thin strips of nappa leather in place of fabric yarns which are woven together and interlaced replicating the traditional method of weaving cloth to obtain a real fabric from leather. This method is an example of combining new avant-garde technologies with century-old traditions to create innovation. Through a longstanding partnership between Zegna and Maserati, two historical Italian companies, Maserati is the only automotive company to bring this elevated exclusive interior to the market. This Zegna PELLETESSUTA interior is available as an option across all three nameplates on Gransport/GranLusso trims and GTS and Trofeo.

MC20 PrototypeA static prototype of the 2022 MC20 joined the MY21 range in Willow Springs following its highly anticipated global debut in September 2020. This new super sports car signifies a new era for Maserati, combining luxury, performance and sportiness, and features the new Nettuno engine. This V6 produces 621hp with 730 Nm (538 lb-ft) of torque, delivering 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 2.9 seconds (0-60 miles in under 2.9 seconds) and a top speed over 325 km/h (202 mph). MC20 vehicles will begin arriving in North America this fall.

Maserati produces a complete range of unique cars with an amazing personality, immediately recognisable anywhere. With their style, technology and innately exclusive character, they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a global automotive industry benchmark. A tradition of successful cars, each of them redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance, comfort, elegance and safety, currently available on more than seventy markets internationally. Ambassadors of this heritage are the Quattroporte flagship, the Ghibli sports sedan, now also available in hybrid version, the Trident Brands first electrified car, and the Levante, the first made by Maserati SUV, all models denoted by use of the choicest materials and technical solutions of superlative excellence. A complete range, including V6 and V8 petrol, 4 cylinder hybrid and V6 diesel powerplants, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drive. The ranges prestige was recently even further enhanced by the introduction of the new Trofeo Collection, comprising Ghibli, Quattroporte and Levante, equipped with the powerful 580 hp V8 engine. The top-of-the-range is the new MC20 supercar, powered by the ground-breaking Nettuno V6 engine, incorporating F1-derived technologies now made available in the power unit of a standard production car for the first time. Today, the Maserati range is produced at three plants: Ghibli and Quattroporte are built at Grugliasco (Turin) at the Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli Plant (AGAP), and Levante at the Mirafiori Plant in Turin. The new MC20 supercar is produced in Modena, at the historic Viale Ciro Menotti plant.

Project Funding and Development Funds were made available in 2019 and 2020 from the Adjustable Block Program under the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA), passed in December of 2016. Area residents, businesses, governmental organizations and non-profits all pay into a renewable energy fund, which is collected on each customer's monthly ComEd bill. The available funds were highly competitive in that less than 30% of the applications submitted received approval. "We are pleased to have delivered on our commitment to develop projects that provide environmentally friendly low-cost power for the City of Plano," said Chris Childress, Development Director Progressive Business Solutions. Plano's Solar Farm joins Kendall County, Fox Metro Water Reclamation, and Mooseheart Child Cityas the largest "behind the meter" solar development in Chicagoland's Fox Valley Area. The Solar Field was built, owned and operated by WCP Solar of Naperville, IL who was the successful low bidder. "This development will generate over 1.2 million kWh per year and 30 million kWh over the term of the project. For reference, the average home consumes around 10,000 kWh per year," Said Dr. Everton Walters, President of WCP Solar."We appreciate being selected by the City of Plano and are pleased to get this project online and energized."

"No new taxpayer dollars were used to build the Solar Fields," said Arnie Schramel, Managing Partner Progressive Business Solutions. "We helped originate, competitively bid the solar field construction, and found the financial resources to fund the project. The City of Plano will receive approximate 65% of its power from the field to run the Water Treatment Facility at a cost, substantially below market for a period of 25 years," per Mr. Schramel.

Carbon Emissions ReductionCost reductionis not the only benefit for the Community. By generating over 30 million kWh during the project, it will reduce Carbon Emissions by over 8,484 metric tons. According to the EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalency Calculator, that is equivalent to eliminating over 9,135 passenger cars or eliminating 23 million gallons of gasoline.

CITY OF PLANO SOLAR FIELD

Frequently Asked Questions?

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING NOW IN ILLINOIS?

With the passage of the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA) of 2016 Solar became a financially viable option for Illinois consumers. With the passage of the FEJA a fund was established to create Renewable Energy Credits (REC's) that would be given to Solar Companies to help offset the cost of building the solar fields. Illinois has a renewable energy goal of 25 percent of all electricity by 2026 and Behind the Meter Solar projects such as this one, will help meet this goal.

WHO FUNDED THE FUTURE ENERGY JOBS ACT?

All residents, business, governmental organizations and non-profits pay into a renewable energy fund which is collected on customer's ComEd and Ameren bill. By being selected the City of Plano was able to recapture some of the money collected and put it to work for the taxpayer reducing the County's electric cost.

WAS THIS PROJECT COMPETATIVELY BID?

This project was competitively bid to ensure that the lowest qualified bidder was chosen. WCP Solar was chosen from more than 10 solar companies who inquired or presented a bid and participated in the site visit.

HOW DID THE PROJECT CREATE LOCAL JOBS?

Progressive Business Solutions regularly works with local businesses to develop and construct solar facilities. This solar field was designed, constructed, and financed by WCP Solar an Illinois Company located in Naperville. Illinois companies provided services including but not limited to development, engineering, construction, and site preparation. The solar industry included over 250,000 workers in 2019. Since the first Solar Jobs Census was published, American solar jobs have increased 167% since 2010.

IS THERE A DANGER FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY?

No, A security fence surrounds the solar energy facility in accordance with the City of Plano's applicable electrical and building codes.

WILL ENDANGERED SPECIES BE IMPACTED?

No, Prior to project construction, a development team screened the site for potential impacts to federal and state listed species, including a comprehensive tree study.

DOES THE SOLAR PROJECT PRODUCE LIGHT OR GLARE?

Only a security light for property access. The solar project itself does not produce any light. It actually absorbs light to create energy. As a result, solar panel are designed to minimize glare.

WILL THE SOLAR PROJECT PRODUCE ANY NOISE?

Electrical inverters which convert power from direct current (DC) to AC and associated electrical equipment can generate noise at a solar energy site. The low hum of the electrical equipment is not generally heard at distances greater than 100 feet from the electrical equipment. Noise can also be generated during periodic mowing and trimming of the facility during operation.

WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING THIS?

The City of Plano, Kendall County, Fox Metro Water Reclamation District, all Kendall County Municipalities were selected to participate in this program. Additionally, Mooseheart Child City in Kane County was selected. Together these solar fields represent Chicagoland's Largest Solar Development located in the Fox Valley. All four fields and are operating as expected. Together these solar fields will generate $14.5 million dollars in lower electric costs and generate over 255 Million kWh of environmentally friendly energy. 100% of the solar projects developed by Progressive Business Solutions received funding and are "Energized" and fully operational.

IS IT TO LATE TO PARTICIPATE?

Although the initial round of funding is closed. Progressive Business Solutions is currently working with area Municipal and Business leaders to ensure that they are included in the next round of funding which is expected to be in Mid 2021 or 2022. The State Legislature is currently considering how to repopulate the FEJA fund. It is important to get your project application submitted to ensure you are on a waitlist when the new funding is approved. If you wait until the rules/funding becomes available you are likely to be too late as the waitlist candidates have been made a priority in the past.

Todays challenging housing market means homeowners need to think like potential buyers to bring off that successful home sale. What would make a house desirable to you if you were in the market for a new home? Taking some of the simple, relatively inexpensive steps below can help you make your home appealing, perhaps even irresistible, to potential buyers. Here are four easy ways to improve your home before putting it on the market.

Estate agents these days are encouraging sellers to stage their home, which can include anything from doing a massive clearing out of clutter to simply lighting a fire to create a warm, welcoming ambience. While professional stagers or interior designers can be hired to help set up a home to make it desirable to a buyer, with a little creativity and elbow grease, you can do it yourself for almost no cash.

First, remove all clutter, keeping in mind that less furniture lends a more spacious look to rooms and lets the buyer imagine how the house would look with his or her belongings set about. After that, thoroughly clean the entire house from attic to cellar, buffing wood floors and making sure ceilings are cobweb-free. In winter, turn the heat up and set some spices simmering on the stove before a showing; your home will be cosy and smell of just-baked pies. Warmer weather calls for the breezy allure of open windows, clutter-free decks and homey jars of flowers.

Youll want to make a smashing impression with a potential buyers all-important first glimpse of your home. Creating a beautiful exterior need not mean expensive repairs, a fancy new deck or pricey landscaping. Get out there with your garden implements and be sure the lawn is kept mowed, scraggly shrubs and hedges are trimmed, and flower beds are properly weeded. To lend a neat, well-tended look, touch up paint on doors and trim and be sure all windows are free of streaks and grime. A pool can be seen as a detriment to some potential buyers, but if you have one, be sure the area around it is clean and free of clutter. Add some potted shrubs and a pretty patio covers Los Angelesset with colourful cushions to create a little outdoor oasis.

A fresh coat of paint can work wonders to make a home look clean, bright and updated for relatively little money; paint also has the added benefit of creating new house smell. Try to stick to neutral hues, as more dramatic tones have less of a wide-ranging appeal. Whites and creams also have the advantage of creating an illusion of larger, airier rooms. Dont forget to freshen up painted trim and doors as well as walls. If you have wood floors, even a single coat of polyurethane will instantly give a newly refinished look to dingy treads and is well worth the slight inconvenience of moving furniture about temporarily.

An often-overlooked facet of home appeal is smells. While an unpleasant odour can be a deal-breaker, appealing scents like fresh flowers, scented candles or just putting a few drops of vanilla to simmer on the stove can conjure a cosy, homey atmosphere that, hopefully, the potential buyer will want to come home to. On the other hand, it is also very important to rid your home of undesirable smells, as they can make a lasting and unfortunate impression. Keep dogs freshly shampooed, make sure the litter box is clean, and try to make arrangements to have pets out of the house during a showing.

Be sure your home is thoroughly vacuumed and areas where pets tend to sleep are treated with fabric fresheners; not only might pet odours be offensive, but some potential buyers may be allergic and reluctant to buy where there have been pets in residence. Mould and mildew must be eradicated as they can be a major deal-breaker; pay special attention to damp areas like cellars and bathrooms. Trash should be removed regularly, and the refrigerator kept tidy and clean. For very little time and trouble, you can make changes to your home that will make it irresistible to potential buyers. A thorough cleaning, some fresh paint, a welcoming exterior and the sweet scents of a happy home can help sell your house in any market.

Four Easy Ways to Improve Your Home Before Putting It on the Market - Omega Underground

Youll probably have expected the 128tis cabin to outshine the vastly more humble surroundings of a Focus ST and the only slightly more materially ambitious ones of a Mgane RS 300. Indeed, it does. The BMWs cabin is a very agreeable place to be. But do glossy material trims, a glaringly wide infotainment system and embossed armrests really matter in an affordable drivers car? Or might the general comfort, support and adjustability of the drivers seat and the orientation of the controls matter more?

To this tester, while the Renault offers a good drivers seat but a more ergonomically compromised layout of controls in front of it than either of the other two cars, its the Ford that shades the BMW for driving position credit. The 128tis seats have more adjustability than the Focus STs, but theyre harder and less laterally supportive. And, for the record, no car here has the low, just-so primary ergonomics of a Honda Civic Type R.

Next, lets pick a powertrain: the versatile, characterful, exciting kind youd want in an everyday-use performance option. The BMWs does pretty well here, at least as far as its engine goes. Youd pick its torquey-feeling 2.0-litre turbo over the Renaults boosting, popping 1.8, even though its a touch too reserved for its own good. But it doesnt rev like the Fords 2.3-litre turbo, and while itll hurl the 128ti along at quite the rate, it doesnt occupy your imagination quite like the Focuss engine, either. Ive never known a four-cylinder motor to warble and thrum as genuinely as the Fords does when you select Sport driving mode, and the active exhaust switches over to its noisy pipe. Its a real audible treat.

For a gearbox, theres just no competition; not for me. I accept that a great many people who buy cars like this would now rather have two pedals than three because that suits them better for the everyday grind. But heres the thing: a manual transmission doesnt just better occupy your left hand and left leg, but your brain as well. In the manual-equipped Focus ST, your approach to every corner, and every straight that opens up in front of you after it, is so very different from how it is in either the Mgane RS 300 or the 128ti. You are fully mentally engaged in the process of preparing the Ford for whatever lies through the windscreen; of picking gears for corners deliberately, and then committing to making them work, with the cars weight and half shafts loaded and set just as you want them.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Expenditures for remodeling improvements to the owner-occupied housing stock are expected to increase in nearly all of the nations largest metropolitan areas this year, according to projections by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. Following a pandemic-induced slowdown, projections for 2021 show annual home improvement spending growing from 113% in 42 major metropolitan areas, while declining modestly at 1.5% or less in four of the 46 metros tracked. Collectively, large metro areas are expected to see stronger remodeling gains in 2021 with an average growth of almost 5% compared to an estimated gain of 2% in 2020. Fully 14 metros are projected to see robust growth above 6% this year, while an additional 17 metros are set for moderate gains between 3 and 6%.

Broad strength in house price appreciation, existing home sales, and residential construction suggest that many metros will see greater renovation activity this year, says Abbe Will, associate project director in the Remodeling Futures Program at the Center. The largest remodeling spending gains are projected to occur in relatively more affordable metros in the Sunbelt, with over 9% growth expected in Oklahoma City, Tucson, Charlotte, Phoenix, and San Antonio.

Although home remodeling is a bright spot in the economy overall, owner improvement spending is projected to contract slightly in a few high-cost metropolitan areas including New York, Denver, Boston, and San Jose, says Sophia Wedeen, a research assistant at the Center. While other higher-cost metrosWashington, DC, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattleare expected to have only modest levels of spending growth between 1 and 3% this year.

A report from October 2020 showed that residential remodeling had continue a steady expansion and was no longer in a downward projection due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to experts speaking at an online press conference hosted by the National Association of Home Builders Remodelers during the 2021 International Builders' Show, spending on residential improvements will continue to grow at a healthy pace over the next two years. Professional remodelers from across the country agreed with the forecast, citing increased demand during COVID-19 and consumer confidence.

The remodeling market declined significantly at the onset of COVID-19 in March and April 2020, but has since more than fully recovered. NAHB predicts that remodeling spending for owner-occupied single-family homes will increase four percent in 2021 and increase two percent in 2022.

"After the dip at the beginning of the pandemic, remodeler confidence bounced back, and it continues to remain at a high level, as remodeling spending is expected to reach $285 billion in 2021," said Vince Butler, CAPS, CGR, GMB, GMR, a remodeler from Clifton, Va."There is steady consumer demand as Americans are at home much more during the pandemic. This gives homeowners more time and a desire to invest in their homes."

"We're seeing more requests for proposals because of the pandemic," Tim Lansford, CAPS, CGA, CGB, CGP, CGR, CMP, CSP, GMB, Master CGP, Master CSP, MIRM, a remodeler from Arlington, Texas. "Because people are using their time at home now to remodel, the demand and backlog for remodeling remains high."

"NAHB estimates that real spending on home improvements will continue to increase in 2021 and 2022 throughout the COVID-19 pandemic," said Paul Emrath Ph.D., NAHB's Assistant Vice President for Surveys and Housing Policy Research. "The biggest factors prohibiting stronger growth are mainly the volatile material prices and labor shortages."

Currently, Outlet Recreation has one store in town, at 605 U.S. Highway 10 East, that sells both RVs and watercraft. That store opened this past September, after a months-long remodeling project inside and out (the building had previously housed the Boys & Girls Club Thrift Store, which moved to the west end of town).

By this spring, Outlet Recreation will also reopen the doors of its former store, at 1015 Highway 59 South, after the completion of a major remodeling project thats now underway there.

That location, which had been Outlet Recreation's home in Detroit Lakes since the company came here in late 2013, will serve as a full-on RV center, according to general manager Tony Stock, while the Highway 10 store will become a full-on marine center.

Splitting the inventory up this way, Stock said, will be good for the company as well as customers: Itll give Outlet Recreation more room for more inventory, so well have better selection, more product on hand, more lot space, and will also give customers a better experience, with staff dedicated to each part of the business.

Outlet Recreation sells recreational vehicles like motorhomes, fifth wheels and golf carts, as well as marine products like boats, pontoons and fish houses. It also offers parts and service.

As part of the major remodeling project at the Highway 10 store, Outlet Recreation completely redid the exterior of the building, giving it a taller, more modern design. (Marie Johnson / Tribune)

When the second location opens, that store will have its own expanded service center for RVs, Stock said, allowing the existing service center to focus on watercraft and doubling the companys total number of shop bays in town. That should mean more business for the service department, and faster appointment availability for people wanting service work -- another win-win.

The companys recent endeavors have created about 10 to 15 new jobs in Detroit Lakes, in everything from sales to service to lot foremen, Stock said. Some positions have already been posted; others will be in the coming months.

Were cementing ourselves into the community, to hopefully be here for many, many more years to come, Stock said. Detroit Lakes is a thriving recreational community and I cant ever see that stopping We think this is a good fit for us.

Stock has lived with his family in Detroit Lakes since 1996, and he said Outlet Recreations owners, Mike Larson and Jim Glenn, are local people here, too We feel strongly about Detroit Lakes. Even with all the crazy stuff going on in the world right now, its just a good area. Businesses helping businesses, all the time. Its a good community.

Outlet Recreation sold its RV center in West Fargo to Camping World in November 2020, and will be moving inventory from there to Detroit Lakes as part of its expansion plans here. The company still operates a marine store in Fargo, and also has stores in Clearwater and Cross Lake, Minn.

Detroit Lakes is going to be a big location for the company after the second store opens, Stock said.

He said the indoor showroom at the Highway 10 Outlet Recreation store is the largest one around: I dont know of anybody thats got a bigger indoor showroom in the state of Minnesota.

That newly remodeled building also features a customer lounge area with coffee, snacks and tables, plus a large parts and service department, multiple offices for the staff, big overhead doors for getting product in and out, new LED lighting throughout, new bathrooms and new floors.

Its really like a brand new building, said Stock. The exteriors probably the biggest difference that people notice. Once we get some of the bigger inventory off this lot and out to the other spot, youll really get a nice, good view of the building from the front.

The remodeling project at the Highway 59 location will be very similar to whats been done at the current store, he added, with the inside getting gutted and redone while the outside receives a facelift to match the look of the Highway 10 store.

This artist's rendering shows what the former Highway 59 Outlet Recreation store will look like when it reopens this spring, after a full remodel. The store will be the company's second one in town, joining its existing store on Highway 10 East. It will serve as an RV Outlet, while the existing store becomes a marine center. (Submitted Image)
