Source: Richmond Times-Dispatch, Va.迷你倉Sept. 18--Richmond Times-DispatchInterest from potential tenants in the planned Gateway Plaza office tower has been so strong that the Chicago-based developer has increased the size of the building.Gateway Plaza now will be an 18-story office tower-two stones taller than initially planned -- in the heart of Richmond's financial district."We've had a lot of interest," said Bob Clark, chairman and chief executive officer of Chicago-based Clayco Inc., a development and construction firm that builds more than 2 million square feet of space annually.The McGuireWoods law firm and its consulting business are the primary tenants in the building, moving a block from its current space in the James Center.Work has begun on the $110 million project on the site of a former parking lot fronting Canal Street between Eighth and Ninth streets. A formal groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday.Construction crews are installing the building's drilled caisson foundation support system to be followed by work in the near future that includes constructing the concrete frame structure for the first six levels.The top piece of steel will be set by July 2014, the developer said. The building will be substantially complete by the end of 2014, and McGuireWoods, with its more than 630 attorneys, staff and consultants, is slated to move in by the summer of 2015, Clayco said.The former Eighth Street Connector road has closed.

Boone Pickens at $950 million, Graham Weston of Rackspace Hosting Inc. at $920 million and Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder at $1.2 billion.A total of 48 women made the list, including Hyatt Hotels heir Jennifer Pritzker at No. 327. Formerly known as James Pritzker, she is the list's first transgender member.According to Forbes, the 400 people on the annual list posted a combined net worth of $2 trillion, up from $1.7 trillion a year ago. That marks their highest combined value ever.Meanwhile, the average net worth of the list's members rose to $5 billion, also the highest ever, up from $4.2 billion in 2012. Net worth grew for 314 members and fell for 30, Forbes said.Some economists have speculated that the incomes of the wealthy might have surged in the past year because they cashed in stock holdings to avoid higher capital gains taxes that went into effect in January.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Richmond Times-Dispatch (Richmond, Va.)
