In Oregon, the Race is on to Create the World’s Greenest Building

Independence Station seeks 15 21st century pioneers to make history

Independence, OR (PRWEB) February 26, 2009 — In the pioneer town of Independence, OR, Independence Station is on track to become the World’s Greenest Building with the highest LEED® rating ever awarded for new construction. The 40 percent complete, 57,000-square-foot mixed-use structure by Aldeia, LLC will house offices, retail space, a restaurant, research facilities, a Direct Current (DC) power based data server room, classroom space and 15 residential units for 21st century pioneers who will work together to shatter worldwide energy consumption guidelines.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is an internationally accepted tool to measure sustainable green building and development practices. The current record holder, a Canadian project, has a score of 63 out of a possible 69 points. At its completion next year, Independence Station will likely earn between 64 and 66 points, bringing the top score back to the United States.

Independence Station’s potential rating is owed primarily to its use of renewable energy sources – mostly the sun and vegetable oil – and the means of distributing, storing and managing that energy efficiently throughout the building. The building will boast a unique 120 kilowatt installation of photovoltaic panels. During sunny months, the panels will produce more than enough energy to run the building, store extra energy in a large battery bank for nighttime use as well as feed power back into the grid. Independence Station is likely to be the most comprehensive "Smart Grid" project ever built.

In cooler, cloudier months, the building will rely more on a biodiesel-fueled cogeneration and thermal storage system, including a retired tug-boat engine affectionately named Mabel, which will serve as a backup and run on waste vegetable oil from local restaurants. Radiant floor heating and cooling, displacement ventilation, solar water heating, day lighting design, an ice-based cooling storage system, water based ground source heat pump, and extensive use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are some of the systems that minimize Independence Station’s "off the grid" energy consumption.

Independence Station is expected to exceed the strict Oregon Energy Code by an outstanding 74 percent. In fact, Independence Station is expected to operate in a carbon negative manner. Because enough rainwater is stored in the winter to supply 100 percent of the building’s needs for laundry, toilet flushing and irrigation of the both the green roof and planned 40-foot interior vertical "urban garden," water consumption records are expected to fall as well.

The $15 million community will include 15 distinctive one- and two-bedroom condominiums. With living space of 600 to 1,660 square feet, the uniquely designed Smart Homes are expected to range from the $300,000s into the $600,000s. In the spirit of the community’s historically significant location at the end of the Oregon Trail, Aldeia, LLC founder Steven Ribeiro is seeking 15 21st century Oregon Trail pioneers to partner with the project by owning and living in the residences. As they live in the high-profile building, these pioneers will become standard bearers whose energy usage habits will likely break records and set new consumption targets worldwide.

Independence Station offers opportunities for pioneering entrepreneurs to set up offices, small retail stores, a restaurant or an Internet café. For businesses who want to be part of the World’s Greenest Building but are not located near Independence, the trophy address will be available to savvy green-minded professionals who are located anywhere in the world via affordable virtual office space as well.

Ribeiro expects the location to become a common destination for professional organizations, school groups, trade groups and curious tourists, who can travel to Independence on a biodiesel powered bus service. While construction is underway, Independence Station will host tours, classes and events in an adjacent location. Independence Station’s materials and product suppliers will have the opportunity to have their environmentally responsible products incorporated into the building and showcased for site visitors, giving them a marketing edge.

About the World’s Greenest Building:
Independence Station – The World’s Greenest Building, an Aldeia, LLC community, is on track to earn the world’s highest LEED rating when it is completed in 2010. Located in the historic pioneer town of Independence, Ore., the building will obtain its energy primarily from the sun and vegetable oil with leftover energy going to the local utility to show how the new Smart Grid technologies can help solve National Energy Security challenges. A $15 million, 57,000-square-foot project, Independence Station will host real and virtual offices, residential units, a restaurant, an Internet café, a green data storage facility, research facilities and classroom space. In addition, 15 21st century Oregon Trail pioneers will make their homes in the building’s one- and two-bedroom condominiums, providing published open source energy consumption data for all to study to set new benchmarks for responsible energy consumption in daily living.

Lawsuit Against Related Group Alleges Forged Signatures, Fraud and Civil RICO in "Trump Tower II" Condo Transaction

A father and son have sued the Related Group, Donald Trump, Michael Dezer, and Gil Dezer to recover a $205,580.00 deposit paid for a condo unit on Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles, Florida, commonly known as "Trump Tower II." The Plaintiffs, Ken Borinsky and Mark Borinsky, signed a preconstruction contract for a condo in the 271 unit tower in March 2005.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 26, 2009 — A father and son have sued the Related Group, Donald Trump, Michael Dezer, and Gil Dezer to recover a $205,580.00 deposit paid for a condo unit on Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles, Florida, commonly known as "Trump Tower II." The Plaintiffs, Ken Borinsky and Mark Borinsky, signed a preconstruction contract for a condo in the 271 unit tower in March 2005.

According to the lawsuit (#0915513CA15), filed today in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court, ten months after signing the contract, the developers sent the Borinskys an amended floor-plan showing that the developer had eliminated the private entrance elevator, reduced the size of the master bedroom by 27%, a second bedroom by 19%, and the den by 18%.

The Borinskys further allege that they did not accept the revised floor-plan and demanded their money back, but were told by the Related Group’s representative that they would receive their money back when construction was completed. When they again requested their money back in 2008, as construction was nearing completion, they claim the developer stated there was "no legal basis" to cancel the agreement and faxed them the amended floor-plan containing "forged and/or copied signatures…in hopes of convincing them that they had approved" the amended floor-plan.

The Borinsky’s allege "the fact that the documents are forgeries is readily apparent to even the untrained eye," and that the two forged floor-plans are not even identical to each other. They "demanded to inspect the original floor-plans to corroborate that they were forgeries," but the Related Group "refused to further respond" or to make the original forged documents available for inspection.

Plaintiffs allege that they have since discovered that the "Related Group engaged in identical conduct" – using forged signatures on an amended floor-plan – in a prior Related Group condo project in Miami Beach.

The 13 count complaint includes claims for civil theft, fraud, and civil RICO – all against the Related Group defendants only. While Donald Trump, the Dezers and Bank of America are included in many of the remaining counts, there are no allegations that they knew or participated in forgery or fraud.

The lawsuit was filed by the Law Firm of Joseph E. Altschul, LLC, which has offices in Fort Lauderdale and Weston, Fla. The Firm can be reached at 954-556-4821.

Scoring Foreclosure Property Deals: Short Sales Are On the Rise and Offer Troubled Home Sellers a Way Out — And Buyers a Great Opportunity

Three main ways to buy a foreclosure home: Short sale, auction and bank-owned sale (REO properties); Short sales offer 10-20 percent discounts to home buyers; not for the buyer in a hurry; Short sales can take time.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 26, 2009 — The following facts, tips and comments, unless otherwise attributed, can be sourced to Dennis Green, General Manager, ForeclosurePoint.com:
• Short sales are when the mortgage lender allows a distressed property to be sold at a price lower than the homeowner’s outstanding mortgage balance, with the difference generally but not always forgiven. This relieves the borrower (the seller) of their ownership and debt burden without marring their credit report the way foreclosures would, and reduces the home sale price to current market value (or lower) so it’s appealing to buyers.
• Banks are more interested in short sales now than ever before, and they’re doing more of them. The largest banks and thrifts completed 13,254 short sales in the third quarter of 2008, up 61 percent from the second quarter, when they completed 8,222 short sales, according to a report from federal regulators. Servicers including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are amenable to short sales, as well as lenders such as Bank of America, Citibank and Wells Fargo.
• Short-sale discounts usually range from 10 to 20 percent. Clearly, lenders want to recover as much of the mortgage amount as possible, but selling at a discount in this range typically still saves them money versus letting the home fall into foreclosure.
• Short sales can take several months to complete, considering the primary mortgage lender, as well as any other lien holders, must approve an offer. Also, the home seller must prove to the mortgage company that they cannot afford to make payments on the mortgage. To approve short-sale transactions, lenders typically require the following documentation:
1. An estimated HUD-1 settlement statement showing net-payoff to the lender.
2. A hardship letter from the seller accurately describing the reasons why they are not able to make mortgage payments in the future.
3. A financial declaration from the seller itemizing monthly income and expenses.
4. 3-6 months of seller bank statements.
5. Two years of seller tax returns.
6. A property condition and repair estimate.
• Identify potential short-sale properties on ForeclosurePoint.com (ForeclosurePoint.com). Basic membership, which allows searching the entire inventory of foreclosure listings, is free.
• Cautionary Notes: "If you’re a home buyer, don’t put more money down as a deposit on a short sale than you can afford to walk away from. If the deal takes longer than you’d like, you may choose to pursue another property. If you’re the home seller, don’t attempt a short sale unless you really can demonstrate that making your mortgage payments is a hardship…. If you’re the home seller, check your state laws to know if you’ll be taxed on the forgiven mortgage debt."

About ForeclosurePoint.com:
ForeclosurePoint.com, the nation’s largest free foreclosure listings marketplace, is a service of DepotPoint, Inc. (DepotPoint.com). With more free, detailed property information than any other national online foreclosure marketplace, as well as foreclosure property tracking services available nowhere else, ForeclosurePoint provides the most effective way for homebuyers, investors and real estate professionals to participate in the buying and selling of default properties.

Aged to Perfection Synergy Restaurant Consultants Celebrates 20 Years

Synergy is a team of experienced restaurant professionals with the financial, operations and culinary expertise to reduce costs, drive sales and grow guest counts. 20 years of unparalleled experience is the cornerstone of our company’s success and the reason over 200 nationally recognized restaurant organizations call on Synergy.

Laguna Niguel, CA (Vocus) February 26, 2009 — Something that has been aged 20 years brings to mind excellent wines and whiskey…the very things that most compliment a fine meal – before, during and after. It speaks of patience, expertise, quality and something to savor.

Something that costs the same as it did 20 years ago is phenomenal.

In the business of fine meals, few new restaurant startups reach age seven before being consumed by problems far beyond the great cuisine they served. Finances, marketing, supply chains, competition, operations and many other facets cause everything from fast food joints and hot dog carts to boutique bistros and elegant establishments to vanish from the culinary landscape.

So, what do famous and highly successful restaurant chains like Fleming’s Prime Steak House, Olive Garden, and Macaroni Grill have in common? One prominent element is Synergy Restaurant Consulting, a quiet firm that has been creating the trends, checking the pulse and setting the standards for successful establishments for twenty years.

Credited by some of their 200 clients as the premiere restaurant consulting firm, Synergy Consultants celebrates a business milestone achievement of achieving two decades in service to the finest food establishments in the country. Founded in 1988 by Dean Small and Danny Bendas, the managing partners brought combined 70 years of restaurant industry experience. The firm focuses on many issues that quietly destroy eateries such as operational assessments and menu development. They are noted especially for their turnaround efforts with struggling facilities.

Synergy attributes their long term success to “fail proof” strategies that help their clients achieve the results they are looking for. Co-Founder, Danny Bendas states, “We understand that a restaurant requires collaboration of ideas, disciplines, culinary knowledge, business management expertise and passion for operational excellence.” The restaurant consultant firm has worked with some the industries top food chain companies, including Applebee’s, Red Lobster, IHOP, Chilis, & Carl’s Jr.

With the recent economic turndown, Synergy Consulting has made concerted efforts to help struggling restaurants with several cost saving strategies that will help operatores reduce operating expenses. With this in mind “Synergy Restaurant Consultants, the premier Restaurant Consultant firm will be celebrating its 20th anniversary by offering a full operational assessment…for its original 1988 price” Co-Founder, Dean Small states. There is one catch though. The offer is only for the first 20 restaurants that contact them. “We encourage restaurants that want to improve their financial performance to contact us now”.

Perhaps they can create the combination of nuts and bolt operations along with the mystique that will have you sipping fine wine in your own restaurant 20 years from now…

About Synergy Restaurant Consultants:
Synergy is a team of experienced restaurant managers and professionals with the financial, operations and culinary expertise to reduce costs, drive sales and grow guest counts. Over 200 nationally recognized restaurant organizations have called on the company for their expertise.
