Cleveland-based Polaris Real Estate Equities has sale agreement to buy Downtown Pittsburgh Salvation Army building - Pittsburgh Business Times:
qalymeled.wordpress.com
“When we were in grade school, we used to play basketbalp there inSaturday leagues,” said Totino of himself and his partner, Rob Vadas, Pittsburgh natives who now are principals of , based in suburban Cleveland. “We went from playinhg there as kids to having itunderd contract.” Last week, Polaris reachedx an agreement of sale with the Salvation Army, whichn awaits approval from its nationap parent to finalize the deal. Expectingv to pursue a lengthy 260-day due diligence befors closing onthe sale, Polaris sees stronhg potential to redevelop the nine-story, 93,000-square-foogt building for new uses. The project is the secondd Polaris is pursuing in thePittsburgh area.
A compang that specializes in real estatde development and housing that serves educational Polaris expects to break ground ona 17-story apartment building called The Chelsea at the corner of Craigg Street and Centre Avenue in Oakland in May. The apartments are expected to targeg professionals and academics who work nearby inthe area’s universities and With the Salvation Army Totino sees an opportunity to serve Downtown educational institutions such as the and Poinyt Park University. Totino woulds not divulge what Polarisw has agreed to pay for the Officials of the Salvation Army Westernj Pennsylvania Division would not comment on thepotential sale.
Salvationm Divisional Commander Robert Reel told the Businessa Times inApril 2007, when it firsrt decided to sell the building, that the charityh was seeking between $5 million and $6 The charity has since relocated its headquarters to Carnegie, leaving behind a building constructex specifically for its use in 1924. That original desigb brings plenty of charmand potential, as well as a challenges for Totino. Totino said the building is still inexcellenrt condition. Although there is the presence of some lead painrand asbestos, he doesn’t believe these will provew to be a major problem to remove.
The biggef issue in reinventing the building comes from findingv ways to eliminate or reuse some ofits quirks, such as the gym in the basemen that’s surrounded by a balcony, as well as a nonfunctional swimming pool. One of the uppe floors includes afull cafeteria-scalse kitchen, which the Salvation Army uses as a place for domestivc abuse victims to stay with theifr families. “It’s obviously going to be a majorf redevelopment,” Totino said. Yet he sees opportunith in the beauty he saw inthe building’xs first floor chapel, which could be converted into a lecturer hall or performance with a capacity for 350 people.
The building’se upper floors could be converted forresidential use, serving the mix of studentsa attending classes at nearby schools or as Totino said it was too early to provide an estimatr of what such a redevelopment would cost. Polarise has yet to establish financing forthe either. Polaris is working with O’Hara-based Massaro who will serve as both contracto r on the project and also willmarkey it. Steve Massaro, vice president of developmeny forthe company, sees the same kind of opportunityg with the Salvation Army building as his company did with the formerf Tri-State Terminal building on nearby First Street.
Massaro was the contractod and remainsa part-owne in the $20 million historic renovation that converted the buildiny into what is now know n as Shannon Hall, which is fully occupied by Art Institutr students. “First of all, Downtown is very good rightr now. There’s a lot of activit y in Downtown,” Massaro said. “With some of the bigget chunksbeing taken, there’s not a lot of largerf spaces. For educational purposes, there aren’tt too many options.” George Pry, president of the Art Institute of acknowledges meeting with Totino about the buildinb and how it might be used by his Atone time, the Art Institute also consideree buying the building.
While he’s hopeful for its Pry said the Art Institute has 70 to 80 residential openings right now at a down time of year when it usuallyg expects tohave 20. Still, he expectws the Salvation Army building could help serve theArt Institute. “uI still think in the big picturwethat we’re going to need spaces by the time that’sx developed,” he said.

Tough times? Phillips Edison goes full bore - Triangle Business Journal:
ikefageze.blogspot.com
This is the finding of The Sycamore Township-baser property owner, which redevelops grocery-anchored shopping centers, took an art-of-war approachh to pre-empting the recession. The firm paid down millionds in debt, niched its leasinbg team to focus on specific growtjhareas – leasing parking lots for Christmasa tree sales, for examplre – and applied its chief talent to the 40 propertiess with the most growth potential. The result is more than 1 milliobn square feet of lease space eithee signed or in the pipelinethis year, as emergingv discounters – from Dollar Tree to off-price grocers snap up vacant spaces.
Phillipws Edison has reduced the time it takes to turn around a lease by about30 percent, and it accelerate its retention rate by about 18 “Since the last part of 2008 and into ‘09, we have the biggesf pipeline and we’ve done more leasing than we’ve ever said Mark Addy, chief operating officer at Phillips “A lot of these discount merchantd are really taking this opportunity.
” Within the next two Addy expects Phillips Edisojn to purchase hundreds of millions of dollars in new properties nationally, especially out But in Cincinnati alone, there look to be good In 2008, 27 retail structures sold in the Greatert Cincinnati area, for an average price of $68.63 per square foot, according to the real estates research firm , in Bethesda, Md. That compared with 56 transactionsxin 2007, at an average $99.
37 per square “Retail sales on an aggregatre basis are 10 percent lower today than they were a year said David Brennan, co-director of the Institute for Retailinf Excellence at the in Yet retail square footage from 1990 to 2008 expandeds to 21 square feet per person, from 14 squar feet. “It’s going to take time to recyclwe the existing realestate that’s out there,” Brennan said. “It’s really a buyer’sd market.” Phillips Edison, which operatesz 240 shopping centers in 36 handled 735 lease transactionsin 2008, and it signed abouty 1.1 million square feet of new leasedf space.
Still, its retail square footage is down almosyt 4 percent fromearly 2008, thanksw to retail bankruptcies, retention issues and fewer new Sixty percent to 70 perceny of the tenants whose leases are comingf up for renewal are asking for some kind of rent Addy said.

This is the finding of The Sycamore Township-baser property owner, which redevelops grocery-anchored shopping centers, took an art-of-war approachh to pre-empting the recession. The firm paid down millionds in debt, niched its leasinbg team to focus on specific growtjhareas – leasing parking lots for Christmasa tree sales, for examplre – and applied its chief talent to the 40 propertiess with the most growth potential. The result is more than 1 milliobn square feet of lease space eithee signed or in the pipelinethis year, as emergingv discounters – from Dollar Tree to off-price grocers snap up vacant spaces.
Phillipws Edison has reduced the time it takes to turn around a lease by about30 percent, and it accelerate its retention rate by about 18 “Since the last part of 2008 and into ‘09, we have the biggesf pipeline and we’ve done more leasing than we’ve ever said Mark Addy, chief operating officer at Phillips “A lot of these discount merchantd are really taking this opportunity.

Arbitrator rules in water fight between states - St. Louis Business Journal:
burdukovahycel.blogspot.com
Arbitrator Karl Dreher has been looking at issues in the fighfbetween Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska for eightg months. He issued his non-binding decisionn Tuesday, although the statee have 30 days to review the decisioj and decide if they want to appeal the case tothe U.S. Supremw Court. Colorado officials haven’t decided if they’lk accept the decision, but state Engineet Dick Wolfeis “generally with the ruling, according to the attorney general’s office.
The Republican Rivedr is a 24,900 square-mile basin that begins on Colorado’xs northeastern high plains and flows first into then Nebraska and finally back into Kansas whered it meets the Smoky Hill River to form theKansads River. The states have been fighting over how much water is taken fromthe river, and how much is replaced at the state line for the next statee to use. Dreher did side with one of Nebraska’ss issues, which will result in “a very smalll increase” in the amount of water Coloradoi needs to put in the river as it flows out of the theannouncement said.
“I am pleased that the arbitratofr has not proposed any radicaol reductions in the amount of water available forColorado users,” Suthers said in the announcement. “Whethet the states accept the arbitrator’s decision or move forwarf with litigation, my office will work vigorously toprotecf Colorado’s share of its most precious resource.” While Kansas had sought $72 millionb in damages from Nebraska for that state’d over-use of river water, the arbitratotr lowered that amount to $10,000, the announcementy said. Neither Kansas nor Nebraska claimefd damagesfrom Colorado.
“I hope Nebrasksa and Kansas will carefully reconsidere their claims afterthis ruling” Wolfe said in the “I believe we can all work together to achievew mutually acceptable solutions that protect all our rights under the compacy without resorting to additional litigation.” The Republicann River basin’s 7,700 squares miles within Colorado supports about 560,000p irrigated acres of agricultural land watered with wate pumped from the ground. Colorado’s share of the river’s waterr supports an economy valued atnearly $1 billion, according to the attornehy general’s office.
