It is an exciting time! by John Seiz

2017 Chairman, BIA Commerical Council

It is an exciting time to be in the building business in Louisville. So many positive things are happening in our city and in our industry. The activity is taking place in the context of a resilient US economy; GDP growth exceeded 3% in the 2nd quarter for the first time since 1Q 2015. This is translating into meaningful job growth, lower unemployment and even some overdue wage growth. The stock market is at an all-time high and real estate asset values and overall market liquidity remain high. In Kentucky, a pro-business state legislature and Governor were installed by voters last fall, and they wasted no time implementing significant measures to improve the state’s competitiveness in attracting new business. These have been covered at length in these pages, but include Right to Work and Prevailing Wage repeal legislation and a reduction in burdensome regulations affecting the building industry. In Louisville Metro we are enjoying the long-awaited benefits of the completion of the Bridges Project. Our largest employers, including UPS, Ford Motor and Haier/GE continue to make huge capital investments in their local operations. Our Central Business District is buzzing with a record amount of investment including the Convention Center expansion, the exciting new Omni Hotel and numerous other attractive, niche hotels and apartment projects. The convention and tourism sector, boosted by fast-growing “bourbon-ism,” adds significant dollars to our local economy. Louisville’s quality of life is enhanced by the development of The Parklands of Floyds Fork, a tremendous addition to the city’s already world-class park system and an engine for growth in southeastern Jefferson County. Unemployment is reported at a remarkable 4.2%. Our real estate industry, of course, is a major factor in this dynamic economy. Adaptive re-use of older properties around the urban core is booming. The Class A suburban office market has experienced positive leasing absorption for the last six years; occupancy hovers in the 93% range, a healthy rate. The industrial market set absorption records in 2015, bringing overall occupancy rates to over 96%. This fueled the highest rate of new construction in Louisville’s history in 2016 and early 2017. Leasing activity and rent growth remain strong, attracting considerable investor interest to the market. Class A industrial projects are selling at all-time high valuations. The same can be said for the multi-family residential market. The Building Industry Association plays such a valuable role in support of the Louisville real estate industry. The primary challenges faced by our industry today are largely a result of the past success, namely the need for 1) an updated Comprehensive Plan, 2) infrastructure enhancement and expansion, and 3) a growing, talented workforce. The BIA is actively and successfully engaged on all of these fronts. Thank you, members of the Commercial Council, the BIA at large and, especially, the excellent BIA leadership and staff for your dedication and great work this year. You have much to be proud of and much to look forward to as we continue to build a thriving and prosperous Louisville! November 2017 • Louisville Builder Magazine

BIA Members a Major Force in Commercial Construction By Nancy Miller The Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville has long had a highly visible profile in the community as an association of members involved in home building. Although that has not changed, the BIA’s mission, expanded outreach and broadened areas of involvement encompass members in all areas of construction. BIA members are having a striking impact on the commercial construction sector, from booming downtown development to suburban environments. One BIA member that’s extremely active in commercial construction is the Marian Group, which continues to pursue multi-family developments, categorizing them under commercial construction. Along with the company’s growth in that sector has come challenges, one of the most significant being overall construction pricing. “We’re seeing major increases just from a project that was bid two months ago. Subs we have been working with for a long time have so much work now that they can be choosy about what they’re taking on. Second, we simply can’t find enough good, strong, 6

qualified folks to work,” says Jake Brown. He commends the BIA’s workforce development programs that target high school students as instrumental in addressing the issue. Ryan Miranda of Miranda Construction, a commercial builder, echoes Brown’s comments about competition: “It’s not only competitive with general contractors getting jobs, but also finding the right subs to do the jobs. The BIA has helped us find new, highly qualified sub- contractors.” In business only two years, Miranda Construction’s success is impressive. According to [Miranda], first year sales were double what he had projected. Further, he believes second year sales will double those of the first year. Downtown is the scene of much of his work, such as Leadership Louisville, Republic Plaza, Volunteers of America, the former Aegon building (now Mercer) and Bar Vetti in the 800 Building. Also to Miranda Construction’s credit are a couple of Jett’s Pizzas, the I Love Kickboxing Studio, three Starbucks, Panda Express and offices for Fisher Phillips and Deloitte.

He points to BIA mentors as being instrumental in his company’s success. “They help with leads and contacts. Being young in the industry, you always lean on those with more experience,” he says. Jake Brown’s Marian Group focuses on both development and construction. “Putting together our own projects has been a niche that’s working well for us, and means we don’t have to compete with eight or 10 other contractors on a regular basis—although we still do some of that,” he says. Among his projects are the Bradford Mills Lofts, in Germantown, that have 147 units and amenities such as a clubhouse and gym. “I have a very long history in Germantown. My parents, grandparents and greatgrandparents lived there. When the company was able to turn Bradford Mills into something new and fresh, and bring new families to live in the area, it was very exciting for us,” he adds. Also, the Marian Group is building the $71 million Riverport Landings on Cane Run Road. The 416 units will include senior housing, facilities for Family Scholar House and commercial space. Although Pinnacle Properties remains active in residential construction, the company has increased its commercial work since 1992, constructing more than 100 office buildings. “The market and opportunities dictate in what area (residential or commercial) Pinnacle Properties will concentrate. In the mid-90s to late 2000s, Pinnacle concentrated on patio homes, while building office buildings in Middletown, Southern Indiana and elsewhere in this region of the country,” says John Miranda.

Pinnacle Properties’ commercial projects include a self-storage facility in Beuchel and one on Preston Highway; Blankenbaker Centre, a Middletown office park consisting of 23 buildings; and a Lyndon infill office project serving the Hurstbourne, Lyndon and St. Matthew office markets. Pioneer Supply Group provides logistics and construction services such as labor, transportation, and Division 8, 9 and 10 services such as carpentry, flooring, door frames, hardware, glass installation and material supplies. About his company, Phil Shoulders says, “Competition on the commercial side is very stong and margins aren’t what people think they are. You have to identify as much work as you can, and develop opportunities down the road so that you can dovetail into the next project. Commercial construction isn’t like manufacturing products that you sell constantly. It’s about pursuing opportunities months, or maybe years, in advance.” That pursuit of other opportunities has led to Pioneer’s multi-faceted involvement with the Omni Hotel. The company has provided tower cranes, the curtain wall and precast concrete. In addition, Shoulders is partnering with Carpet Specialists for flooring in the hotel and is supplying electrical materials to Advanced Electrical Systems. The Convention Center is another of Pioneer’s projects, as are MSD water basin work and the tunnel construction. The Omni is only one of five hotels for which Carpet Specialists is providing flooring. “When the Omni first came to us, we turned down the project because it was too large. They came a second time and we said no. The third time it came to us through Phil Shoulders. That made sense so November 2017 • Louisville Builder Magazine

we did it. Phil brought the logistics to the table and we took care of the installation of all the carpet, hardwood and LVT,” says David Turner of Carpet Specialists. He reports that commercial will soon account for half or more of his business, which until now has included projects for the Masonic Homes of Kentucky, Slugger Museum, Kentucky Science Center, Muhammad Ali Center, Yum Center and Whiskey Row, among many others. Louisville Paving & Construction has been in the commercial sector since the inception of Louisville Paving Company in 1949 (formerly doing business as The Dougherty Coal Company dating back to the early 1900s). This familyowned business is now managed by fourth generation Doughertys, Joe and John, and has seen tremendous growth in its paving, heavy highway, asphalt materials, treatment plants and general construction divisions. Louisville Paving & Construction is currently performing work on several large commercial projects, with two in the Renaissance Zone off of the Outer Loop: Grainger Distribution Warehouse which is a 1.5 million square foot building and Air Commerce III, which is a 750,000 square foot facility. In addition, they are busy preparing the Exeter site at River Ridge, which will ultimately be 1 million square feet on a 70 acre site. “The BIA hosts monthly Land Development meetings that have been a great platform in cultivating a positive partnership between all of the various utility agencies in an effort to exchange ideas, find solutions and better understand each other’s problems, with the end result being an improved sense of cooperation,” said Larry Hobson, Director of Business Development for Louisville Paving & Construction. He went on to say, “the BIA is also well aware of the manpower shortage which is impacting all segments of the industry, and they have been focused recently in developing workforce educational programs in an effort to fill this void.”

Completed units in the Bradford Mills Lofts in Germantown, done by the Marian Group, offer tenants beautiful and unique living spaces.

All six of the individuals are very enthusiastic about the BIA’s commitment to supporting the efforts of members in the commercial sector. “BIA is working to elevate the commercial builder to a status similar to ‘Registered Residential Builder’. The benefits will be in the areas of insurance enhancements for the commercial builder, additional educational opportunities and enhanced opportunities for leadership within our BIA,” stated John Miranda. (*Commercial Builders that would like more information on this beneficial new program should contact Pat Durham at the BIA.*) As the BIA’s membership continues to grow, so do efforts to include everyone in the building industry. “We are proud of our diverse membership and the impressive work our members are doing in the commercial industry,” said Pat Durham, Executive Vice President. “To that end, we will continue to support their growth through our advocacy efforts, enhanced programming and member benefit programs that will contribute to their ongoing prosperity.” “We could grow our businesses without the BIA, but we would have a hard time growing our industry without them. They are leading the charge in our area for workforce development and community outreach. The BIA brings commercial contractors together, turning one small voice into a persuasive, collective shout,” concluded Ryan Miranda.

Larry Link proudly stands beside his first Bonnycastle Appliance & TV delivery truck in 1985.

Bonnycastle Appliance & TV Celebrating 100 Years in Business By Martha Bracken, BIA Staff Member

Bonnycastle Appliance & TV originated in 1918 in the Highlands as Bonnycastle Hardware. In that era, people would buy their appliances at the local hardware store, and over the years, Bonnycastle Hardware grew. Eventually, and as the times changed, they added televisions to their inventory, as well. After World War II, the appliance industry skyrocketed—America was a confident nation after the war—the country was changing and the economy was booming. Thus, in 1949, Bonnycastle Hardware expanded their business into a new building 1 ½ miles down Bardstown Road. This new location housed the appliance division, which would come to be called Bonnycastle Appliance and would remain there for the next 50 years. The current owner, Larry Link, purchased Bonnycastle Appliance & TV in 1985, and remains the owner today. Larry graduated from Trinity High School in 1972 and started his career at GE in Product Service, Housewares and accounting. After eight 14 Digital Version Available at BIALouisville.com

years, he moved on to outside sales at the Collins Company, a whirlpool distributor, where he would spend the next five years. The experience Larry gained at both GE and the Collins Company gave him the background and knowledge he needed to own his own retail appliance store. By 1999, Larry had grown Bonnycastle Appliance & TV to the point where he needed to purchase a larger facility. Not wanting to leave the Highlands, he found a building three doors down that was four times the size of his original location. After a major renovation, he opened the new Bonnycastle Appliance & TV—where he was able to add more product lines. As a result, his business grew eight times over the next eight years. After moving into the new location, Larry was also able to reinvent Bonnycastle by adding top name, high end appliances to the mix. This decision differentiated him from big box stores, and has proved to be a wise decision in solidifying Bonnycastle’s success. And his motto, “There’s No Hassle at Bonnycastle,” is something that he and his staff live by every day.

“We sell appliances only,” said Larry. “We don’t sell lumber, drywall, etc. We simply specialize in appliances. When customers come into Bonnycastle, they know they are getting certified sales people who not only know what they’re talking about, they genuinely care.” “I ask my sales people two things,” Larry continued. “Why should anybody buy from us, and what are we doing that nobody else is doing? And when they can answer those two questions, they’ll have an edge on their competition.” Today, due to Larry’s innovative ideas and commitment to his customers, Bonnycastle Appliance & TV not only weathered the recession in 2009, but is stronger than ever—having had their biggest year in history in 2016 and being on track to top that in 2017. Larry attributes this growth and success to loyal employees who have been with him for years, advertising and relationships he has acquired in local organizations, and his strong community ties. “I think being a local dealer—not just a chain store—and being in the community for 100 years now, is what matters,” Larry said. “You have to treat people the way you want to be treated. And you have to listen. Sometimes sales people start talking before they listen, and you lose customers that way. But if you actually listen to people, it not only allows you to provide a better service, it almost guarantees you a customer for life.” But above all, Larry Link believes in the personal touch, which is

evident from the moment you walk in the Bonnycastle doors. From his sales people on the floor, to his wife working in the office, everyone has a smile and a kind word to say. In fact, Larry personifies that attitude. Oftentimes, you will find him visiting his customers’ homes to help with whatever they need—from measuring for new appliances to helping adjust TVs and even putting batteries in remotes—he’s there to help. In fact, if you’re lucky, you just might find Larry on your doorstep one day. "It is rare, especially in our industry, to find companies who have survived for over 100 years. Larry Link has taken a Louisville tradition in Bonnycastle Appliances and helped it flourish. We appreciate BIA members like Bonnycastle who have supported our Association through the good times and bad and who have used the BIA to help their growth through relationship building and company awareness. We congratulate Larry and his company and wish them continued success,” said Pat Durham, BIA Executive Vice President. In a day and age when big box stores seem to dominate the landscape, Larry Link and Bonnycastle Appliance & TV are more successful than ever. And it’s easy to see why. From the caring culture that Larry has fostered, to his dedicated employees and strong community relationships, it’s clear that Bonnycastle has found their recipe for success. There really is, “no hassle” at Bonnycastle. Our sincere congratulations to Larry and the entire Bonnycastle Appliance & TV team. Here’s to another 100 Years in Business!!

What is a SPIKE?

A SPIKE is a Recruiter of New Members. What are the benefits of becoming a Spike? The real benefits are intangible: You are recognized for your contributions to the association and regarded as an accomplished and connected member. Additionally, Spikes receive: • A coveted invitation to the biggest party of the year, the Spike Party at the International Builders’ Show® • Increased visibility, recognition and networking opportunities at industry events • Unique and valuable lapel pins for each level of achievement • Additional VIP treatment throughout the year

How do I become a Spike?

How do I earn Spike credits?

Before becoming a Spike, you are a Spike candidate. That means you have earned between one and five and a half credits. Once you earn your sixth credit, you become an official NAHB Spike! Spike credits are earned by recruiting and retaining NAHB and BIA members. In order to become a Life Spike, you must have earned a minimum of 25 Spike credits.

Spikes earn one credit for each new Builder or Associate member they sponsor. When that member renews after his or her first year of membership, the sponsoring member automatically gets one renewal credit. Every year the member renews thereafter, the sponsoring member will receive a 1/2 renewal credit. Spikes receive a 1/2 credit for recruitment and a 1/2 credit for the renewal of Affiliate members.
