The third project cur- rently proposed in this development is a new 96-unit hotel which will sit on the north side of Healthcare Way. Projects like these take enormous effort to become a reality. Close coordination and cooperation between developers, realtors, engineers, architects, and local governing agencies is crucial to bring a successful project together. In talking with PMZ realtor Brian Velthoen, that was certainly the case for this development. Velthoen citied that this project has been a great team effort between the developers, design team, and the City of Modesto planning and engineering staff. Projects like this also have the potential to be catalysts for future development and growth. Hopefully construction of these buildings will spur on future development in the adjacent business park and mixed-use zoned parcels. I’ve said this before, but as architects we are always excited to see new projects break ground. For me it is twofold, I am fascinated with the construction process and watching buildings rise up from the ground, but also excited to see new and improved services and facilities for our community. I’m told by PMZ that when complete, the three proposed projects in Kiernan Park East combined could provide ap- proximately 145-165 new jobs in Modesto. 12 August 2016 For more Modesto info: www.modestoview.com UNPLUGGED When The Cows Come Home II watched an incredible piece of video recently. by Aaron Rowan Swedish artist Jonna Jinton stood in a pasture opera company; current on a summer evening, and began to sing the recipient Myra Ramirez, ancient herding call known as ‘kulning.’ It was who will play the flute; Francesca Bavaro, and like a ghostly, medieval-style chant.
