At the end of last year, the Cafe Pierre in the Pierre hotel was closed for renovation, ending the two-decade engagement of its longtime musical fixture, Kathleen Landis.
But as the renovation ended, she continued blogging, and her topics turned from the choice of ranges to a wide range of emotions.
In reviewing the condo's financial statement, I noticed that the amount earmarked for the renovation ended up being less than what was originally anticipated.
What's new is Mr. Taborn's particular approach, which has opened up yet another corridor in jazz's solo-piano wing, where the renovation never ends.
Unfortunately, others in the building were moving in as well, and at the point Ms. Williams and her husband began their renovation, which ended up costing about $500,000 (at least 20percentt more than they had budgeted), so did two other new owners.
Then the hotel underwent a two-year renovation that ended in 1994.
The renovation project ended in 1997; Leiken updated the building's facade and opened a nightclub and sports bar on the lower level.
Well, you know how it goes with renovations — we ended up doing a project a year for the next 15 years.
Renovations will end up over-capitalizing on the property given the area you live in and the current market values.
It's an understatement to say it's a high-end renovation.
