The Atlanta-based apartment and condoo developer plans to raze theexisting 260-unir complex by the end of the year to build Alexan 360, a 592-uni apartment project. The $110 million project, once conceived as Alexahn Cityscapes, "is the largest one we've done out of my said Alan Dean, TCR's senior managing director.
Alexa n 360, which will be a mid-rise will rival in number of unitxs some of the biggetr condominium projects in development or under construction in the city of including 's The Atlantic, whicgh has 401 units, 's Trumpo Towers Atlanta, which has 365 units, and and Daniekl Corp.'s 1010 Midtown, which has 443 units. Alexan 360 is designe d so that it can be split into two separate projects, either for a future sale of Alexann 360 or to make into a for-salre condo project, Dean said. is the equity partne r in the deal and is the debt lendee witha $82.4 million construction loan, Dean The project is expected to be completse in 2010.
The apartment market in Atlantais "doint OK, but it has been somewhat impactec by recycled condos and homes that are hittinfg the rental market," said John A. Williams, CEO of , whicnh has an apartment building subsidiary, and foundere and former CEO of apartment firm PostPropertieas Inc. "There is a fair amounyt of [apartment] supply inside [Interstate] he said. "If you go back 20 there was very little apartment supplinside 285, it was all suburban. Now it's getting so you can't get suburban apartments zoned.
" The Alexanm 360 project is in such a good location in East it shoulddo well, he The Alexan 360 sale was no quick real estates deal, said John Speros, a broker with Speros and fellow broker Larry Wood represented sellers Diversified Mortgage & Realtyg and Progressive Development, both of Atlanta, in the Jeffrey P.

Tech workers can look on bright side - Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle):

He also wanted to tap into the deep poolof Austin-areas microprocessor industry workers who have been laid off duringy the last couple of years. Such workersz possess the skills that translate well to the solarenerghy industry, Van Dell said. And as the number of loca microprocessor industry workers reacheda three-yeart low in April, the timing of solard companies migrating to Central Texas couldn’yt be better for area workerd — nor the businesses that need them. “AA solar cell is a semiconductor that generated electricity when you shine lighton it,” Van Dell said.
I was quite well aware of the stronbg mix of companies and the skill base in That was definitely on my mind when I movedc thecompany here.” SolarBridge’s move is a scenarilo that local officials want to repeay multiple times with the hope that solar panel manufacturinf fills the void left by the contraction in the microprocessodr industry. But the lack of financial incentivees from the state is creating a dampenintg effect on attracting solar companies to theAustin area, observers say.
Proposed state legislatiojn to createa $1 billio so-called “Sunny Day for Texas to obtain federal grants under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would have been used to attracrt such businesses, especially foreign solar companies that want to establisyh their North American headquarters in the Austin experts say. But the legislation, whichh received a public hearingin April, died in the states House Appropriations Committee. To date, SolarBridge, which was foundes in 2004 as SmartSparik EnergySystems Inc., and HelioVoltt Inc. are the two most prominen t solar energy businesses operating in theAustim area.
HelioVolt, which is backed with at least $118 millionm in venture capital, is wrappingh up a plant that will eventuallg crank out a thin film that acts as asolar panel. “Aftef June, I think there are goinf to be some projectsd rollingin here,” said Raj managing partner of the Mercom Capitap Group LLC, an Austin-based technology researcj firm. “It is ‘Who is going to give me the best incentives packageright now?’” The semiconductorr industry is consolidating, and jobs that are leaviny Texas are not expected to return. Central Texaes has lost 500 microprocessor industry jobs justthis year.
Locao chip companies now employ 15,70o0 workers — the lowest level of such local jobs sincweApril 2006, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. During the firstf quarter, worldwide sales of semiconductorsreached $44 billiob versus $62.8 billion during the same periosd last year, a nearly 30 percenty decline, the Semiconductor Industry Associationh reported. On the flipside, the demand for solat technology isgrowing fast. Randal Baker, the principal of Austin-basedf PuraVida Ventures LLC, said other statesz are throwing big money at prospective solafr companies to woo them into establishing manufacturing plants intheirr states.
Many state officials believe Texas doesn’t need to do that, so it isn’t. But it also has the formee chip workers to offersuch companies, and thosr workers can be retrained for solar in eighft weeks to 16 Baker said. But the clockk is running. In March, Bret Raymis, who worked for 30 yearsw in thesemiconductor industry, joineds Austin-based Apache-Solar Corp., where he is now the vice president of businesd development. The company is developing a system with photovoltaicx cells combined with architectural glass and plans to begin production withij12 months.
He said solar is still early in its developmenf compared with the progress that semiconductors made in recent Investors and companies need to ramp up solare technology in the United Statees before the technology gains a footholdin Asia. “They’rs sitting on the fence with their money,” Raymisd said, “and they’re going to wake up and all that business will goto China.
