Microsoft to Open Stores

2009-02-15T08:45:00.000-06:00

Microsoft to open own retail stores
StoryDiscussionFont Size:Default font sizeLarger font sizeBy JESSICA MINTZ | Sunday, February 15, 2009 | (No comments posted.)

SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. on Thursday announced plans to open its own stores despite the economic downturn that has left many retailers struggling.

The company hired David Porter, a 25-year veteran of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., as its corporate vice president of retail stores. Porter was head of worldwide product distribution at DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. since 2007.

Porter, who is set to start work on Tuesday, is charged with improving the PC-buying experience. The company said his first task will be to set the timing, locations and design of Microsoft-branded retail stores, which will sell computers installed with Microsoft software as well as other company products.

Microsoft has been working to revive the image of its ubiquitous Windows operating system, starting with a $300 million advertising campaign that began last fall. Vista, the most recent version of the software, was widely criticized for being slow, requiring new and pricer hardware, and not working with devices like printers and scanners. Vista has also been the subject of a series of snarky television ads from Apple Inc.

At the same time it launched upbeat new TV ads last fall, some of which struck right back at Apple, Microsoft posted 144 of its own employees in electronics chain stores around the world to talk with shoppers about Windows.

The "Gurus" seemed to be Microsoft's answer to Apple's in-store "Genius Bar." With its newly announced retail store intentions, the Redmond-based software maker is taking yet another page from Apple's play book. Apple credits its stores, concentrated mostly in the U.S., for helping boost its profile and draw new customers.

But Microsoft's timing may be off. The U.S. recession has socked the retail sector, and purveyors of electronics have been hit hard. Circuit City Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November and said in January it would liquidate its 567 U.S. stores, cutting more than 34,000 jobs. Best Buy Inc. laid off thousands of corporate employees in December and reported same-store sales _ a key measure of retail health _ sank 6.5 percent.

Even Apple, whose iPods, iMacs and iPhones draw brand-conscious customers willing to spend more for design, was hit in the holiday quarter by the recession as average sales per store dropped to $7 million from $8.5 million in 2007.

Microsoft had no comment on the plight of Apple and the big-box stores, but said its own retail stores can help shoppers make smarter decisions about spending money on technology.

The company had set up a concept store at its headquarters with displays of Windows computers, Xbox 360 consoles and games and other items. But the company said it's meant to help stores like Best Buy see new merchandising ideas in action, and is not a prototype for stand-alone retail stores.

Cedar Lake dredging fund earns approval

2008-03-08T08:14:00.001-06:00

A state oversight panel has given final approval for $2 million to help dredge Cedar Lake.

The funds were included in the state budget legislators approved last year, but the project needed a final nod from the State Budget Committee. The five-member panel -- four lawmakers and the governor's budget director -- unanimously approved the project Monday.

Cedar Lake Town Manager Joan Boyer told the committee the $2 million would be used to acquire land to deposit the materials scraped from the bottom of the lake. Once the project is complete, the land will be capped and converted to a large park.

"Cedar Lake does not have a large park," Boyer said. "We just have little pocket parks."

The town is expected to contribute $2.5 million to the dredging project. Combined with the state money, those funds are expected to leverage $8.5 million in federal dollars.

State Budget Committee documents describe the project as an aquatic ecosystem restoration that will "reduce pollutants entering Cedar Creek and downstream communities and support economic growth in Northwest Indiana."

Lake County housing permits buck national trend

2008-02-20T08:01:00.002-06:00

Story BY SUSAN ERLER
serler@nwitimes.com| Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Townhomes being built this year in Crown Point's Ellendale Farm subdivision are part of the latest project by the family-run development firm Fleming Realty.

The company will put up 28 townhome units in its Ellendale Farm addition, while simultaneously constructing New Town West, a combination residential and retail building in the city's downtown.

A major player in the city's development boom of recent years, the company sees no reason to stop now.

"We would not be proceeding with things if we did not see the economy being viable," said Ryan Fleming, who operates Fleming Realty with his father, Tom.

Permits for 172 new single-family homes in Crown Point were pulled in 2007. The year failed to scale the heights of the 2003 to 2005 building boom in the city, but ranked among its top 10 years for home construction over six decades.

"You have to take it in perspective," Ryan Fleming said. "Things don't go up forever, but they haven't come crashing down."

Across Lake County, builders planned nearly 1,235 new single-family homes last year, the majority in south county communities like St. John, Winfield and Cedar Lake.

Close to 2,000 new housing units, from apartments and condos to show-stopper mansions, had been entered onto planning books or were built in Cedar Lake over the past decade, most in the last few years.

Countywide, there were about 425 fewer single-family home starts last year compared to 2006, but the slide was less severe than in many parts of the nation and fell short of the nation's 30 percent decline.

"In residential construction, our area continues to outpace what's happening across the nation," said Todd Olthof, whose family-run Olthof Homes has projects in the Hamilton Square and Covington subdivisions in Crown Point, as well as in other parts of the region.

Migration from across the Illinois state line continues to drive the market, Olthof said, with buyers attracted by relatively lower taxes, as well as the lifestyle and amenities the region offers, Olthof said.

"Many buyers find out their friends have moved here and they come here to join them," Olthof said.

Northwest Indiana's housing market for the most part bucked a nationwide trend last year by holding onto housing values.

In July, the median selling price of a home in the region stood at $154,900, a 7.1 percent climb from $144,575 the previous year.

"Our housing values have stayed stable," said Peter Novak, executive director of the Greater Northwest Indiana Association of Realtors.

The housing boom has attracted retail and commercial development to Lake County, from the massive Cabela's outdoor sporting goods store on the north end of U.S. 41 in Hammond to a pair of lifestyle-designed shopping centers farther south on U.S. 41 in Schererville.

Where new rooftops have popped up, restaurants, grocers and other retailers have followed, building new locations across the county, including more than a dozen new bank branches.

The value of permits for commercial and industrial construction totaled an estimated $120 million last year in Crown Point alone, according to the city's planning department.

Jack Phair, whose Holladay Properties partnered with Purdue University to developed Ameriplex at the Crossroads in Merrillville, said his company sees a strong future for the region.

The Crossroads complex, home to a Purdue University technology park, is two years into a five-year build-out.

"We think what's going to happen there is going to be spectacular," Phair said.

Combined with the company's other development in Porter County, including Ameriplex at the Port and a partnership with Memorial Hospital Systems in Valparaiso, "it has renewed our enthusiasm, energized our firm to continue our investments in Northwest Indiana," Phair said
