Consistent breakdowns were costing the company both time and money. Wayne and the team at Severfield understood a new investment in technology was needed to uphold their reputation as world-class leaders in structural steel. “We were looking at various manufacturers, and one of the big things I was looking for was a robust machine that had the durability to last a long length of time,” said Wayne. “I noticed the Peddinghaus machines had a very substantial build structure and would give us the confidence they were going to last.” Invest for Success Severfield (UK) Ltd currently employs seven Peddinghaus machines including two heavy-duty BDL-1250/9D drill lines, two DG-1250 double miter structural band saws, two HSFDB-2500 plate processing lines and a PeddiWriter standalone layout marking line from Peddinghaus to fulfill their Tourists are attracted to the thriving historic and Severfield Beginnings extensive project books. modern appeal of England’s offerings, renowned for Severfield began as most steel fabrication Wayne and the Severfield (UK) Ltd team credit the its Royal Family, community pubs, legendary pop companies originate, as a family business.

  • The Rise of Spec Suites: an Analysis of Speculative Office Spaces in the Washington Metro Area
    THOUGHT LEADERSHIP SERIES THE RISE OF SPEC SUITES: AN ANALYSIS OF SPECULATIVE OFFICE SPACES IN THE WASHINGTON METRO AREA OCTOBER 2018 MET SQUARE • WASHINGTON, DC TABLE OF CONTENTS I. The Rise of Spec Suites.................................4 II. Availability of Spec Suites in the Washington Metro Area.................................6 III. Financial Considerations: Cost Comparison of Spec Suites Versus Customized Space ............................8 IV. Implications for Owners and Tenants.........10 2 | © NEWMARK KNIGHT FRANK | RESEARCH | 2018 KEY FINDINGS » Speculative office suites—move-in-ready office spaces that are built-out and designed by the property owner in advance of a tenant signing a lease—have become increasingly popular in the Washington metro area and other markets. Notably, the number of spec suites available in the CBD and East End submarkets of the District of Columbia has more than doubled in the past 18 months. » Spec suites are beneficial for both owners and tenants as they allow owners to market space more efficiently and allow tenants to move in right away, potentially with more flexible lease terms. Tenants do not have to endure the process of securing permits and supervising a build-out. » Spec suites lease up considerably more quickly than space that is not built-out: 3.4 months on average compared with 16.5 months for customized space. » The added flexibility and shorter lease terms that come with spec suites allows owners to charge a premium, with average achieved rents 10-20% higher for spec suites than for TABLE OF CONTENTS customized space. » The build-out costs for spec suites and customized space are essentially the same, since the hard and soft costs for an owner to build a spec suite—$80-$120 per square foot in the District of Columbia and $50-$70 per square foot in the suburbs—are comparable to the average tenant improvement allowances in those markets.

  • Airports As Engine for Urban Development, Airport Berlin Brandenburg International BBI”
    Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco VII Seminario de Urbanismo Internacional Temas y proyectos para una ciudad habitable 25 al 29 de abril de 2011 “Airports as engine for urban development, Airport Berlin Brandenburg International BBI” Hans-Jürgen Koch Projectmanager Development & Sales Berlin Airports BBI Airport – the new airport for Berlin and Brandenburg The stage is set for the future – in September 2006, work was started on expanding Schoenefeld Airport into the new Capital Airport Berlin Brandenburg International BBI. As of 3 June 2012, all air traffi c for the Berlin- Brandenburg region will be concentrated at the airport in the south-east of the city. In the fi rst step, Tempelhof Airport was closed on 30 October 2008. Tegel Airport will be closed in 2012 when BBI opens. The BBI concept envisages a modern airport with short distances where the terminal is located between the two parallel runways. BBI will be a new-generation airport: inexpensive, functional and cosmopolitan with a modern architecture. BBI will be able to provide business travellers, tourists and companies with an airport that offers the best connections, international fl ights, direct motorway access, and a railway station directly below the terminal. A starting capacity of up to 27 million passengers is planned for 2012. Depending on passenger development, the airport can be expanded to accommodate up to 45 million passengers. This means that BBI will provide the Berlin-Brandenburg region with the capacity it requires for the coming decades. Stepping stone to the east The outlook is clear – BBI is intended to be an airport at the heart of Europe with a strong focus on European point-to-point traffi c and selected long-haul connections.

    Henderson Park and Greystar celebrate structural completion of Nine Elms Parkside with Wandsworth Council LONDON, 28 July 2021 – Henderson Park, the European real estate investment platform, and Greystar Real Estate Partners (“Greystar”), a global leader in the investment, development and management of high-quality rental housing properties, have celebrated the structural completion of the UK’s largest single-phase build to rent development Nine Elms Parkside with a topping out ceremony attended by senior representatives of Wandsworth Council and partners Telford Homes and Cain International. Located at the former Royal Mail depot site in the London Borough of Wandsworth, plots B and D at Nine Elms Parkside have been purposefully designed for rent and comprise two twinned buildings with a total of 894 new homes that will welcome new residents over an 18-month period from Spring 2022. The development features a mix of apartments ranging from studios up to three-bedrooms with a proportion allocated for Discounted Market Rent and London Living Rent within the tenure-blind development; the affordable and private residents share the same building entrance, and both will have full access to the amenity spaces. Each of the 10 to 17 storey buildings features 12,500 sq ft of amenity space with a rooftop swimming pool, gym, pet spa, children’s play space, private dining rooms, cinema rooms and a sky lounge. There are two large outdoor terraces, yoga gardens and community herb gardens complete with beehives.

  • CO2 Emissions from New Passenger Cars in Europe: Car Manufacturers’ Performance in 2020
    BRIEFING © 2021 INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON CLEAN TRANSPORTATION AUGUST 2021 CO2 emissions from new passenger cars in Europe: Car manufacturers’ performance in 2020 Prepared by: Uwe Tietge, Peter Mock, Sonsoles Díaz, Jan Dornoff This briefing paper provides an overview of CO2 emission levels of new passenger cars in the European Union (EU) in 2020 based on a preliminary dataset recently released by the European Environment Agency (EEA).1 The dataset showed that new cars sold in the EU in 2020 had average CO2 emissions of 108 g CO2/km, 14 g/km lower than in 2019, as measured over the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Including flexible compliance mechanisms, such as super-credits and phase-in provisions, lowers average NEDC CO2 emissions to 96 g/km. Nearly all manufacturers met their 2020 CO2 targets. As an update to the previous year’s briefing, this paper details manufacturer performance in terms of CO2 emissions reduction, fuel type and technology trends, and market share.2 The paper focuses on differences between Member States, as well as between the major car makers. It also discusses flexible compliance mechanisms and presents data on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). The preliminary EEA dataset used in this briefing has yet to be validated. The final dataset will be published at the end of 2021, so the specific values used in this report may change. The preliminary data for 2020 should, however, provide relatively reliable results.3 The ICCT will review the final European emissions data in the next edition of the European Vehicle Market Statistics Pocketbook.4 www.theicct.org 1 European Environment Agency, “Monitoring of CO2 Emissions from Passenger Cars – Regulation (EU) 2019/631,” Data, European Environment Agency, June 29, 2021, https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/ data/co2-cars-emission-20.
