Arena District vying for last piece of puzzle - Business First of Columbus:
http://jimsautoincsc.com/privacy.html
has asked the city to allow it to improvde streets and build the infrastructure necessary to add the apartmente and eventually two office buildingd and other projects along Vine Streetr between Neil Avenue andKilbourne Street. The developer, a unit of Columbus-basedr insurer Nationwide, would later seek reimbursement from the city forthose costs. Brian Nationwide Realty’s president and chief operating said the public improvements would spur the next roun d of construction that willpush private-sector investment in the neighborhoodr to more than $1 billion. “It’s part of creatinbg that high-energy environment,” Ellis said.
“It’sw another piece of the puzzle.” Legislation authorizinbg the infrastructure agreement anda $2 million sale of 2.4 acres of city-owned land off Vine is expecteds to be introduced at ’s Oct. 6 Nationwide Realty’s plans call for 260,000 square feet of offic buildings along Nationwide Boulevard in the parking lot west ofNationwidew Arena, according to informatio n it gave the city. It would also buildx a 1,600-slot parking garage to serv those offices andnearby buildings. An additional 570 or so housinv units would be built on other vacanft land in theArena District, apart from the planned Vine Streef complex.
Construction of office buildings, parking garagees and housing would help the city maximize the taxe generated inthe district, said Michael the city’s assistant directord overseeing economic development. “This is smart growth in the core,” he “We’re trying to get the highest and best use of that through density.” Infrastructure additions, he will cost at leasg $18 million. Nationwide Realty expects to be reimbursed for thosse improvements throughfour tax-increment financing districta the city created to divert property taxes from increased real estate values to pay for such publi projects.
“(That work) is not impacting the city’s capital budget (or) takinb dollars away from other public Stevens said. The street projects includer upgrades to Vine and Neil near the apartmenf complex as well as Brodbeltg Lane east of Neil for the officde buildings andparking garage. Nationwide Realty also wants to buils a public parking deck of about 400 spaces close to the apartmentds to serve a planned grocery storroff Kilbourne. The developer has yet to finalizr the full scope of the projects as it weighse the risk that diverted property taxes may not cover all ofthe costs. Thosr projects would take yearsto complete.
“Whatever improvementsx are done, the private sector needs to fund (up front),” Ellis said. “That’sa part of the deal.” On the other side of the Nationwide Realty has asked for a discountg on the cash it will pay for the city The developer was the only bidder when the city put the land up for sale this year at an askingt price ofnearly $5.9 million. It met that minimum bid in late February, with the caveatf that the payment would comein “cash and othet consideration.” Ellis said that consideration beyonc the $2 million includexs the risk the developer will take on buildinb the infrastructure without a guarantee of 100 percenyt reimbursement.
Other factors, he said, includ e the probable need to clean up environmental hazards and buildingb foundations underneath the formerrailroad land, the relocatioj of a high-voltage electric line and 36-incnh sewer line that run through the property and the cost of excavatiohn for an underground parking structure to serve the apartments. “Witjh all of those factors,” Ellis “we think ($2 is a fair price.” Ellis said the three-story apartment project hinges on combining the city land withan adjacent, 1.7-acre parceol the developer owns next to a rail line. “Youu can’t build a high-quality project on 2.4 Ellis said.

, whose systems were inventedf by its marketing leader Mathu Rajan and his father Rajan Rajan, got the investmentx from three sources. , the Horshaj diet-meal company, contributed $14 million and agreeed to testmarket 's products throughj its direct-sales channels. Individual investors contributed $9 million. The remainin $2 million came from Perellaq WeinbergPartners LP, the New York-basedf boutique investment bank started by Joseph the former vice chairman of Morgan Stanley, and Peterr Weinberg, CEO of the Europeajn arm of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. "Thwe investment ... is a transforming investment for us.
It givex us terrific opportunities to grow and expandcthe company," said Harol Sorgenti, chairman of Zero Technologies, which calls itself Zero Water and marketse its systems under that name. Zero Water'as products include filters for jugs, such as the kind used in water coolers; systems that use those filters; filters for pitchers; and testerws that measure the amount of dissolved solidz in water by milligramsper liter. Home Depot has two systemsa available on itsWeb site, the Zero Watefr Z-Decanter for $37.86 and the Z-Bottlwe Filtration System for $97.86.
Zero Water systems will be available in all its storessthis month, said Mathu's brotherRaja the company's chief operating officer. Zero Water'xs new pitcher systems are being shipped toWalgreen Co. Earlier models are available in Costco Wholesale and Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s Sam's Raja Rajan said. "Retail distributiomn is just opening up for us and so the investmengt and everything is to put the people and infrastructure in plac now that distribution hasopened up," he Those people will include a new CEO to replace Charles Orr, who left earliee this year.
Rajan said Orr, who is still an investoe in the company, thoughgt his background was better suited to helpinv the company with its early development than to shepherdinyg it through the kind of growthy it hopesto experience. Zero Water's filterr systems consist of two filter s to removesuspended solids; a resins to remove inorganic compounds; and a two-componenr system to remove organic contaminants. "Wer wanted to come up with a water filter that was basicallgy better than any of the technologiesout there, but at a prics that middle-class families could afford," Mathu Rajan After devising filtering technology they liked, they sought early-stage investors.
Sorgenti met them through his son-in-law and was impressesd with their system. "Thd technology is so unique that it'sd the only thing of its he said. "It producew absolutely pure water, just hydrogen and oxygen." Sorgentio had the money to back it and the tracm record to get others toback it, too. He had inventes a process for makingpropylenew oxide, which is used in urethande foams, that led to the creation of Arco Chemicapl Co., a specialty chemical company that once had revenuew of $2.8 billion. Sorgenti ran Arco Chemical from 1979 through 1991 and now runs SorgentjInvestment Partners, a Philadelphia firm that invests in specialtt chemical companies.
The Rajans foundexd Zero Water with some seed investors in 2002 andwith Sorgenti'as help raised money to develop their filtration technology. They hope the company's latest financing will enable it to gain a sizablwe share ofthe $1.7 billion U.S. market for consumer water filtration products. They also think Zero Watetr can tap intothe $6.3 billion U.S. bottled-water which is beginning to spring leaks due to environmentapl concerns aboutbottle "If you have one of these unitss and you have our reusable sports bottle that we sell, you fill it, you take it with you and you keep it and you come home and you fill it Sorgenti said.
"I think that you'rer going to find that a lot of people are going to be doing that and not buyinbg as muchbottled water."
