Laura Street Trio in Trouble? Updated status of six key Downtown projects

[SunKing]

You conveniently forgot this little tidbit.

On Thursday, March 13, 2008, he resigned as president of the Cardinals to become Chief Executive Officer of the New Meadowlands Stadium Company, where he oversaw the opening of The "Meadowlands," the new New York Giants and New York Jets football stadium.

I would be glad to discuss Lamping and the Molasky's on another thread after you tell me what projects Atkins has overseen.  Remember-you promised.

[SunKing]

Try not to get emotional.  Its a simple question.

[SunKing]

so its like Calvinball where you make up the rules as you along?
does anybody know Atkins background?

[SunKing]

Sorry I meant any grown ups or humanoids from this planet, the topic is Atkins.

I would be glad to discuss Lamping and the Molasky's on another thread after you tell me what projects Atkins has overseen.  Remember-you promised.

I did, on the condition that you told us which residential/commercial mixed use projects atkins had done

It seems like you are both trying to figure out the same thing?

This long, inane argument has really got me wondering who this Steve Atkins fella is now. Southeast Group was obviously put together for the sole purpose of this Barnett/Trio project. What did he do before that? He ran Atkins Group, Inc. for 15 years. What did they do? An internet search doesn't reveal much about this gentleman's experience or qualifications. However, some on this board obviously know him and therefore know a little about his training and experience, whether it is in this type of project or not. I wonder if they would share?

16 pages is a lot to read, forgive me, but is Khan back involved with this project? It's between him and Atkins to develop it?

Look what you did now stephendare.  whole new can of worms.

[PeeJayEss]

Actually those are assumptions, PeeJay. His background is actually more diverse and longer than all that.

So what is his background? I want for him to succeed, and I don't claim that Khan has any experience with this sort of development, so I don't have an argument with you, I just want to know about Atkins, and it seems that you know.

Diversity is fine but should we just assume that he has no experience?

[PeeJayEss]

sure.  let me scan the resume and load it up.  It will take me a few hours as I'm doing a project out here in Ponte Vedra.

Thanks!

No, its a partnership with Molasky and Southeast and their (mostly) corporate tenants. Whyisjohngalt typically disparaged Atkins with the Khan comparison.  I made the simple answer, and then Sun King jumped into the conversation with a long screed that literally had nothing to do with the side conversation.  To make himself seem less nebulous and foolish, we've been entertaining this dumb conversation for the better part of the day now.

Name calling is allowed now? 
No need for resumes, yes or no does Atkins have the experience for this type of project?

[SunKing]

You can call me all the names you want stephendare but you do this fellow Atkins and the project's potential a disservice. 
I hope to see the project move forward but I am seriously skeptical at this point.

He has a background in commercial real estate and I believe in addition he developed a successful medical complex here in town. I will make some inquiries to confirm this. Regardless of his experience in mixed use development, he has formed one hell of a team that has more than enough experience to get the job done and do it well. He has been vetted by 2 massive international companies that also feel he and his team can get it done. Hope this helps.
