Restaurant Renovations

Here’s a new job we’re working on. We are completely tranforming this Mexican restaurant to become The Diner at NorthPoint. It will be a complete interior and exterior renovation. We are even moving the entrance from one side of the building to the other. Rebecca has been working closely with the owners to put a more contemporary look in the interior. Of course, we'll put up more photos as the job progresses.

Happy Birthday to Pam!

Our office manager EXTRAORDINAIRE, Ms. Pam, has a birthday tomorrow! We are sending her birthday wishes today because, as is her birthday custom, she plays 54 HOLES of golf tomorrow. Needless to say, she is taking a well-deserved day off. Her tee time is 7:35 am. Now THAT'S dedication! Happy birthday Pam!

By the way, if you look closely to the left of Pam's shoulder, we had an office coloring contest. We colored the "Platinum Advisor" in the office (aka James). If you'd like one of those e-mailed to you, send a note to us and we'll make sure you get one! Color it and send it back to us!

Bricks and stucco

Is this cool or what? The Veranda is really looking beautiful. The stucco and bricks are up...stone work will be next. Several spaces are in the process of being built-out. It won't be long now!

They're signing leases!

Here’s an updated photo from The Veranda. All the brick is up and the stone is being put into place within the next week. Interior build-outs are starting and leases are being signed...lots of interest has been generated! That's a good sign...

Outdoor Amenities Design

Here's a project we've been working on for the past month. Jim Chapman Communities asked us to design their outdoor amenities. We are currently overseeing the construction of a bocce ball court, croquet court (and later a putting green) as well as a community garden. Alex designed a potting shed and an area with raised garden beds for residents to plant warm and cool season vegetables. There's also going to be a small orchard near the gardens. Our portion of this project should be done within the next two months. They also asked us to come up with a site plan...we've come up with a more sophisticated site plan design that we can offer our clients. This site plan will have a final size of 44.5" square and will be in their sales center plat table. If you are interested in seeing a more detailed version of the site plan, e-mail Marybeth and she can send you a more readable version. We'll post more photos when we are done with the amenities.

We've made the BIG time!

The Veranda made news in the AJC business section this Sunday. James got a call from AJC reporter Mike Pearson who had just happened to drive by the site and saw our giant “business card” in front. The reporter was intrigued by some of the different and interesting architectural elements. We gathered a package together to send him and the result was a very nice write-up!

Brick is going up!

Here's the latest Veranda view! The building is being wrapped and readied for brick and stone. We are building out the space for Peggy Slappey Properties' new office in The Veranda so Rebecca is busy helping to pick out carpet and colors right now...It's going to be WAY COOL! Can't wait to post photos of that....
