Contractors eye Tanger Outlets opportunities - Maryland Community Newspapers Online

Business executives are guardedly hopeful that they?ll get a piece of the action when the 460,000-square-foot Tanger Outlets retail center comes to National Harbor within a year.

Officials from both the Peterson Cos., owner and developer of nearby National Harbor in Oxon Hill, and Tanger discussed the project?s status and upcoming business opportunities with representatives from more than 50 small and minority-owned businesses Tuesday at the Oxon Hill Library.

?We have things like this all the time. My concern is that this is not one of those show-and-tell fronts and that it?s legitimately open to the people of Prince George?s,? said Vernon Richardson, vice president of Judd Enterprise in Capitol Heights.

Peterson is in charge of site work, which should begin in October, once all approvals are secured, said Steve Green, vice president of construction at Peterson.

Tanger, of Greensboro, N.C., will be handling the interior work, which has a ?racetrack design,? so shoppers can walk along paths with stores on either side. With up to 80 separate stores in eight buildings to outfit, local companies also could find potential contracts, said Charles Worsham, vice president of development for Tanger. He emphasized that Tanger does not control tenant fit-outs.

?The depth of opportunity is tremendous,? Worsham said, adding that both Peterson and Tanger are partnering with Prince George?s County and its minority business programs to ensure those businesses have access to these contracts.

Because the project is private, neither Peterson nor Tanger is required to have a goal for minority business participation.

Executives at the gathering were excited by the project, although some said they were unsure if they would be able to get contracts on it.

Richardson said he hoped his company could land some information technology contracts. Given the county?s previous reputation for letting major contracts out of state, Prince George?s officials are more cautious now and will work harder to ensure local participation, he said.

?I?m salivating over those tenant buildouts. I could do them in my sleep,? said Nick Mona, president of Mona Construction in Annapolis. ?There?s pieces here for everybody.?

But Ralph Ifeagwu of Apex Petroleum of Upper Marlboro was skeptical about the lack of minority business requirements.

?There?s a possibility not a single minority business in this room will get any business,? he said.

He referred to the National Children?s Museum scheduled to open in National Harbor in the spring of 2013. That project also started with no requirement and then adopted a 30 percent minority business participation goal.

?Without that goal, my inclination is to believe this is a waste of time,? Ifeagwu said.

Joy Anderson, president of JRA & Associates Contracting in Clinton, said she hopes her previous work on National Harbor projects such as Periwinkle will give her an edge in the contracting process.

?Peterson seems to push contracts toward minorities,? she said.

Bahrain housing project has opportunities for Philippine contractors - Global Nation

By Tina G. Santos
Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines—Filipino contractors may get opportunities to work on Bahrain’s social housing project if talks between Philippine and Bahraini officials are fruitful, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Saturday.

The project was taken up by Philippine Ambassador to Bahrain Ma. Corazon Bahjin during a courtesy call on Bahrain Housing Minister Basim Yacoub Al Hamer in Manama last February 16, the DFA said in a press statement.

The Bahraini government plans to build 4,100 housing units in various places in the country for its citizens. The project, a top priority of the Bahraini government, was awarded to Naseej, a major real estate developer in the Middle East, and is expected to be completed in three years.

The Philippine envoy discussed with the Bahraini housing official the matter of “how Filipino contractors could participate in the housing projects and possibly be part of the consortium,” the DFA said.

“She emphasized that the Philippines boasts of highly qualified real estate developers and construction companies, architectural and engineering service providers that could partner with Bahraini companies in exploring business and investment opportunities in the real estate development and construction projects,” it added.

In return, Bahrain’s housing minister “expressed gratitude for the embassy officials’ visit and looks forward for a more active engagement in the near future,” according to the DFA.

Bahjin also invited the minister to visit the Philippines and see for himself the development of social housing projects in the country, including the Gawad Kalinga.
