The agreement is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey, which ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ hopes to obtain in the coming days. ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝B will retain its ownership interest in the British Colonial and Margaritaville Beach Resort hotels, which the company believes will benefit the entire Bahamian community well into the future.

The resolution follows ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝, ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝B and CSCECB’s motion to appeal the New York State Supreme Court’s prior decision and ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝â€™s filing for chapter 11, which had been pursued in parallel to protect the interests of the co-defendants’ stakeholders.

ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ Construction, Inc. Takes Strategic Actions to Address Wrongful New York State Court Decision and Protect Interests of all Stakeholders /press-releases/cca-construction-inc-takes-strategic-actions-to-address-wrongful-new-york-state-court-decision-and-protect-interests-of-all-stakeholders/ /press-releases/cca-construction-inc-takes-strategic-actions-to-address-wrongful-new-york-state-court-decision-and-protect-interests-of-all-stakeholders/#respond Sun, 22 Dec 2024 22:53:26 +0000 http://www.chinaconstruction.us/?p=2474 Continue reading "ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ Construction, Inc. Takes Strategic Actions to Address Wrongful New York State Court Decision and Protect Interests of all Stakeholders"]]> Consistent with these objectives, ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ today commenced a chapter 11 case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. The court-supervised process provides, among other things, for an automatic stay of enforcement of any claim or pursuit of any litigation against ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝. The chapter 11 case does not include any of ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝â€™s subsidiaries, including Plaza Group Holdings LLC, ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ Civil, Inc, China Construction America of South Carolina, Inc., Strategic Capital (Beijing) Consulting Co., Ltd., its parent company CSCEC Holding Company, Inc, or any other affiliates, the business and operations of which will continue as normal.

The Company intends to ask the Bankruptcy Court to modify the automatic stay and authorize ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ to join its co-defendants, ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ Bahamas Ltd. (“ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝B”) and CSCEC Bahamas, Ltd. (“CSCECB”), in pursuing an appeal of the New York State trial court decision. Non-debtor defendants ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝B and CSCECB are not subsidiaries, parents or shareholders of ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ and are not included in ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝â€™s chapter 11 case.

Yan Wei, Chairman & CEO of ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝, said: “Our actions today are intended to protect ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝â€™s right to appeal the New York state court’s fatally flawed decision and preserve the value of ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ for the benefit of all stakeholders while the appeal process plays out. The record is clear that BML Properties’ losses were entirely the result of its own gross mismanagement and irresponsible actions, and that the lower court’s decision suffers from multiple, insurmountable errors of law. Among its many failings, the lower court’s decision completely ignores the reality that ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ was not involved at all in the Baha Mar construction project. We look forward to presenting our arguments to the appellate court.”

The Company has filed “first day” motions to obtain the requisite court authority for ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ to continue operating its business in the ordinary course for the duration of the chapter 11 process. ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝â€™s parent company, CSCEC Holding Company, Inc. is providing the Company $40 million in debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing. ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ expects the DIP financing will provide it with sufficient liquidity to continue operations in the ordinary course during the chapter 11 process. CSCEC Holding has also agreed to provide additional funding directly to ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝â€™s subsidiaries so that they have the funding they need to continue their operations in the ordinary course during the duration of the chapter 11 case.

A stunning arrival experience welcomes residents home and will set the luxurious tone for the building the moment one enters.

The lobby boasts a captivating wall of windows framing views of the courtyard Viewing Garden, designed by legendary French botanist Patrick Blanc, creator of the vertical garden. A symbol of health and well being, the Viewing Garden will be home to multiple plant species artfully planted on walls reaching up to 18 feet in height.

River Club At Hudson Park Hosts Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony With Yonkers Mayor /press-releases/river-club-at-hudson-park-hosts-ribbon-cutting-ceremony-with-yonkers-mayor/ /press-releases/river-club-at-hudson-park-hosts-ribbon-cutting-ceremony-with-yonkers-mayor/#respond Wed, 15 May 2019 13:59:53 +0000 http://www.chinaconstruction.us/?p=1895 Continue reading "River Club At Hudson Park Hosts Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony With Yonkers Mayor"]]> The ceremony was attended by Ning Yuan, ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ Chairman and President and Strategic Capital Chairman and CEO; Huang Ping, Consul General of China in New York; and Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. Located at 63 Wells Avenue, River Club is situated along the Hudson River waterfront in Yonkers’ thriving Downtown neighborhood. Illustrating the transformation of the area and its increasing appeal as a living destination for New Yorkers, River Club is approximately 50-percent occupied after launching leasing at the end of 2018.

“River Club presented us with a unique opportunity – the city of Yonkers is in the midst of a massive transformation and the building’s waterfront location enabled us to ensure unprecedented views and a less than 30-minute-commute to Midtown Manhattan,” said Ning Yuan. “We set out to elevate the level of luxury in Westchester County and looking at the finished project now, and how it is resonating with residents, we couldn’t be prouder.”

The luxury rental tower signifies the fourth and final building in Strategic Capital’s 16-acre waterfront development Hudson Park. The sizeable development is stretched along an idyllic half mile of the Hudson River Promenade and is comprised of three other rental buildings in addition to River Club. Located steps from the historic and recently renovated Yonkers rail station, it is just a 28-minute train ride to Midtown Manhattan.

“China Construction America’s investment in the River Club is a testament to the ongoing revitalization of our downtown and the return of our waterfront to our residents,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. “The addition of River Club to our housing stock provides high-quality living and convenience that continues to make Yonkers the place to live, work and play.”

Consul General of China in New York Huang Ping congratulated the City of Yonkers, China Construction America and its partners on all the cooperation to make this project possible. “ĚěĂŔ´ŤĂ˝ is one of the best and they have been doing a lot of projects like River Club.” said Ambassador Huang. “This project further demonstrated that by cooperating together we can create a win-win result. When we continue with our cooperation we can further grow this good relationship between China and the US.”

Offering an urban lifestyle amidst a striking natural backdrop, River Club at Hudson Park is pioneering a new standard of elegance in northern New York City and Westchester County. At 240-feet-tall and situated directly on the Hudson River, River Club features unprecedented vistas of the waterfront, New Jersey Palisades and New York City skyline.

“We are excited to celebrate the opening of River Club in Westchester’s newest creative hub,” said Phillip Gesue, Chief Development Officer of Strategic Capital. “This project is located in what is becoming one of the most desirable locations outside of New York City and is addressing the demand for new luxury homes among those looking to call Yonkers home.”

The tower’s 213 residences have been artfully designed by acclaimed architectural design firm JSA, which opted to infuse each with a sophisticated and contemporary design aesthetic. Ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, each light-filled home features white oak floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for an abundance of natural light as well as breathtaking views of the Hudson River and New York City skyline.

A hallmark of the development, River Club at Hudson Park offers residents an extensive selection of best-in-class amenities. Perfect for fitness aficionados, River Club is outfitted with a state-of-the-art fitness center as well as an elegant indoor swimming pool overlooking the Hudson River. Those looking to socialize will enjoy the roof-level River Club Bar, which features expansive views of the Manhattan skyline and New Jersey Palisades. During the winter months, the ground floor River Club Lounge offers a great respite from the cold with a large fireplace with walnut mantle as well as soaring 18-foot ceilings.

River Club is also outfitted with the latest in-home technology, including an automated package concierge locker system for deliveries, a Butterfly MX smartphone video intercom and real-time transportation information provided by Transit Screen. It is pet-friendly and offers smoke-free living, as well as a 24-hour concierge service to assist with residents’ needs and requests.

A highly-anticipated café is currently under construction nearby at 1 Alexander Street. The space is being designed by the founder of Jersey City’s popular Grind Café and will offer a built-in extension of the residential amenities spaces at River Club.

Move-ins at River Club at Hudson Park are well underway. Pricing begins at $1,720 for studios, $2,190 for one-bedrooms, and $2,870 for two-bedrooms. For additional information or to schedule an appointment, please contact the River Club at Hudson Park leasing office at 914-969-1386 or visit .

New Downtown Condominium Tower Greenwich West Tops Out On Manhattan’s Reinvented West Side Waterfront /press-releases/new-downtown-condominium-tower-greenwich-west-tops-out-on-manhattans-reinvented-west-side-waterfront/ /press-releases/new-downtown-condominium-tower-greenwich-west-tops-out-on-manhattans-reinvented-west-side-waterfront/#respond Tue, 08 Jan 2019 15:22:58 +0000 http://www.chinaconstruction.us/?p=1847 Continue reading "New Downtown Condominium Tower Greenwich West Tops Out On Manhattan’s Reinvented West Side Waterfront"]]> Greenwich West is located at 110 Charlton Street in the flourishing Hudson Square neighborhood, which sits at the nexus of the West Village, Soho and Tribeca. The area, and all of Manhattan’s west side waterfront up to Hudson Yards, is currently in the midst of one of New York City’s biggest development booms, as illustrated by tech giant Google’s recent announcement to develop a New York campus in Hudson Square. This news came just months after Disney / ABC announced it would be moving its New York headquarters to the neighborhood, further showcasing the area’s transformation into a 24-7 live, work and play destination.

“This moment marks a major milestone for Greenwich West, and we’re proud to see the building take its place on the skyline,” said Phillip Gesue, Chief Officer of Development at Strategic Capital. “Plaza Construction has done an incredible job of bringing our team of Parisian designers’ vision to life and the building’s rapid progress is a direct result of their hard work and dedication.”

Greenwich West’s 170 light-filled residences range from studios to three-bedrooms, including a collection of penthouses. Each home has been meticulously designed to offer an open floorplan and loft-inspired layout as well as a bespoke feel. The tower’s graceful setbacks create substantial private terraces that capitalize on Greenwich West’s hallmark river views.

“The rapid topping out of Greenwich West is a testament to the extraordinary efforts of our entire team of talented, designers, builders, and contractors,” said Craig Wood, CEO of Cape Advisors. “The team’s commitment to this project is demonstrated by the attention to detail and aggressive schedule that has enabled us to stay on track for completion in early 2020. We couldn’t be prouder of the work that has been done, and are excited to further introduce Greenwich West to the market as it progresses.”

“Building Greenwich West and seeing it rise to distinction as a formidable, one-of-a-kind luxury residential condominium featuring an abundance of light and openness is a source of pride for Plaza Construction,” says Richard Wood, Chairman and CEO of Plaza Construction. “As the project completes it will add a touch of elegance as it graces the Manhattan waterfront.”

Architecture firms Loci Anima and Adamson Associates designed a striking handmade brick façade adorned with custom glazed brick accents and Art Deco-inspired curved corners, which lend a softness to the tower. Industrial-style casement windows — framed by elegant hand-laid brick patterns and custom brick borders — salute the neighborhood’s heritage. Interiors designed by Sebastien Segers Architects — known for his elegant details across private homes, spas, and boutiques for clients such as Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior — echo the gentle curves of the exterior architecture, including deep undulating window-sills topped with Carrara marble that invite interaction with the windows and views, and custom kitchen islands featuring crafted “marine-edge”

Carrara marble countertops. World renowned botanist and landscape artist Patrick Blanc has designed a signature vertical green wall for the building’s courtyard Viewing Garden.

Greenwich West is a rare Downtown building that includes a full array of amenities and services including a 24-hour attended lobby, onsite resident manager, porter and handyman staff. At the building’s crown is an amenity rooftop terrace with breathtaking city and water views as well as multiple lounge and seating areas.

Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is the exclusive sales and marketing firm for Greenwich West. A sales gallery located at 435 Hudson Street is now open by appointment, and pricing for the building’s 170 loft-inspired residences ranges from $1,190,000 to $7,750,000.

To officially celebrate the commencement of construction at the 30-story condominium building, an exclusive ceremony was held this morning and attended by Hudson Square Connection President and CEO Ellen Baer, Deputy Consul General of Chinese Consulate in New York Mr. Zhao Yumin, and local officials. Sales of Greenwich West’s 170 residences will begin this fall at prices starting under $1 million, a rarity for new development in Manhattan’s desired downtown neighborhoods.

“Greenwich West signifies Strategic Capital’s first luxury condo development in New York City and we are very proud to witness construction fully underway.” said Phillip Gesue, Strategic Capital’s Chief Development officer. “We believe this building’s outstanding value, classic loft design and quality construction by our affiliate Plaza Construction will resonate with a wide range of buyers both here in New York and internationally.”

Greenwich West is designed by a team of acclaimed design-world visionaries including Parisian-based design architect Loci Anima and Paris-based interior designer Sebastien Segers Architecte. Both firms worked in close collaboration with architect of record Adamson Associates. Together the firms fused the early 20th century industrial context of the neighborhood with a classic French aesthetic. The results are comfortably chic condominium residences with outstanding views of the Hudson River. The project is being built by Plaza Construction, an affiliate of Strategic Capital and known to be one of the foremost builders of luxury residential projects in New York.

Greenwich West will be a rare full service downtown building to include concierge, doorman and a full array of amenities. The building will feature gracious residences ranging from studio to three-bedroom homes, and be anchored by an intimate cafĂŠ retail space on the ground floor as well as on-site parking, a particularly exciting amenity for residents. At 290 feet tall, a hallmark of the tower will be its Manhattan skyline and water views, which extend up and down the Hudson River.

“This project presented us with a one-of-a-kind opportunity. It is situated in one of the few prime waterfront neighborhoods in Manhattan at the nexus of some of the city’s most beloved areas, said Craig Wood, CEO of Cape Advisors. “We believe Greenwich West will provide a great value in today’s market and we look forward to watching the building rise and progress towards completion.”

Situated at the cusp of Greenwich Village, the West Village, Soho, and Tribeca, Greenwich West offers endless discovery of history, culture, and creativity. Residents will benefit from the proximity to Hudson River Park, just steps away, and its incredible greenspace and waterfront access. A confluence of downtown amenities makes Greenwich West the ideal address for anyone exploring all lower Manhattan has to offer.

“Following a year of preconstruction efforts and working with world-class design-world collaborators, Plaza Construction takes the vision from concept to reality and begins construction of Greenwich West in a style reflective of European design to blend with the Soho Hudson Square neighborhood,” says Christopher Mills, COO of Plaza Construction. “We are recognized for our expertise in luxury condominium building in New York City and are confident that this project will be a standout in our portfolio of work.”

Greenwich West’s ground breaking coincides with the launch of the development’s innovative marketing campaign featuring the acclaimed work of the New York city-based fine artist Aaron Zulpo, known throughout the art world for his narrative paintings of city life. Zulpo has been commissioned to create a series of works that tell the story of life at Greenwich West in his signature dramatic style. The first painting debuts with the launch of the website, where interested parties can also register for the property’s friends and family opening later this year.

Sales at Greenwich West are slated to begin in fall 2018, with first closings expected to commence in early 2020. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for the condominium. For more information please visit greenwichwest.com.

Newport’s First Waterfront Condominium in Nearly 10 Years Tops Out /press-releases/newports-first-waterfront-condominium-in-nearly-10-years-tops-out/ Wed, 28 Mar 2018 14:14:31 +0000 http://www.chinaconstruction.us/?p=1657 Continue reading "Newport’s First Waterfront Condominium in Nearly 10 Years Tops Out"]]> Situated in the idyllic Newport neighborhood, Park and Shore represents the first condominium development within the predominantly rental driven area in eight years. In less than a year the two-building development is now more than fifty-percent sold, further illustrating the pent-up demand for homes for purchase in the sought-after neighborhood. With closings commencing in October 2018 and July 2019 respectively, Park and Shore is rapidly approaching completion and garnering significant interest from buyers as its limited remaining inventory continues to dwindle.

“This marks a major milestone for Park and Shore, and highlights how close we are to bringing this condominium development to life,” noted Phillip Gesue at Strategic Capital. “Park and Shore signifies a truly unique opportunity in Jersey City – it fuses Manhattan-quality design, a robust amenity package and premier location for incredible value – and is redefining the Newport neighborhood.”

Just under 40 stories tall and featuring 358 residences, 75 Park Lane provides buyers with the coveted experience of living in a high-rise tower with outstanding river views and resort-like amenities. Shore House, a boutique seven-story, 71-unit building inspired by the lofts of Tribeca, offers an industrial aesthetic and avant-garde design style. Both buildings are being constructed by Plaza Construction, one of the nation’s leading construction management and general contracting companies and the sister-company of Strategic Capital.

“The interiors of 75 Park Lane are inspired by the sophisticated legacy of American modernism, while Shore House is a grittier counterpoint, recalling the industrial brick past of this neighbourhood,” said Principal Wade Little. “We designed the whole complex as a collection of hospitality experiences. Amenities include an Olympic-size swimming pool, jacuzzi, spa, library, wine-tasting room, private dining room, putting green and a lavish health and wellness precinct, complete with sauna and pool with views of nature. The Sky Lounge, with a chef’s table and terrace, commands wonderful views of the New York skyline.”

Gerald Gendreau, AIA, Senior Associate and building architect, said, “Woods Bagot is thrilled to have had the opportunity to design Park and Shore. The two buildings are unified by common materials: naturally colored metal and terracotta frames that visually connect the buildings to the adjacent public park. We designed the exterior in keeping with the scales of the buildings: 75 Park Lane is comprised of an interlocking series of two-story frames with floor-to-ceiling glass, while Shore House, the lower building, features staggered, single-story frames. 75 Park Lane begins with a low-rise base that extends to the street face. Its tower is set back respecting the residential community scale and provides terrific views of Manhattan and the surrounding New Jersey landscape.”

“We’re excited to help realize the vision for such a significant project that is sure to redefine the Newport Skyline,” stated Christopher Mills, Executive Vice President for Plaza Construction. “Currently Plaza Construction has well over two million square feet of ongoing construction throughout Jersey City. Our firm is proud to bring our record of excellence to this project and to reach this important milestone, while keeping on schedule and on budget. We look forward to the successful completion of Park and Shore.”

In attendance at the top-out ceremony were China Construction America Chairman and President, Ning Yuan, Chinese Consul General in New York, Zhang Qiyue, Jersey City Mayor, Steven Fulop and Plaza Construction Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Wood.

“We are excited to welcome Park and Shore to our Jersey City community, and know that this development will be an incredible addition to the City’s waterfront,” said Mayor Steven Fulop. “Today’s topping off ceremony represents and important milestone, and I look forward to cutting the ribbon on this building soon.”
Ambassador Zhang Qiyue said, “We are glad to see Strategic Capital deliver Park and Shore on schedule while adhering to a high standard in quality. I have no doubt that this condo development will further enhance the vibrant community of Jersey City, which has become home of more and more international students and talented young professionals.”
First closings at Park and Shore are slated to commence late 2018, and pricing for one-bedroom homes at both 75 Park Lane and Shore House starts at $640,000. The sales gallery is located at 100 Town Square Place in Jersey City, and for additional information please visit , or call 201.798.0008.

About Park and Shore
A hallmark of the development, Park and Shore has been designed with an exquisite selection of high quality materials that create a tranquil living experience for residents.

The oversized windows, made possible by the exceptionally designed window and curtain walls, showcase picturesque views of the nearby park, Hudson River, and distant mountaintops. Light and air flood living spaces, promoting wellness and happiness.

Wide-plank wood flooring, by Swedish wood flooring firm Kährs, helps to create a timeless aesthetic and a grounding atmosphere for residents. Specifically, the white oak floors in 75 Park Lane offer a feeling of elegant modernity, while the walnut floors in Shore House evoke a subtle sense of luxury.

75 Park Lane’s master baths embody a thoughtful and sophisticated design approach, illustrated through the use of eastern white marble floors and walls delicately contrasted by a Tundra Grey feature wall. The master baths at Shore House stylishly pair white begonia floors and walls with Venetian bronze accents.

In addition to the homes themselves, all other aspects of Park and Shore have been meticulously designed with exceptional materials and finishes. Stepping into Shore House, its hip yet intimate aesthetic become instantly clear through the ship-lapped oak plank walls, blackened steel feature wall and industrial Edison bulbs. Residents at 75 Park Lane are peacefully greeted with Blue de Savoie marble floors and columns of chiseled Inca Gray Basalt warmed by fluted Walnut wood panels.
