Both Terry and I recently hit the road to promote Pangea’s real estate development efforts in the St. Louis Metro East market.  Terry was in Chicago to attend the recent Building Green Chicago Conference & Expo.  Over 300 real estate, construction, design, education, government and other professionals committed to sustainable initiatives were in attendance from the city and the private sector to discuss the state of green design in Chicago.  

I spent time in our great state’s capitol of Springfield meeting with representatives from DCEO (the IL Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity), the state legislature and other various individuals involved in the St. Louis Metro East effort to craft a solution to the looming implementation of the new Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps.  U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and U.S. Representative Jerry Costello are working hard to address this issue and formulate a way to protect those affected while addressing FEMA’s concerns.  Pangea Development believes in responsible, low-impact development in all areas and is encouraged by the tremendous local efforts of many civic and business leaders who have taken a proactive role to ensure that the voices of those in the public and private sector are heard and considered.  While in the capitol I also spent some quality time drumming up support for Pangea’s latest endeavor, The Estates at Palmer Creek, and bringing our leaders and reps up to date on Pangea’s efforts to create Metro East jobs while providing a quality built, amenity-rich residential development in Columbia, IL.

The Pangea Team recently spent a nice evening watching some great rinkside hockey compliments of the folks at Trumpet Builders & Land Services, LLC.  Trumpet is a world-class green builder based in the St. Louis area and one that Pangea is hoping to work with on future endeavors.  Jeff Day, Principal of Jeff Day Associates, Architecture & Planning, was also present for the night’s festivities and lively conversation about sustainable development and current St. Louis Metro East market challenges and opportunities.  It was good to be in the company of such talent and the Blue’s brought home a winner on top of it.  Thanks again to Paul, Jeff and Terry.

Happy 2010.  Spring is almost upon us in the Midwest and Pangea is looking forward to a great year.  Our Columbia, IL project, the Estates at Palmer Creek, is picking up steam rapidly and the market forecasts are encouraging.  It’s been a long winter and the Pangea Team is ready to move some dirt!!!  Stay tuned…..

Our architect and planner for Pangea, Sarah Nurmela, visited recently from her home base in Oakland, CA.  It was great to have her in the St.Louis office and be able to spend a day together on the local St. Louis Metro East real estate development scene.  The Pangea Team toured the Rock Hill Trails development in Edwardsville, IL and afterward had a nice meet and greet with Paul Henckler, President, Trumpet Homes.  After a delightful luncheon at Pho Grand in St. Louis, the Pangea Team toured the downtown headquarters of Arcturis, a nationally acclaimed architecture, planning and interior design firm.  It was a full day of “green dreamin’” about the bright future of eco-developing, along  with some awesome  networking intro’s. Truly Pangeaotic!!!!

Fresh from investment development trips to both the East and West Coast, the Pangea Team is heading out to the ballpark today to see the St. Louis Cardinals battle it out with the Milwaukee Brewers.  It is sure to be a day of relaxing, networking, and strategizing about the future.   

Many thanks for all your recent comments and feedback.  It’s Pangea!!!!!!
