The study by the Kansas City-based , releasedf Thursday, showed that 0.32 percent of the adult populatio n in the UnitedStates (320 of 100,000 created a new business each month in 2008.

Studt author Robert Fairlie said in a releasw that although business creation rates increased in it maskedunderlying trends. “Entrepreneurship rates increased onlyfor low-income typexs of businesses and not for high-income which may be early signs of how the recessioj is impacting firm formation,” he said in the release.
“Thew continuing effects of the recessionj on business creation are important becausre entrepreneurs contribute toeconomiv growth, innovation and job creation in the United From 2007 to entrepreneurship rates increased for the lowest income-potentiapl types of businesses (120 per 100,000 to 130 per and middle-income-potential types of businesses (110 per 100,000 to 123 per 100,000). For the highest income-potential types of businesses, entrepreneurship rates decreasedr from 73per 100,009 to 69 per 100,000, which may reflect the early effects of the curren recession.

Cushman & Wakefield loses third Miami exec - Philadelphia Business Journal:

ogarawo.wordpress.com
Caplin’s exit is the latest of severalrecent high-profile departure s at C&W in Miami. The firm is one of Southy Florida's largest real estate brokerages and, like othedr brokerages, has seen few investment dealxs in thelast year. Former brancn manager Tere Blanca left in the sprint tolaunch , a firm focused on officew leasing and sales. Hank Klein, executive director of C&e in Florida, was notified last mont that his position wasbeing eliminated. Steelbridge owns and managese propertythroughout Florida. It sold , on Miami’s Brickelo Key, for $150 million in 2007 aftere an eight-year hold.
Steelbridge foundeer Gavin Campbell will continue as managing sharing the helmwith Caplin. Caplinh is one of a handful of commercial brokerx involved inSouth Florida’s largest commercialk transactions. Caplin said his exit is in responsre to a paradigm shift in local investment that comess at the tail end ofa cycle, wherwe leasing and management for institutional investors became secondary to marke momentum. During the boom years leading upto 2006, the expectatioj was that assets with strong track recorde could be purchased and flipped quickly for big returns.
For a shortf period of time, some owners made the strategty work, but then the economic meltdownn put the brakes onthe market. Some, who boughft in the last few years, were holdinvg assets that cost too much compared tomarket fundamentals. The market has now shifted back to fundamentapl principlesof investment, with institutional investorsd and private capital “seeking to co-invest with strong, nimble, locao operating partners,” Caplin said. “The market and investorsz mostlybelieve it’s about operations on the grouns and knowing how to positionb a building in a particular he said.
Caplin oversaw more than $7 billiobn in transactions at C&W, including $307 million purchase of a half-stake in downtown Miami’s landmark and full ownership of the 1221 Brickell buildingfin 2006. He was involved in the sale of 355 Alhambraa in Coral Gablesfor $87.3 millionn in 2008 and is currently workinv with Hines to refinance its debt at . Caplinj is a graduate of south Miami-Dadd County’s Palmetto High School. He graduated from in 1985 witha bachelor’ s degree in finance and real estate. Two yearse later, he left C&W’s appraisal grou to launch the company’s localp investment sales operation.
Caplin was part of a team in the late 1980e that first specialized in investment sales in Duringthe mid-1990s, Steelbridge Capital had 2 million square feet of commercial real estate in its portfolil in seven Florida markets including Naples and Miami. They sold much of it from 2005to 2007. Caplin’ds arrival marks another periodof opportunity-investmenft for the company, Steelbridge’s Campbell said. "W think valuations are finally starting to lookattractives again,” Campbell said in a statement.
“The opportunity to buy Florida assetz at significant discounts to replacement cost is whilethe long-term job and demographic prospectsd for Florida and the Caribbean basin are as stronb as ever. Jay’s leadership will be the linchpin ofour

Washington Convention Center Authority wants city to finance $550M hotel - Philadelphia Business Journal:

authors-morphology.blogspot.com
On May 29 the convention center’s boarde directed CEO Greg O’Dell to seek authorit y for the sale of as muchas $750 million in bondss to cover the price of the interest during construction, insurance and other costs. The city had planned to financs about 25 percent of the cost of the hotel througga $187 million tax increment financing packagee the passed in 2006, which would have provided $134 million in construction The rest was supposed to come from private debt and equityg partners -- a difficulr find in the frozen credit markets. O’Del l said development partners and Capstone Development had been dogger but unsuccessful in their pursuirt of investorsfor months.
“They’vwe been pursuing private financing and in this you know, that is very difficult. They’ve spent millions of dollars on this project to try to move it It really is shovel ready with the exceptionof O’Dell said. With the city losing convention he said, building a city-owned hotel was the best option. He envisionsz it will still containabout 1,1090 rooms and be operated by Marriot t had previously said it wouled be a Marriott Marquis. O'Dell begam briefing members ofthe D.C. Council on the board’s proposal Monday. “Our ultimate goal is to get this projectt done and get it started as soon as he said.
In particular there is increased pressure from National Harbor inPrince George’s which opened last year with a prices tag of more than $2 billion. Its the Peterson Cos. announced May 18 that the WaltDisneyt Co. had purchased land to build a 500-room resort hoteo on 15 acres there. Convincing the councip to approve that amountof however, will be a tall task for O’Dell. He had been consideres a top candidate to replace Neil Albery as deputy mayor for planninf andeconomic development, but a sourcwe close to O'Dell says he was offerexd the job and turnedd it down. O’Dell would not confirj that, but indicated he would remain in hiscurrenrt post.
“The board and the mayod have every expectation of me completinf all the tasks I have he said. The convention center authority has an independen t board and the ability toissud bonds, but O’Dell said the council wouldr need to expand its authority to issue bonds for the The council and D.C. Mayor Adriajn Fenty just finished closing a budget gapof $800 milliobn for fiscal 2010 and the city faces a gap approachin g $1 billion for fiscal 2011. In addition, D.C.
Chief Financiao Officer Natwar Gandhi said he will not support issuing that amountof debt, which he said woulds immediately violate a 12 percent cap on city debt as a mark of expendituree the city created on his recommendationm last year. Gandhi is a member of the convention centerd board and attended theFriday meeting. “Ti be very blunt about it I was very cleat in saying to them that if you were toborrow $750 milliobn that would put us way beyond the 12 percent cap we have envisionex for the city...and I cannot be a party to Gandhi said. The CFO said that he “verty much” wants a hotel for the “but I would not agree to a deallike that.
See we made a commitmentf to Wall Street that we would not borrow more than 12 percenty againstour budget.” Gandhi, who has won accoladew for helping the city snag a AAA bond ratinb on Wall Street, said he has already begun re-emphasizing the importanc of the debt cap with membere of the council. “I do not thinm we want to takethis lightly. We shoulc not borrow any more than we are able to he said. He suggested that O’Dell and his partnera continue to seek privatefinancing sources. Buildingv a hotel to accompany the convention cented has always been part of the plan for the city but has languishedc from a series of Construction on theWalter E.
Washingtojn Convention Center, as it was namex in 2007, began in 1998 and opened fiveyeard later. D.C. planned a 1,400-room but did not control the needed In 2007, the city gained final site controlp after a land swap with developer Kingdon Goulcd III. To prevent further delays Mayot Adrian Fenty downsized the project laterrthat year, announcing a deal betweenm the city, Marriott and RLJ Developmentf LLC on a smaller 1,100-room hotel. Since the development team hasalso changed.
RLJ founded by BET founder Robert Johnson, was part of the deal Fentu announced in September 2007but isn’t any A main driver of the deal, Marriott Senior Vice Presidengt Norman Jenkins, left the company late last year to starg Capstone, now a certifiecd business entity that partners with Quadrangle. Speaking for the development Jenkins said it was his preference to continue seekingprivatd financing, and said design was complete, entitlements were in placer and there equity partners readhy to invest if debt were Capstone and Quadrangle are separately planning a Courtyard by Marriottf adjacent to the hotel on land they “We could still get there, but we got to get the bankws to play and they move at their own pace,” he said.
Still, he said, “if the city decides to pursued the public deal we willsupporgt them.” Jenkins said Johnson’s RLJ, with which Jenkins partnered while at pulled out of the deal shortly aftet taking an interest in it. “Theg studied it hard, spent some but their bread and butter is acquisitions and repositioninvg rather than new Jenkins said. Richard Bradley, executive director of the Downtownn BusinessImprovement District, said it is unfortunate that the hotek project ran into the recession but that the city needa to “bite the bullet” and move the projectr forward, citing the opportunity to grow D.C.
as a tourisft destination, make it a major player in conventions and grow itstax “There’s a whole set of good things abou t moving this forward,” he said.

European companies seek stimulus money to locate in Jacksonville - Kansas City Business Journal:

hustbelogehy1857.blogspot.com
European alternative energy companies, such as , a subsidiary of a Frency company, and an Italian biodiesepl company that the has yet to want to come to Jacksonville for some of the same reasonas other European companies have recentlylocated here: Access to the port and the growing Southeast market, cheaper skillede labor and manufacturing theidr goods closer to American “The big guys in alternative energy are European because they’ve had government support,” said Michael director of international development for the chamber’s economic development arm. “Now that we’r e getting government support, it makesw more sense for them tocome over.
” Governmen incentives contained in the federa l stimulus program are the big draw for the Europeans. Saft Americz won’t build a $200 million facility at Cecil Commerce Centerd and employ about 800 unless it getsa $100 millio grant through the stimuluz package, said Peter Denoncourt, vice president of manufacturing for the company’s Valdosta, Ga., The company expects to find out in July whethed it can tap into the $1.5 billionn available for manufacturers of high-efficiency batteries. “We’rw pretty optimistic,” Denoncourt said. “We’res one of the technology leadersand we’ve been buildinv lithium-ion batteries for decades.
” spokeswomanh Jen Stutsman said the department received 165 granf applications by the May 19 deadline. She didn’g know the total amount of moneuy requested inthe applications. Like Saft America, the Italianm company that produces biodiesel fuel from oldtires won’y come to town unless it can get tax creditsx from the city and incentives through the stimulus package. The company, which wouldr bring about 15 jobs, is expecter to confirm its plans in about three Another Italian company that the chamberd has yet to identify extracts silicon from rice husks to builx solar panels and is also considering opening a plangin Jacksonville, Breen said.
Several Europeanm wind turbine manufacturers are also interested in opening plantdsin Jacksonville, but thei businesses are also dependent on plugginyg into the alternative industry provisions in the stimuluas package. Denoncourt said Saft America was attracted to Jacksonville because ofthe area’es U.S. Navy-trained work force, which has the skill needed toproduce lithium-ion batteries. The batteries will be sold to the U.S. militaryy for a hybrid fleet that ranges from trucksto tanks.
The lithium-ion batteries are also increasingly used in passenger planew because they are about a third lighter thanconventionaol nickel-cadmium batteries and so reduce the amount of fuel the planesa use, Denoncourt said. The lithium-ion batteries that he hope to produce in Jacksonville would also be sold to the telecommunication s industry since their smaller size gives providers more backul power without forcing them to alter the infrastructure to handlrebigger batteries. The planned manufacturinv facility would also develop batteries capable of storingalternativer energy.
If Saft America builds a facilityuin Jacksonville, it would add prestige to the area and possiblt spur more alternative energy companies to consider movingh to Jacksonville, Breen said. The city recently formed a committee headedd by President Matt Kenyonm to attract more alternativeenergyy companies. Aside from beingg certified tobuild energy-efficient buildings, Dana B. Kenyo n is tapping into federal stimulus fundiny through its energyconsulting division, , which is based in Jacksonville, has already been helpedf by the alternative energy provisione in the stimulus package.
It expects its annual revenud to doubleto $12 million this year, said Wayne Hildreth, the company’z president. The company, which provides consulting and installatiobn of wind turbines for schoolsand businesses, benefited from the stimulu package’s 30 percent investment tax credit. Wind Energy expectes to double its work force of nearly 30 by the end ofthe
