The announcement comes at a time when demand for multifaceted, quality-oriented construction services is surging both regionally and across the nation. The strategic expansion underscores Avatar's commitment to addressing this need with its trailblazing design-build solutions.

"It's an honor to lead Avatar Construction to new heights," says Vincent. "Our focus on cutting-edge, sustainable design is redefining what clients expect from their construction partners."

A Testament to Innovative and Sustainable Design-Build Construction

Avatar Construction is no stranger to the spotlight, with a bevy of high-profile projects already under its belt and several more both in progress and poised to start. The firm's commitment to sustainability and modern construction methods is evident in every project they undertake. Their reputation for precision and reliability in multi-family and hotel environments has made them a preferred partner for complex and large-scale projects across the region.

In partnership with Bridgewater Development of Watertown MA, several opportunities are available for qualified investors seeking lucrative CRE investments with industry leading returns.

"Our purchasing experts are able to secure high-quality products and building materials at a fraction of the cost through extensive research and offshore purchasing power," says Vincent. "This allows us to design projects with a much higher profit margin compared to other developers while still using superior designs, high-end materials, and the latest construction methods. In turn, we are able to share these profits with an elite group of investors who play a key role in the development of an exciting portfolio of projects across New England."

With a minimum investment of $50,000, investors can join an industry leader that is helping shape the future of the region.

"We've removed the stress of having to figure out what to do about lunch every day and instead, provide an array of healthful food options at no added daily charge in a beautiful space to meet."

Living a healthy and balanced life is one of Vistamar's core values, and the Viking Commons supports this value. Healthful, nutritious, and delicious lunches are prepared from scratch daily onsite. The food service partner takes a "wellness" first approach, providing custom menus that are flavorful, provide variety, and also support local and sustainable agricultural practices.

Designing the Viking Commons was a collaborative effort. The design, fundraising and building process incorporated the work of Vistamar's trustees, staff, parents, and the architect, ODAA Architecture. Care was taken to echo the innovative, open space design of the school and reinforce the School's commitment to best practices in education. The Viking Commons is one of the most dramatic building upgrades since the school was founded.

Current Builders’ Uptown Boca Project Offers Key Lessons for Construction Industry

POMANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders completed its largest construction project commission on-time, during the pandemic thanks to the firm's excellent communication strategies, tech savvy, and smart contingency planning. Uptown Boca is the most ambitious development constructed in western Boca Raton in the last 20 years.

The 38-acre site features a mixed-use program of approximately 156,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space along with 456 luxury rental units and two parking garages. The project is transformational for Palm Beach County and the pressure to meet the deadlines, despite the global issues, created a tremendous opportunity for the general contractor to test and enhance their skill set.

"Building a project of this magnitude during the pandemic provided some very valuable lessons for our team, ones we will be mindful of on all projects moving forward," said Brett Schreiber, Current Builders' Senior Project Superintendent and Partner, who managed both the retail and residential construction for Uptown Boca.

For Schreiber, enhanced communication was the key element for making this a successful project.

"There were a lot of curveballs thrown at us during this build," he explained, "The pandemic forced changes to the tenant mix and therefore to the structure. Often times, design and construction were happening simultaneously, with no room for error."

To keep track of all these major updates, the team relied on the technical prowess of Procore's construction management software to enhance efficiency. But also, elevated the art of transparent conversation and relationship building, even when it had to be done via Zoom.

"I cannot underestimate the importance of having excellent communication channels with the client/developer," he said. "No one wants to be blindsided, so when issues arose, we made sure the client understood the obstacles and was fully apprised of the plan to get the project back on track."

Often times, longer hours, nights and weekends were required to make that happen. For Schreiber, the relationships with the subcontractors were another critical factor.

"The subs can make or break your project," he continued. "And while we always treat our teams with respect and dignity, the pandemic heightened our awareness of using added motivation only when truly necessary. While the project managers always feel constant pressure, it is important to reserve the push for essential crunch times."

Dialogue with the inspectors was also a paramount reason for this massive project's success.

"Establishing a trusting relationship with the inspectors helped us complete this project on time," he explained. "We worked very closely with the inspectors, addressing issues immediately and keeping them in the loop at all times as to our progress. We also reached out to them to learn what to expect and what was going to be required to pass. Thanks to this strong level of confidence in our execution and follow through, the county was incredibly helpful in having us meet all the major inspection hurdles."

The pandemic also forced Current Builders to set up contingency plans in case the county's inspection department shut down, establish extensive COVID-19 safety protocols and make adjustments in staging and logistics due to the slow down of the supply chain.

"The entire Current Builders team is very proud of Uptown Boca," continued Schreiber. "Taking on the firm's biggest project, one that was in the media's spotlight, during the height of COVID-19, was a test of our abilities and management. Seeing the recognition and popularity this development is achieving now is very rewarding."

Current Builders is an award-winning general contractor, celebrating five decades of construction success with average annual revenues of $250 Million. Current Builders specializes in multi-family residential projects, office/warehouse buildings, commercial distribution facilities, parking garages, interior build-outs, interior and exterior renovations, all included as turnkey projects inclusive of the construction of the buildings and related site work.

The Uptown Boca project is Current Builders third commission with the development team including Rosemurgy Properties and Giles Capital Group in partnership with Wheellock Street Capital. The retail development component was led by the seasoned retail/commercial team at Schmier Property Group.

Co-Living, Perhaps Model of the Future

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Square and Lot, an innovative owner and developer of premium-quality, mixed-use properties in the Washington-metropolitan area, brings an inventive co-living option to Capitol Hill.

In January of 2020, Square and Lot broke ground on the construction of Viva, a 47-room co-living apartment building in Capitol Hill that encompasses 19,000 square feet. Then something happened: two months into construction, COVID arrived and disrupted how individuals live their daily lives. The outlook on co-living quickly evolved and so did Square and Lot. One of their key principles is remaining both malleable and creative to be able to strategically adjust to market conditions and fluctuations. The demand to adapt housing to the shifting world was imminent.

Square and Lot took major steps: outdoor spaces became even more critical and they hired landscape architect Joseph Richardson to transform the rear of their co-living building into a beautiful outdoor oasis with a comfortable living area and kitchen.

They invested to strengthen air quality: they upgraded the HVAC with a whole house HEPA (*Note 1), a mechanical air filter that traps 99% of harmful particles it encounters. Truthfully, being in a co-living apartment building with HEPA and UV light filtrations offers one of the safest living environments one could live in. Square and Lot designed the co-living beds to have dedicated bathrooms.

With 95% of the bedrooms having an en-suite bathroom, Viva boasts limited shared common elements. Square and Lot's organizational priority of building the healthiest and safest housing can additionally be recognized in their selection of fixtures. Flat surface cabinets were chosen to allow for easier cleaning, more refrigeration was added to limit common areas and even electronic locks were added to allow hands-free entry, preventing any spread.

Viva is a new development that takes living in the post-covid world extremely seriously. Leasing for Viva at 331 15th St. NE starts this month in February. The property will be managed by Vie Management, a real estate investment company that represents the future of communal housing and creates unrivaled lifestyle experiences through innovation and a commitment to excellence.

About Square and Lot:

Square and Lot designed, restored and developed 100+ units in various neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. Our asset class includes multi-family, for sale condominiums, affordable housing and co-living facilities. The principals, Amit Vora and Sima Tessema bring together several decades of entrepreneurship, real estate development and management experience.

Jacobs Real Estate Advisors sells Navona @ Live Oak Apartments

SAN ANTONIO, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Lawrence, New York based Jacobs Real Estate Advisors is pleased to announce the sale of Navona @ Live Oak Apartments, a 104-unit Class B multifamily community located in San Antonio, Texas. Originally developed and operated as a Hawthorne Extended Stay Hotel, the property was acquired by Jacobs in 2013 and underwent a repositioning project to convert the property to multifamily use.

"Our extensive research into the local hospitality and lodging markets made it very clear where the opportunity was. This property offered far more value to our investors and partners as multifamily apartments, rather than a hotel," says Sholom Jacobs, CEO and founder of Jacobs Real Estate Advisors.

San Antonio based Implicity Management was ultimately hired to navigate the process and manage the day-to-day operations, and were very successful in the conversion.

As Jody Marquez puts it "It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have personally had in the rebrand of Navona, from a short-term hotel to an apartment community. Working with Jacobs Real Estate made our success as the visions for the ultimate transformation were shared."

Rebranded Navona @ Live Oak, the multifamily property offers (68) 1-bedroo m floor plans and (36) 2-bedroom floor plans with black appliances, granite countertops and walk-in closets. Community amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center and business center.

J. Michael Watson, Managing Partner for Independence Commercial Advisors, represented Jacobs in the marketing and sale of the asset. Watson also procured the buyer - Austin, Texas based Texas Sagitarius LLC.

The Sacramento SPCA Races to Complete The Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Sacramento SPCA announced today that they have reached more than 90% of their fundraising goal to finish construction of the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center - and the non-profit organization is asking for community support to help cross the finish line.

Completion of the new 6,400 square foot animal hospital will increase the Sacramento SPCA's spay/neuter surgery capacity by 38% (to 23,000 annual surgeries), expand their low-cost vaccine and wellness clinics and help provide more animals entering the shelter with life-saving medical care.

The Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center was designed to help animals like Estelle.

When this four-week-old puppy and her littermates arrived at the Sacramento SPCA, they tested positive for Parvo, a highly contagious and often fatal disease. The shelter's medical team quickly began treatments and after making a full recovery, Estelle was placed in a loving foster home.

But Estelle's battle wasn't over, yet. After a few weeks in foster care, her family noticed that she was having trouble swallowing, and X-rays revealed an abnormal vascular ring around her esophagus, restricting her ability to consume solid food.

"One out of every five animals that enter the Sacramento SPCA needs specialized care before they can be placed up for adoption," said Sacramento SPCA CEO, Kenn Altine. "Completing the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center will allow us to say yes to more animals like Estelle, who require life-saving care."

With her surgery scheduled in February, Estelle's future looks bright. Finishing the Sacramento SPCA's state-of-the-art medical facility will ensure a hopeful future for all animals and support the emerging needs of the community in 2021 and beyond by:

* preventing animals from entering all of the region's shelters

* getting animals who enter the shelter into homes faster

* providing early detection and treatment of high-cost illnesses that force many families to surrender their animal

Thanks to a generous lead gift by local business leader and animal lover Zoe K. McCrea, as well as the generosity of individuals and community partners throughout the Sacramento region, more than 90% of the funds needed to complete the project have been raised.

The shelter is seeking the community's support to help finish the life-saving project.

As the only full-service 100% non-profit animal shelter in the Sacramento region, the Sacramento SPCA relies on donations from individuals, businesses and foundations to support their work. They are local, independent, and do not receive funding from state or local government agencies.

Donations to complete the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center can be made online or by mail to: Sacramento SPCA, 6201 Florin Perkins Road, Sacramento, CA 95828. Learn more: https://www.classy.org/campaign/zoe-k-mccrea-animal-health-center/c293556

Vistamar School Begins Construction on New Viking Commons

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened many issues of inequity across our region. Vistamar School, an independent college preparatory day school serving grades 9-12, announced construction started this week on the Viking Commons, a new commercial kitchen and gathering space for the school.

The commercial kitchen will provide a nutritious lunch daily for the entire school community, and the innovative communal space will expand ways for Vistamar's students, faculty, and staff to connect. Construction is planned to be completed by August, 2021 for the start of the new school year.

"Our school is built on community and equity. The Viking Commons will provide an important way for everyone in our school community to come together daily over a great equalizer, food," stated Chris Bright, Vistamar Head of School. "We're removing the stress of having to figure out what to do about lunch each day for everyone in the school and instead, providing an array of healthful food options at no added daily charge in a beautiful space to meet."

Design of the Viking Commons has been a collaborative process. Originally envisioned by school leadership working together with the Board of Trustees, the year-long design and fundraising process has incorporated the work of trustees, staff, parents, and the architect, OKB Architecture. The interdisciplinary project team worked diligently using an efficient, cost effective approach to maximize the positive impacts of the project while minimizing funding needed. Care was taken to echo the innovative, open space design of the school.

"As a school committed to best practices in education, our campus design deliberately accommodates and supports the dynamic needs of the community," said Kris Rone, Chair of Vistamar's Board of Trustees and parent of students, classes of '18 and '21. "The Viking Commons will be one of our most dramatic building upgrades since the School was founded."

Vistamar's community is supporting the project enthusiastically and looking forward to the opening when we return to school in August. "The Viking Commons is a natural enhancement to our school, transforming an office area and small commons area into an open-plan, state of the art kitchen and servery and a dynamic and inviting space to gather," noted Chris Bright, "and we're proud to add this powerful enhancement of our school culture and wellness focus."

About Vistamar School

Vistamar, founded in 2005, is an independent college preparatory day school serving grades 9-12. The founders' vision was to tap into the diversity of Los Angeles to bring together students who could learn from each other the skills and attitudes necessary for global citizenship. The Vistamar mission rests on three pillars: challenging academics that engage and inspire students; an intimate atmosphere that supports students with caring relationships; and a diverse community that encourages the authentic exchange of perspectives and leads students to be comfortable crossing cultural boundaries. Vistamar believes there's a better way to do high school.

Developer Provides Update on Florence Project, Potentially Offering Massive Economic Impact to The Shoals

FLORENCE, Ala. /ScoopCloud/ -- After a year in the works, downtown Florence could face a new economic boom thanks to The Mandolin, a thriving residential, retail, and office development project Bobo Family Group has proposed for the heart of the city.

When Covid-19 hit, we had to hit pause, step back, and take a look at how things might be changing. We immediately knew that retail and hospitality were going to get hit, we just didn't know how long it would last. Thankfully, we've discovered that some retail sectors have become more resilient, with grocery being one of them.

"We've spent the last six months going back and forth with our architectural, engineering, and construction team to fine tune a project Shoal's residents say they want. It's involved a tremendous amount of time and thought. Now we know we can make this idea a reality if the City decides to make this type of development a priority."

The $45.5 million development will offer modern residential units, high-class office spaces, convenient parking and jobs, totaling over $100 million in proposed ongoing economic impact for the city. Since the initial reveal, developers have been in talks with a national grocery chain to create a large, ground-floor grocery experience with space for additional offices and retailers.

The Mandolin's primary purpose is to boost the local economy and offer resources that will aid in generating greater retention of recent University of North Alabama graduates, said CEO James Bobo.

The development is proposed to occupy the space between Tennessee Street, East Mobile Street, Walnut Street, and North Wood Avenue, across from Turbo Coffee and McDaniel Window and Door.

This much-needed resource for the Shoals area cannot happen without the public's help, though. "In order to attract, develop, and retain the jobs we need for our future, we need the types of developments that will attract and retain talented people," Bobo said. "We have to start thinking proactively as opposed to reactively."

Before this dream can come true for the Shoals, The Mandolin needs your help. Members of the community are encouraged to sign the petition on change.org to make this development a Florence City Council priority.

Omaha-Based Apartment Developers Complete Their First 1,000 Apartment Units

OMAHA, Neb. /ScoopCloud/ -- SB Communities, LLC, owned by Jerry Slusky and Bob Batt, is a privately-owned real estate development company known in Nebraska and Iowa for its focus on building new, first-class apartment communities since 2013, specializing in identifying Midwest communities with populations of around 50,000 where there is a particular need for amenity-filled apartments.

SB Communities, LLC fulfills this need and develops projects with resort-style pools, innovative clubhouses, full-size fitness facilities, and individual apartments with quartz island countertops, stainless steel appliances and washer/dryers as basic amenities. They have followed this model for the past seven years, and it has been a huge success.

The company has recently passed the milestone of completing one-thousand apartment units. Jerry and Bob put their decades of experience earned in real estate development and furniture sales and marketing to give SB Communities, LLC this extraordinary pace of growth.

Bob Batt grew up and went to college in Omaha. He retired from Nebraska Furniture Mart (now a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary) after a long and successful career in marketing and executive leadership. He then joined with Jerry to create SB Communities, LLC.

Attorney Jerry Slusky has been in real estate law practice for over 45 years, most of which have been spent assisting clients in all aspects of the development of commercial real estate. Jerry is the Founder of the CRE Summit - an annual commercial real estate conference now in its 32nd consecutive year; he is also one of only seven Nebraska Fellows of the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL).

Some of the company's widely recognized projects include The Sterling Apartments of Grand Island, The Sterling Apartments of Kearney and The Sterling Apartments at Prairie Trail in Ankeny, Iowa.

Speaking about their recent achievement, Jerry said, "A thousand units is an important number. It demonstrates that we were right to invest in research and move forward with providing these communities the products they were missing. SB Communities, LLC provides a first-class apartment living experience that is more like a home, set in an amenity-filled community campus".

This achievement opens many new doors for SB Communities, LLC. Bob Batt is very optimistic about the future of the company. He says, "Mrs. B, Founder of the Nebraska Furniture Mart, often told me, 'It's not what you want. It's what the customer wants.' And that's true for this business as well! The transfer of business ideas and theory applies as we consider what the customer is wanting, not what we want."

SB Communities, LLC is also a partner in a joint venture in the development of 300 units in Papillion, NE, Axis Apartments, which opened its first two buildings last August. The company is also planning to break ground on a new 404-unit apartment community in the Prairie Trail subdivision of Ankeny, IA in May 2021.

Arizona Jobsite Adopts Enhanced COVID-19 Safety Measures to Keep Workers Safe On-Site

MESA, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- GCON, Inc. the construction management company leading Mesa Hangar, a major addition to Falcon Field Airport, announces enhanced safety measures as part of a proactive approach to on-site Health and Safety. These measures are key to keeping construction professionals healthy and working during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since the official mandate in early March, weekly group calls have been established to review site practices, discuss issues, and overcome concerns to implement new systems and practices that will likely remain new industry standards:

* Weekly analysis of jobsite to create custom social distancing plans that include staff monitoring systems to limit the flow of workers in potentially crowded areas.

* Third party services hired to set up wash stations and regularly disinfect the site.

* New COVID-19-specific site safety manuals with modeled practices from CDC recommendations are used to train subcontractors and trade partners.

* Routine monitoring processes for spotting symptoms of the virus are in place along with measures of caution to stay home for those with COVID-19 exposure.

* Personal Protective Equipment, such as gloves, safety glasses and masks, worn full-time by all jobsite personnel.

* The washing of tools prior to beginning on-site work and at shift-end as part of daily start-up and closing protocols.

"Our efficiencies have changed dramatically and it's something we all work together on. Our subcontractors and trade partners can't just show up anymore. They have to self-monitor and check for symptoms, follow dedicated entry and exit routes, and utilize washing stations regularly," says Mick Marden, Vice President of Operations for GCON, Inc. "A marker of distinction for each construction site is the guidelines that display even before entering."

With an average of 75 professionals on site each day, many of these measures were taken even before the mandate and enhanced later in an effort to maintain a proactive approach to the needs of a new construction environment.

"Our approach is bigger than the job site. We're considering families, the comfortability of the spouse, and the overall community," says Marden.

The game changer is that the job site is squeaky clean. Though in stark contrast to how the public may picture an active construction site, those at the forefront understand the imperative to create an environment that workers can confidently continue in as the industry continues to evolve.

About GCON, Inc.

GCON is a dynamic, full-service construction management company serving a diverse portfolio of clients across the US, including high-tech/mission critical to healthcare, education, office, industrial, retail, multi-family, and more.

Gerber, Enterprise Expand in Arizona as Local Development Remains Bullish

QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- GCON Inc. Construction begins in Queen Creek on a $5.8 million dual tenant building for Gerber Collision & Glass, one of the largest collision shop consolidators in North America, and privately-held Enterprise Holdings, known publicly as Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Both companies remain bullish on the valley as they break ground on 3.8 acres after two years of planning.

The project will include a 17,000 square foot building for Gerber Collision & Glass, and a new Enterprise rental facility, with car wash, on the adjacent 1.5-acre property. Vehicle repair and maintenance is considered an essential service by the Federal government.

"You still have to get your vehicles fixed," says John Rang, the Arizona developer leading the project with construction management firm GCON Inc., an Arizona-based company.

"Even through this pandemic, we continue to see a steady increase in demand for transportation services, particularly in our local markets like Queen Creek, Gilbert and San Tan Valley," says Kevin Cooper, Vice President of Arizona for Enterprise Holdings. "This newly developed property will provide us with greater capacity and a professional facility for our customers and employees."

The GCON pre-construction design team utilizes Building Information Modeling known as BIM360, a technology that allows for highly accurate prototyping and construction coordination, to streamline construction. Inside, the building will feature air-conditioned repair work bays - a rare feature for the vehicle repair industry. This is expected to draw high quality, experienced technicians who appreciate cooler working conditions. The building is equipped with state-of-the-art paint and prep booths valued at $500,000 and repair equipment valued at $250,000.

"The commitment of these companies to this exciting development is a testament to the explosive growth and opportunity of the Queen Creek/San Tan Valley trade district," states Rick Breuer, a commercial broker focused on automotive-commercial real estate.

Gerber Collision & Glass was founded in Chicago, IL in 1937 as a single auto glass and trim shop, and has grown to be part of the largest auto collision and glass repair companies in the United States and Canada. The company's optimism for expanded growth in the Valley hasn't waned, even in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and continues with plans for further investment across Arizona.

About Gerber Collision & Glass, and GCON Inc.:

Founded in 1937 by Phil Gerber, Gerber Collision & Glass has provided quality auto collision and glass repair service for more than 80 years.

GCON is a dynamic, full-service construction management company serving a diverse portfolio of clients across the U.S., including high-tech/mission critical to healthcare, education, office, industrial, retail, multi-family, and more.

Current Builders Announces New Florida West Coast Residential Project

SARASOTA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders (currentbuilders.com) today announced they have been selected as the general contractor for the Gallery 3100 residential project in St. Petersburg, Florida. The $20 million, 122-unit residential project is being developed by Mosaic at Grand Central and the architectural firm is Baker Barrios.

Current Builders will be utilizing a signature concrete design innovation on the project's 4-story parking garage. They have also developed a special community relationship to overcome a space-challenged construction site. This is the award-wining construction firm's first project on the west coast in many years. As part of their strategic expansion plan, they recently opened an office in Sarasota.

"We are honored that our first new project in this region is with the Mosaic Development Group," said Chip Angenendt, VP West Coast Division. "The three primary contacts for Mosaic, Roxanne Amoroso, Marc Mariano and Terry Wayland lead an outstanding, knowledgeable team with a dynamic vision for this inspired rental community."

The appropriately named development will feature an art gallery space in the amenity area showcasing the works of the Duncan McClellan Gallery; enhancing the reputation of this vibrant cultural city.

The project is expected to begin concrete foundations in June; however, launching the construction plan proved challenging due to tight site constraints, but Current Builders devised a solution that demonstrates their renowned community spirit.

"This project runs property line to property line; leaving no room on the site for a construction trailer or a place for our parking and laydown areas," explained Angenendt. "So, we reached out to the First Baptist International Church of St Petersburg, which owns an unused building in need of significant repair adjacent to the site and offered to transform it into a multipurpose center/office in exchange for using their property for our construction needs."

This win-win alliance is just the beginning according to Angenendt. "Giving back is in Current Builders' DNA, and we are looking forward to becoming an active part of the community through a variety of programs."

Innovation is also part of Current Builders' DNA. This is the third project to employ the firm's recently unveiled garage building system, which was developed by Mike Gillette, Vice President of CB Structures. This innovative shoring technique is an alternative to precast and post tension garages; reducing the build time by almost 25%.

The system consists of a 60,000-pound column mounted jack supported by wide flange W beams. This system eliminates the need for re-shoring under the beams which reduces costs and time, and additionally provides a 7-foot working table for iron workers and carpenters. Gillette's innovation has been used very successfully on several Current Builder's projects in Boca Raton.

Current Builders looks forward to announcing new projects on both coasts, and the team is thrilled to have a dedicated west coast office and project teams in place.

"Years ago, we built several projects on the west coast," said Angenendt. "But with this newly established office in Sarasota, we can truly become part of the community and realize Current Builders' mission in this region."

In Uncertain Times, Olerio Homes Breaks Ground on New Development in North Dallas

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- In uncertain times, Lou Olerio, President of Olerio Homes safely continues forward breaking ground on Modella Park, a gated neighborhood with 24 soft-contemporary patio homes.

Modella Park will feature four different floor plans designed by Watson Design Group. Beginning in the high $400's, the location is ideal being just south of Webb Chapel and Forest in Dallas. Olerio saw a need and an opportunity to bring new construction at an affordable price to a location that is still convenient to central Dallas.

Olerio, who has built close to 300 homes in Dallas, Texas says this development is exciting due to the combination of price point, quality product and location.

Unique Resume Gives Olerio Insight

As a Stockbroker during stock market crash of 2001 and developing Olerio Homes during the downturn in 2008, Olerio goes into the COVID-19 crisis with economic advice and experience.

He emphasizes taking precautions and altering the way we work but not stopping, especially with home building deemed an essential business operating under given guidelines.

"In any disruption, there are always opportunities. There are ways to identify the opportunities and you have to figure out how to take advantage of them. While it doesn't feel like it at the time, hindsight is 2020."

Olerio continues saying, "Since the city is on a shelter-in-place there are no open houses or showing and we will definitely see a slowdown of houses going under contract. But that will create opportunities to buy where people are getting cold feet."

For those wondering why it is good economically for construction to continue, with safety precautions implemented by the CDC and the City of Dallas, Olerio explains it is due to labor costs, "If we shut down completely that would be a major blow to the economic opportunities in North Texas leading to a labor shortage. If we keep working, we will reduce the pressures that come along with price increases that are associated with a shortage of labor."

He goes on to explain this further emphasizing the number of people it employs and that housing is always in demand. Having housing prices rise due to lack of demand is not what the economy needs.

As a company, Olerio Homes is utilizing software and taking advantage of this time. They are upgrading their website, implementing new software that will allow clients to view actual sections virtually in the homes and having 3-D models of new construction homes created.

Community Identity: Stemming the Tide of Homogenization through Custom Design

EVESHAM, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Drive down almost any suburban highway, and you will be greeted by a sea of sameness. McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, Wells Fargo, Target, etc. You could be anywhere. But soon, when you drive into or fly over Evesham Township, however, you will be greeted by an embodiment of the township seal. Catalyst Experiential and Evesham Township worked together on the design, which fulfills a township goal to have a unique Landmark letting you know that you are entering Evesham.

Pete Henry, lead designer for Catalyst, noted, "We started playing with the concept of the town seal, and really fell in love with the idea of creating a physical manifestation of the seal. We started to envision the township seal as something that would identify the township even if you were flying over or looking at the satellite view in Google Earth."

This concept led to a triangular Landmark that sits atop a 4,200-square-foot reflecting pool, surrounded by an 88-foot-wide circle with the township name and location. The Landmark features visual communications technology on two sides, and a smaller version of the community seal on the third. A transparent dome sits atop the structure, and will feature subtle lighting that changes based upon the barometric pressure. Vibrant landscaping with over 17,000 plants, including evergreen trees, shrubbery, and flowers, will enhance the experience.

The new Landmark will replace an obsolete gas and service station that has been a well-known community eyesore. Leah Furey-Brueder, Township Planner for Evesham, related, "As we've looked at redevelopment over the past several years, that service station has crossed our mind on several occasions. Sitting at the entrance to Evesham Township, it's the first thing people see when they enter. The reason we never did a redevelopment or rehabilitation designation for the site is that, when you look at that site, we couldn't figure out what we could do with it."

"This project was ideal for Catalyst," explained Amanda Toton, VP of Development, Catalyst Experiential. "Our installations are unique in that we can design something for almost any space, enabling us to revitalize land by replacing an existing use with something more desirable to the community."

The property is less than an acre, which is too small for most modern uses. And, it has a triangular shape and a lot of frontage on the roadway. Leah notes that, "Essentially, it was suited to an old-style gas station and little else." So, when Catalyst Experiential approached to discuss transforming the parcel with a community Landmark, complete with abundant landscaping and water feature, Leah was willing to listen.

Rain runoff will supply the reflection pool, as well as be the primary source of irrigation for the landscaping. The township will have access to the two digital displays to share community information as well as emergency alerts. The new plan also eliminates two curb cuts, increasing safety by reducing traffic that might otherwise be entering the busy roadway.

The new Landmark will fulfill many elements that Evesham had specifically outlined in its 2020 Vision Plan, including conserving open space, preserving natural resources, and promoting public health and safety.

Leah commented on the productive partnership with Catalyst, "Their initial plan met many elements of our vision plan. And, when we asked whether they could provide some additional benefits, they did." For instance, the township recommended sidewalks, and Catalyst agreed to install as part of the plan. And, the township also inquired about solar panels to help power the displays, and Catalyst is developing plans for how to incorporate.

The Landmark was approved on at a zoning board meeting on January 27 that was attended by several community members who expressed enthusiasm for the project. Leighanne Ratcliffe, of Greenhill Court, summed up the view of many in attendance, "I'm proud to live here, and having something that beautiful, and with the landscaping-it's a win for the community."

Current Builders Introduces Innovative Parking Garage Building Technique

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Current Builders (www.currentbuilders.com) has introduced a new time-saving technique to build parking garages using a "column hung shoring system." The award-winning general contractor based in Florida, recently topped out their Aura Boca project.

This luxury apartment community, in the heart of Boca Raton, includes an 8-story parking garage that was completed, from start of foundation to top of last pour, in six months; a reduction of almost 25% of the standard build time. Current Builders plans to market this technique as an alternative to precast and post tension garages.

"This is an important advance in the construction process for garages that was developed by Mike Gillette, vice president of our Structures division," said Rolf Severtson, Executive Vice President of CB Structures. "We are very proud of Mike's innovative advance which is helping accelerate our completion times."

"Aura Boca is the first project to utilize this innovative shoring system for the perimeter beams," explained Gillette. "The system consists of a 60,000-pound column mounted jack supported by wide flange W beams. This system eliminates the need for re-shoring under the beams which reduces costs and time, and additionally provides a 7-foot working table for iron workers and carpenters."

Gillette's innovation was partially inspired by bridge building techniques and his own on-going creative process. For the Aura Boca project, the Current Builders team was able to build a new floor every 12 working days, which is very rapid pace compared to the industry standard of 15-17 working days.

Current Builders recently topped out the Aura Boca project and looks for final completion by December 2020.
