John Moriarty and Associates lands the development deal of a lifetime that will include the Boston Celtics as tenants.

By Kat Zeman

Boston has a new neighborhood on the horizon. Poised on the Mass Pike and easily accessible from anywhere in the city, the mixed-use 15-acre development will soon be the new home of an apartment complex and a variety of commercial businesses, sports venues and a hotel.

Welcome to Boston Landing. It’s already the new home of the Boston Bruins hockey team and the Boston Celtics basketball team’s practice facility will follow soon. The mammoth development, which has been baptized as the revitalization of Boston’s Brighton neighborhood, is the brainchild of New Balance Chairman Jim Davis.

Experience can mean everything when it comes to a builder’s success on a project. T.W. Frierson (TWF) Contractor Inc.’s previous work helps it excel as it renovates and expands the distribution center of footwear-retailer Journeys in Lebanon, Tenn.

“In the mid-1980s, the company decided to focus on industrial and distribution facilities – so we are very experienced in this type of construction,” TWF Senior Project Manager Brent Edwards declares, noting that projects like this make the best use of its strengths: self performance of concrete and tilt-up expertise.

eMars

The Compliant Client system from eMars helps contractors ensure payroll compliance.

In-depth federal government audits. Large fines. Jail time. Going out of business. A non-compliant payroll is a serious problem with strong negative effects. Out-of-compliance payroll checks can’t be ignored away. No kidding. No joke.

The Davis-Bacon Act, passed by Congress in 1931, requires private contractors to pay prevailing wages to employees on all government-funded construction projects worth more than $2,000. Stiff fines and jail time can result if payroll checks are not in compliance with this act. There are 30 compliance regulations that must be adhered to for every check.

L&L Holding Co. – 390 Madison Avenue and 425 Park Avenue

L&L Holding is nearing completion on two trophy assets in Midtown Manhattan.
By Staci Davidson and Jim Harris, Senior Editors at Knighthouse Media

L&L Holding Co. specializes in redevelopment, but “we tend to take a slightly extreme view on it,” according to Vice President Jeffrey Davis. By “extreme,” he means L&L goes above and beyond when it comes to value in its New York City projects, compared to other developers. This approach has not only won L&L many awards for its work, it also brings a lot of attention to the company for its dedication to excellence.

“Developers often talk about being value-add, but we take it to an extreme and knock it out of the park,” Davis says. “We really reimagine the projects so they are something new and unique.”
