Tragically, last week’s most expensive commercial construction permit was issued to one of last week’s least interesting projects: Building IV at Wade Park.<\/p>\n

The Offices at Wade<\/p><\/div>\n

Maybe that’s unfair: as far as office buildings built in pleasantly bland mixed-use developments,\u00a0“The Offices at Wade” looks like it will be great: a four-story, Class A Office Building with an on-site gym and cafe and no interior columns. That last one might sound weird but it’s actually kind of nice, especially if you’ve ever worked in an office building with too many of them. The project is also seeking LEED Gold Certification.<\/p>\n

The contractor on the job, Choate Construction, received LEED Gold certification for Building III at Wade Park, so we imagine they will be able to do the same here. The $12 million permits were issued on October 26; The Offices at Wade is expected to open in the Fall of 2017, when it will rent out space for $28.50\/square foot.<\/p>\n

The next largest project from last week turned out to be even less interesting than a new office building: a new self-storage facility in an industrial area off Capital Boulevard. It’s a $6.6 million job project that will be handled by McCrory Construction. The five-story, 119,200 square foot facility will operate under the Public Storage brand.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, we mentioned that site plans had been filed<\/a> for a new CVS at the redeveloped\u00a0Villages of Lake Boone; last week, a $1.25 million permit was issued to Project Builders for CVS Store No. 10863. The 11,537 square foot structure will be located at 2411 Landmark Drive. Note: we received some inquiries related to new, as-yet unreported development plans in the surrounding area that we’re currently looking into.<\/p>\n

In the renovation world, permits were officially issued last week to a structural engineering firm for repairs to the Boylan Bridge Brewpub, which closed down earlier this year after a busted fire sprinkler led to the collapse of a structural wall in the basement. <\/a>Although the pub reopened in late September, its iconic patio has remained closed.<\/p>\n

While work has been going on at the site for some time \u2014 the “applied date” on the permits is July 19, 2016 \u2014 we hope this official issuance means the pub will soon be able to reopen the beloved patio. We’re very curious to see what the new view \u2014 which will now include Union Station \u2014 will look like. The $365,000 project has a somewhat humorous project work description “repair broken fire sprinkler.” We imagine it’s a little more involved than that.<\/p>\n
