Business Wire
Please replace the release dated July 31, 2008 with the following
corrected version due to changes to the fifth graph. The corrected
release reads: RUDOLPH AND SLETTEN NAMED FOR PRECONSTRUCTION
SERVICES FOR 9900 WILSHIRE CONDOMINIUM PROJECT Rudolph and Sletten,
Inc. announced today that it has been awarded the preconstruction
services contract for the proposed luxury condominium project �9900
Wilshire� positioned on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The
site is owned by Project Lotus LLC, a joint venture between CPC
Group, the Guernsey, UK-based property development business owned
by Christian Candy and Kaupthing HF, the largest Icelandic bank.
The site, situated in the heart of one of the country�s most
prestigious neighborhoods, will require detailed logistics
sequencing and preplanning to minimize the impact to the community.
In preparation for the new towers, Rudolph and Sletten will also be
responsible for moving a water pipe that feeds the city of Santa
Monica. This new pipe system has been ordered and is currently in
fabrication. The construction activities will commence following
its arrival. A great emphasis will be placed on mitigating traffic,
noise, and other environmental effects during construction. The
iconic project includes 235 luxurious and environmentally
responsible condominiums that will be constructed within two
residential towers overlooking the west entrance to Beverly Hills
on the site of the former Robinsons-May Department store. The
project will be built to achieve a Gold Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) standard, one of the highest
recognitions from the U.S. Green Building Council. The complex is
being designed by world-renowned architects Richard Meier and
Partners. It won the American Institute of Architects Architectural
Design Award in 2007. Exclusive interior design company Candy &
Candy, Inc. has been appointed as development managers and will be
leading the interior design. The development is positioned within
one third of the eight-acre site and includes extensive private and
public gardens designed by Olin Partnership, internationally
acclaimed landscape architects. The new residences will offer
extensive amenities appropriate to such a luxurious address
including concierge service, valet parking, and fitness spa
facilities. The project aims to consume 25% less energy, use 50%
less water, and create less greenhouse emissions than comparable
residential buildings. �The 9900 Wilshire development represents a
new paradigm in quality for residential construction,� said Rudolph
and Sletten Project Executive John McRitchie. �We are fully engaged
in preplanning all aspects of the project to bring this
award-winning Richard Meier and Partners design to fruition. �Our
dedication to safety and community during construction complements
the 9900 Wilshire commitment to smoothly integrate into this
vibrant and historical area,� McRitchie added. �Rudolph and
Sletten�s leadership in quality management and implementation will
ensure that this project successfully represents the world-renowned
reputation of the Candy & Candy brand.� The construction
quality of the condominiums will be exacting in its precision and
unique in its material selection. The fa�ade of the buildings will
have large areas of specialized glazing, terracotta panels, and
finished concrete. The visionary interior design developed by Candy
& Candy transcends traditional luxury to create a lifestyle
environment of the utmost sophistication. About Rudolph and
