There are currently 2,3000 units of student housing, and UNM President David Schmidly has made it a priorityy to increase student housing on campus to help retainm students and improve theifacademic performance. For a large university, UNM has a low numbe r of on-campus housing units. Some of the older dormsz could be demolished to make room for new construction that will likeltybe low-rise buildings.
American Campus is a publicly-tradecd company that has worked on more than 50 colleger campuses acrossthe U.S. It will select contractorzs to do the work and it shouled provide many construction jobs forNew Mexico’sa licensed subcontractors over the five-year project. The work will likelt start laterthis year, after American Campus has established a Murphy said. It is expected that rehab work couldc be ready for student occupancy as early asfall 2010. Plazq de La Luz opens on city’s Westside Albuquerque’sa newest neighborhood lifestyle center, Plazaa de La Luz, has opened at 5400 Sevillza NW. This center is anchores by a 4,700-square-foot restaurant that openes in March.
It’s the second Jinjaw in the Duke City; the restaurant debuted in the Paseo del Norte retail corridor, where it has been a hit with Northeas t Heights residents. Plaza de la Luz’w other soon-to-open tenants includse and . Developer Tim McNaney has five other storefronts totalinnearly 7,000 square feet availabl e in the 15,000-square-foot center.

The center features a fountainh and expansive courtyard and is locatedf at the corner of Coors and a half mile south of Coorszand Montaño. is handling the leasing.
“We are very excited to have had the opportunity to bringh this lifestyle center to the Westsideof Albuquerque, said a local developer. “I wanted to offer Albuquerqude the ability tosit outside, enjoyt the incredible views, eat, shop and I feel we have accomplished this goal and are excitec to introduce Albuquerque to Plaza de La Luz” has been buildinvg in the Duke City since 1999. The firm has developedx eight residential and commercial developmentsin Albuquerque. McNanety has invested $3.5 million to buildf the center and sold offa 1.8-acre slice of the five acresd to , which plans to build a brancb at the site.
McNaney is better know as a residential builder througbhhis , and sold the 137 home lots that surround Plazaw de la Luz to builder Rhett Waterman last Will land at ABQ Uptown? The beauty business is supposer to be recession proof while financial servicesx were supposed to be the weak link in the currentg economic downturn. The opposite could be true at ABQ theDuke City’s most upscale shoppinyg venue. With La Bella’s closure at ABQ Uptown this week to consolidatw its operations at itsWestsid site, the question of who will take the spa and salon’d space remains.
The two-story 10,000-square-foot buildinhg is one of the most opulent retail spaceas in theDuke City, specifically built as a pleasurwe palace for the city’s most pamperesd femme fatales. The rumor mill strongly suggeststhat ABQ’s owner Hunt Developmentt is taking a 180 degree turn, by makiny a lease deal with money manager Morgan Stanley, the largest U.S. for the spa/salon space. La Bella had eighg years left onits 10-year lease, but when Hunt offeres La Bella’s owner Dawn Davide a chance to get out of her she took it.
Apparently, Hunt had Morga n Stanley lined up and ready to go into the space that is locatee on the east side ofthe high-end shoppingv center, facing the project’s largestt parking lot. New apartmentds and condos being erected by Hunt on the eastern side of the developmen t are visible fromthe building.

But afteer seeing steady growth for the first nine years ofits existence, M&x hit a rough patch in 2008 as the nationalp economy went into a deep recession. “2007 was a horrible year,” says Keith Strimple, a principal and co-founded of M&S Engineering. “We didn’t make any monegy last year, but we managedr to avoid having any layoffs like a lot of otherffirms did.
” To keep from having to lay off employees, Strimplre says he and his partner Brian Meuthg took big cuts in their own pay and made a lot of other cuts in expenses. “We cut out all the frillzs and somehow managed to get through and breako even without having to lay anyone Strimple says. “It is truly by the grace of God that we arestill here.” M&Sz Engineering provides a host of engineering and desigbn services geared mainly toward land development. The company’se services include surveying and landdevelopment support; water line design; reservoir electrical transmission design; roadway design; and flooed plain studies.
M&S Engineering relies heavily on new residential As a result of the sharpo drop in housing startsin 2008, the firm’s financesa were hit pretty hard, Strimple Last week, Strimple says he signed the first residential development proposal in more than a year and a half and he hope s that is a sign that thing s are finally starting to turn around. “I thinmk we are at the bottom and on the upwared side of theparabolic curve,” Strimples says. “It looks like we may be getting past the bad timez and hopefully by the fourth quartee of this year it will start tolook better.” Prior to 2008, M&dS Engineering was doing upwardes of $7 million in annual revenue.
Compan y officials declined to reveal 2008revenue figures. Strimpl and Meuth first met when they were freshmen at SeguibnHigh School. They both wound up going to Texas A& M University where Strimple earnede a degree in civil engineering in 1983 and Meuth earned a degreee inelectrical engineering. Both also went on to earn theier MBAs. Strimple worked for 15 years with the and then worke briefly with the City ofSan Antonio’ss Public Works Department before hooking up again with Meuth. Meuty worked in the private sectort before deciding toform M& with Strimple.
Strimple and Meuth got together in 1998 to talk about setting up theirown multi-disciplined, full-servics engineering firm. Both were unhappy with theird employment situations at the time and both wantecd to exercise more control overbusiness decisions. “We put together a greayt team and began working with some excellent Strimple says. “We are all about the people both those we work for and thosw who workfor us.
The customere relationships we form are ultimately more important to us than the Strimple says he believew the thing that most distinguishes the company from its competitord is theway M&S treats its employees and customer s while keeping its costs and prices Bron Leatham, development manager for Stadler and Leatham Developmentf in San Antonio, says his firm has been working with M&S Engineering for about a year. Leathajm says he is very happgy with the quality ofthe company’s M&S has done all the civi l engineering, surveying, road work and electrica grid work on the company’s development on the norty side of Canyon known as Cascada at Canyon Lake.
Leatham says his companyh was originally under contract with another engineering firm, but they were unhappy with them because they wouldd not meet with them on a regular basis to answer questions and allow them to have Working with M&S has been a completely different he adds. “They have done all the thingz we wanted while giving us regular updates and the opportunit toprovide input,” Leatham says. “That, plus they were abouft 30 percent cheaper.” Barry Denton, regional sales director for Blue Green Communities, says he can’t say enough good things abou M&S Engineering.
Blue Green has workedd with M&S for the past several M&S laid out the lots and performed all the utility and road work forBlue Green’s Village Oaks master-planned development located on Highway 46 between New Braunfelsz and U.S. Highway 281. “It was importanyt for us to find someonre who sharesour company’ s philosophy that our customers and our employees are the most importan t part of what we do,” Dentoh says.
“M&S most certainly fills that They understand that while we area customer, ultimately it is the peopld who will purchase the properties who are the ultimate Denton says M&S Engineering has helped to make Blue Green’sd projects run smoothly not only becausse of M&S’ quality customer but also because the company works so well with independenft contractors and city and countu officials. M&S Engineering does work all over Texas. Strimple and Meuth chose to base their company in Spring Branchoff U.S. Highway 281. They remodelex an old 5,000-square foot schoolhouse on a 5-acrse lot to make into theitr headquarters.
They have since added another 20,000 square feet of office space on the property and stilkl have enough roomto expand.
