Commercial Council Continues Momentum

by Pat Durham BIA Executive Vice President Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer continues to tout great things that are happening in our city. You would expect a Mayor to tout the impressive things a city does, but one positive theme that continues to emerge each time is a familiar message...Louisville is in the midst of a Renaissance of new construction activity to the tune of $13 billion!

That level of activity does not happen without the members of the BIA, and front and center are members of our Commercial Council. Developers, brokers, general contractors, engineers, land use attorneys, lenders, suppliers, project managers, utility companies... the list goes on and on, and the city has our commercial construction membership to thank for it.

The Commercial Council of the BIA represents each and every segment of the commercial businesses. From retail, office, multi-family and industrial and the goods and services that support them, our Association is involved. Thanks to the leadership of Commercial Council chair Lee Weyland of Weyland Ventures and Brent Boland of Boland Maloney Realty, the Council focuses on topics and issues that impact their businesses.

This year alone, Lee and Brent coordinated speakers and relevant topics that keep our members apprised of current events and issues impacting our industry. We have hosted Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, Develop Louisville's Jeff O'Brien to update progress of the Comprehensive Plan, Mike King of Develop Louisville to provide a status report on the South Floyds Fork area plan, Kentucky State House of Representatives Speaker Pro-Tem David Osbourne to update us on the recently completed legislative session in Frankfort, and Stephen Lukinovich of MCM CPAs & Advisors to discuss the impacts of state tax reform on the construction industry. These are all topics that anyone in our industry and membership can learn from, and the focus on these specific topics makes us all better informed.

The commercial quadrant of our industry makes our community go. The companies that make our community better help define our city's landscape. It is hard enough to get these transformative projects built on time and on budget, but oftentimes it is the battles even getting to the drawing board that are the most difficult and maddening.

Obstructionist behavior by neighborhood groups, opposition attorneys, NIMBY's (Not In My Backyard) and others can keep projects off the table and in the can, and we all suffer in the meantime.

Our city is expected to grow by a conservative 150,000 new residents and over 65,000 new households over the next 20 years. To handle this growth, we will need to develop transformative projects. It will take the leadership of BIA members to make this happen.

Thank you to those who choose to dream of a better, more vibrant Louisville and a positive future for our hometown.

Churchill Downs’ Derby City Gaming, built by Calhoun Construction Services, opened to great fanfare in September.

Developments are Booming for BIA Commercial Members

By Nancy Miller Development is robust for BIA commercial members, providing the city with vibrant activity and enhancing the cityscape with striking design, increased space and valued amenities.

NTS Development’s recently completed 805 N. Whittington Parkway at ShelbyHurst has four floors of 140,000 sq. ft. of office space and an amphitheater. Occupation is scheduled for November and will house BrightSpring, formerly ResCare, on the top two floors. Adjacent to the 805 building is the two-floor 815 Building for which construction will begin in the fall or spring.

In addition, the design process is also beginning for the roughly 120,000 sq. ft. 435 Building.

Matt Ricketts, of NTS Development, says his company is also heavily involved in tenant finish work, such as that for medical office buildings. “We’re looking at a large renovation of St. Matthew Plaza I where we will install new windows to improve energy efficiency and will bring the common areas up to date.

We continue to do tenant finish work in the J-town corridor off Linn Station Road and for the Atria support center downtown and surrounding foundation-owned buildings,” he says. NTS is also ready to begin construction of a 301-unit apartment community behind Oxmoor Center.

One of the major downtown projects under construction is the Republic Bank Foundation YMCA at 18th and Broadway,

originally the site of the Philip Morris plant. The $28 million project by Wehr Constructors will consist of approximately 78,000 sq. ft, encompassing a gym, aquatic facilities, meeting rooms and spaces for YMCA services. Norton Healthcare, Republic Bank & Trust and ProRehab will be integrated into the building. Wehr Constructors' Nick Fears says his company has a 25-year history working with the University of Louisville Hospital and has been involved with facilities for Norton Healthcare. Finishing an addition to the Virginia Chance School was one of Wehr’s recent projects.

Brent Boland, of Boland Maloney Realty, the BIA Commercial Council Co-Chair, sees a positive climate for commercial development in Louisville. “You can break commercial development and business into various sectors from hotels to industrial to office buildings to multi-family. But given the national and local economies, I think, overall, we have a healthy commercial environment right now. That doesn’t mean all sectors are performing equally. Generally speaking, I’m encouraged by what’s going on, especially with multi-family and industrial, even hospitality,” he says.

He views general job growth as a major challenge and emphasizes the need to focus and to continue to work on initiatives and projects that foster job growth in the state. His opinion is that Kentucky and Louisville are behind a number of other municipalities and states.

Boland Maloney Realty is developing two industrial buildings in Eastpoint that are reflecting good activity. Tenants will move into one of the buildings in November and the second building has a planned occupancy for June 2019.

In his work with Cushman & Wakefield | Commercial Kentucky, he oversees a full portfolio of suburban office buildings for investors and is always keeping an eye on retention rates.

“Retention of the customer base is key. But, when a new building

pops up, you’re going to get some looks here and there but we haven’t lost many tenants to new construction. With a stable product, we are at a price point that is slightly lower than new construction. However, we have been able to steadily raise our rates because of new construction, which has been good for our investors. At the same time, we have to understand market dynamics so that we don’t price people out of our buildings,” says Boland.

He jokes that he wears two hats – one with Boland Maloney Realty and one with Cushman Wakefield Commercial Kentucky – but explains that isn’t as difficult as it might seem since Louisville is a small enough market that there’s considerable crossover, whether it’s with contractors, developers or brokers.

Boland and Lee Weyland, his BIA Commercial Council CoChair, have been busy creating initiatives to keep BIA commercial members informed on issues such as tax changes at the federal and state level. They recently sponsored a seminar featuring Stephen Lukinovich, of Mountjoy Chilton Medley, and are working on other projects that will cover timely discussions about issues important to the Louisville commercial market.

Weyland, of Weyland Ventures, shares Boland’s optimism about commercial development in the city, particularly downtown, where his company has three major projects in the works.

“We’re seeing a tremendous amount of interest in the urban core from folks looking to discover walkable lifestyles where they have proximity to restaurants, coffee shops and music festivals close to their work. Particularly, Millennials and Generation X want the social interaction and lifestyle that comes with being in the heart of the action,” says Weyland.

“Part of the culture of our company is that we are a local family company. Being able to have impact on our city is tremendously rewarding and fuels us every day. Look at where

805 N. Whittington Parkway at Shelbyhurst, an NTS development, will house BrightSpring (formerly ResCare) on the top two floors.

downtown Louisville was in the mid-90s when our company started: Louisville was a 9 to 5 commuter city in which folks showed up to work downtown and left right after. Now downtown is the heart of bourbon tourism and we have had more than 2,000 new hotel rooms built in the last five years. A sleepy little downtown has turned into what I call an 18-hours city,” he adds.

He anticipates the momentum in downtown commercial development staying on an upward trajectory. If there is some tightening, he foresees good projects with sound economics continuing to develop.

As part of Weyland Ventures’ focus on the Hancock Street corridor in NuLu is the Hancock House at 601 E. Jefferson Street, across from the Home2 Suites by Hilton. Expected to open in the third quarter of 2019, the historic building is being repurposed into 16 short-term rental units and a first-floor restaurant/retail space.

The company has purchased a church at the corner of Hancock and Market, the gate of NuLu. Weyland plans to announce a lease on the building by the end of the year and will begin the historic reconstruction. In the building are three distinct spaces: the original sanctuary space, a gymnasium and a common room.

“Churches have always been a gathering space, and we want to create a gathering space for the neighborhood that will be centered on entertainment,” says Weyland.

Beginning in December, Weyland Ventures will build four single-family townhomes at Hancock and Liberty, furthering the company’s vision to connect the art and entertainment district of NuLu with the employment center of the Medical District. The townhouses have a planned completion date of the end of 2019.

Industry News

An Array of Loan Programs Incentivize Developers

By Nancy Miller The efforts of Louisville developers are receiving major boosts from the METCO Loan program, as well as from other loan and incentive programs.

Andy Blieden, owner of Butchertown Market and Butcher Block Properties, has been a recipient of several such loans, having received his first METCO loan about 15 years ago to facilitate improvement of the façade of Butchertown Market.

He also was granted METCO loans for his building that houses Butchertown Grocery and for the Holy Grale and Gralehaus restaurants building.

“The METCO loan program has been very important for growing our business. It’s a great private/public partnership. The loans are low interest and allow you to beautify a building, which is a critical component for being able to lease it and have it look good for the neighborhood,” he says.

Blieden also has been beneficiary of energy efficiency loans that enabled him to purchase solar panels, high-efficiency HVAC units and LED lights for his properties.

“The City of Louisville has been very supportive of my development efforts. You have to have that kind of support when you’re working with properties that have fallen into a state of gross disrepair or have been vacant for 15 or 20 years, and you want to consider adaptive reuse and save historic buildings from being torn down,” he continues.

According to Bill Weyland, chief strategy officer at Weyland Ventures, METCO loans and Federal government loans for environmental clean-up have been very impactful in closing the gaps between bank lending and the cash needed for developers to take on various projects. He is using EPA funds to address environmental issues at his company’s project at Hancock House, formerly the Louisville Chemical Company.

He also points to the existence of a downtown housing assistance fund, loans to create affordable housing and programs to incentivize commercial businesses to open on the first floors of pedestrian corridors.

“These loan incentive programs help us be competitive with cities in Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana. I think we need to understand how they can be packaged into developments that attract outside capital into our area,” says Weyland.

In discussing the evolution of the METCO Loan Program, Brenda Hyatt, Economic Development Manager of the program, says it was developed in the 1980s and is comprised of federal funds, state grant money and an array of other funds. “We have ten different loan programs, some very specific and others more loosely constructed as to what they can be used for,” she says.

One of the most popular is the façade loan program, now offered at three-percent interest, that can be used for exterior property improvement such as window and door replacement, masonry repair, siding, landscaping and, sometimes, fencing.

“Also very popular is the Gap Financing Loan that is designed to go hand-in-hand with a bank loan. If the bank can go up to only eighty-percent financing and the client has only ten-percent for the down payment, we can help with the other ten-percent.

Or, if a bank is financing the purchase but other funds are needed to buy equipment or to be used for the interior, the Gap program can help the developer complete the project,” adds Hyatt.

Other METCO loans include a Go Green loan and an accessibility loan for a builder who must make ADA compliant improvements.

“I think folks would say when dealing with the government that they feel like they have to work with a multitude of offices and groups of information they’re not familiar with and that there’s no clear path to getting to the goal line. That can be very daunting and can come with a lot of surprises. We’re trying to get around that,” says Dave Marchal, Deputy Director of Develop Louisville.

His office will be hosting events similar to one held in early October at which several agencies were represented to advise small developers about vacant properties. About a year ago, his office tried to flip the whole approach and make it centric to the developer, “putting the developer in charge of their journey as much as possible,” instead of requiring a developer to go to each floor of the building for what they needed. So, events will be more portable and will actually be held at locations easily accessible to developers.

“Small developers, usually local people, are instrumental in putting people to work and in the circulation of investment and buying dollars. They take on projects one at a time, building by building, block by block. It’s very life-giving at the neighborhood level,” says Marchal.

WOMEN of the Building Industry

This month Louisville Builder continues our series featuring influential women in our industry.

Getting to Know Mariah Gratz

By Nancy Miller Mariah Gratz’s career as a project manager with ABIOMED, a leader in medical device development, was flourishing in Boston when her professional and personal lives experienced a major alteration.

“In 2008, my younger sister became very ill. I realized I couldn’t be a thousand miles away from her. At the same time, my father signed an agreement for a large project and said he could use some help in the business. He asked if I would consider coming to work for him,” says Gratz.

Today, she is the CEO of the family business, Weyland Ventures, a multi-disciplinary real estate development firm. With refreshing candor, she admits a family business can have its unique challenges, and credits the University of Louisville Family Business Center with providing excellent guidance, adding that it is one of the best kept secrets in Louisville.

“I came into the business at the beginning of 2009 when the bottom dropped out of the real estate industry. But after coming out of it, seeing opportunities in Louisville and expanding regionally, we’re very excited about what’s on our plate and what’s to come.

We’re grounded and know how to get through the tough times as well as the good times,” she says.

Is being a woman an advantage or a disadvantage in real estate?

I find it to be an advantage in this day and age. It differentiates me from a lot of people in the industry. Being on a short list of females gives me access to organizations and opportunities.

Do you believe women in business are still judged differently than men?

I believe we can be. Male dominated industries are all that I know and I have been able to be very successful in them. I think women can be successful wherever they want to be a success.

There may be roadblocks put in our way but there are options to excel, as well.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?

When I was growing up, my parents instilled in me that I could do whatever I put my mind to and that I didn’t need to be intimidated in any way, shape or form. I was able to take that to heart.

12 Digital Version Available at BIALouisville.com

What’s your greatest strength?

I think I’m very good at knowing what I don’t know and knowing what my weaknesses are and figuring out how to make them less of a weakness.

So, what is one of those weaknesses?

I’m kind of a naturally introverted person. Being a CEO, I have to have more of an externally facing presence. I continuously work at being more comfortable being an extrovert.

If someone you have known for many years were to describe you, what do you think they’d say?

Probably that I’m a Type A personality, that I’m ambitious, intelligent and loyal, and that when I commit to do something, I do it.

What inspires you?

I enjoy taking big ideas and turning them into reality, and creating things that improve the quality of life for people in some way.

How do you relieve stress and get away from it all?

I work out at least three days a week and do yoga once a week.

And I compartmentalize my time. I turn off the phone so that I can have family time with my kids. Also, I like to cook.

Sometimes I turn on music and start cooking dinner.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I’d like to have a little more patience.

What’s the first thing you’d do if you won the Lottery?

Go into hiding for a few months to figure out what I’m going to do, then I’d resurface.

How would you finish the sentence, “I wish…”?

I wish that we could have more civil and productive political conversations in this country. We really need to be bringing people together to help move us forward. You see so much great stuff happening at the local level and when it expands to the national, bigger level, it’s a mess.

The seasons change. The tasks change. Fortunately, your machine doesn't have to change. Bobcat® equipment is famous for its adaptability. With dozens of attachments to handle any job, comfortable cabs that battle the elements, and innovative designs you can't find anywhere else, Bobcat lets you do more with less.

Bobcat® and the Bobcat logo are trademarks of Bobcat Company.

What’s next on your bucket list?

Right now, I’m focused on growing our company. I’m not sure what comes beyond that.

Workforce Development

The BIA is proud to be part of the Kentucky Construction Career Choice Council

Pictured from left to right: Lora Knight, HBA of Kentucky; Josh Huddy, Kentucky Concrete Association; Shannon Bright, AGC of KY; David Lawson, Kentucky Department of Education; Mac Crawford, Crawford Builders; Dana Mayton, Kentucky Association of Highway Contractors; Lynn Faulkner, Kentucky Association of Master Contractors; Chad Larue, Kentucky Association of Highway Contractors; Alex Martindale, BIA of Greater Louisville and Robert McMillian, Messer Construction.

Even before housing’s boom-and-bust of the Great Recession, Kentucky builders recognized the workforce was aging and more high school students were being discouraged from entering the trades — the industry was staring down the face of a looming labor shortage.

In response, the HBA of Kentucky and the BIA of Greater Louisville joined forces with other state contracting associations to form the Kentucky Construction Career Choice Council, or K4C, to launch a career fair that would show those students the great jobs available in the construction industry.

Fourteen years later, they haven’t looked back.

Bob Weiss, HBAK executive vice president, recalled the very first event in which “everyone got off the buses and kind of wandered around.” The career fair quickly evolved into a welloiled machine: This past September it welcomed 3,200 high school students, three Kentucky cabinet secretaries, six state 20 Digital Version Available at BIALouisville.com

legislators and a host of other state and local officials.

The fair is held at the Shelby County Fairgrounds outside of Louisville. It includes indoor exhibits for the trade associations and their member companies, and outdoor exhibits where students can try their hand at various construction stations.

The participating associations pony up for the fair expenses with help from sponsoring companies. Students come in timed intervals from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. over the two days of the fair.

Each busload is sent to a set of bleachers for a hard hat and an introduction to the day’s events.

Outside, the students have a chance to look at construction equipment and experience a few tasks. “They’re going up and down in the high boys, laying brick, and this year they actually had a welding area right next to our booth where they could put their gear on and learn how to weld. It’s a very interactive day for them,” Weiss said.

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.
