» (E) Malkovich zainteresiran za Vilu kod Dubrovnika
By Nenad N. Bach | Published 02/16/2004 | Community | Unrated

 

MALKOVICH KUPUJE VILU U TRSTENOM


Vlastima Bosne i Hercegovine stigla je ponuda poznatog americkog glumca hrvatskog podrijetla Johna Malkovicha koji je preko pisma namjere Vijece ministara BiH obavijestio o želji za kupnjom nekretnine, zemljišta i kuce, koja se nalazi u Trstenom kod Dubrovnika, dakle na teritoriju Republike Hrvatske. Vijece ministara BiH razmotrilo je navedeno pismo i zadužilo Ministarstvo financija i trezora BiH da Vijecu ministara BiH dostavi mišljenje o Malkovichevoj ponudi.
Kako Slobodna Dalmacija saznaje, predmet Malkovicheva interesa je Villa Aurora, jedan od ljepših ljetnikovaca u Trstenom. Pravo korištenja njome ima pak vlada Bosne i Hercegovine i upravo je to jedan od razloga zbog kojeg se ova gradevina nalazi u derutnom stanju i propada.
Naime, i ta vila je predmet sukcesije i pregovora o raspodjeli imovine medu bivšim jugoslavenskim republikama što traje vec godinama. Villa Aurora smještena je ispod Arboretuma u Trstenom u sjeni cempresa i bogate mediteranske vegetacije uz more, s pogledom na otoke Lopud i Šipan, a ispred vile nalazi se veliki trstenski mul.
To kameno zdanje izgradeno je pocetkom prošloga stoljeca, a do pocetka devedesetih godina služilo je kao odmaralište ondašnjeg Izvršnog vijeca Bosne i Hercegovine. Na citavom imanju uz veliki vrt nalazi se i nekoliko popratnih kucica-apartmana, a vila ima i svoju vlastitu odvojenu plažu.
Iako je nekoliko godina prije rata interijer vile obnovljen, tijekom okupacije ona je opljackana i razrušena, a jednim dijelom i zapaljena. Za njezinu kupnju i obnovu, doznajemo, bilo je prilicno interesenata, a svojedobno je bila zainteresirana i Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti.

» (H) "City of Dubrovnik" zaplovio iz Tajlanda

HRVATSKA ZASTAVA ZA “CITY OF DUBROVNIK”


Na prigodnoj pomorskoj svecanosti u ponedjeljak su u tajlandskoj luci Ko Sichang pomorci Atlantske plovidbe, predvodeni kap. Hrvojem Hurom, jednim od najmladih dubrovackih zapovjednika, preuzeli svoj najveci brod. Hrvatska je zastava podignuta na krmi devet godina staroga broda za prijevoz sipkih tereta “Silvretta” nosivosti 75.460 tona, kupljenog u studenome 2003. od vodece švicarske brodarske tvrtke Suisse-Atlantique iz Lausanne, a koji od sada nosi ime “City of Dubrovnik”.

Prinova placena 18,7 milijuna dolara svojevrsna je zamjena istoimenom brodu koji su prije godinu dana Dubrovcani prodali Grcima. Kako se istice u pomorskim krugovima, Atlantska plovidba je napravila izvrstan posao jer vec danas “City of Dubrovnik” na tržištu vrijedi 27 milijuna dolara.
Panamax “Silvretta” zapravo je blizanac broda “Romandie”, današnje “Petke”, koji je Atlantska plovidba kupila od Švicaraca 2001. godine. Rijec je o iznimno kvalitetnim brodovima izgradenima u prestižnom danskom brodogradilištu Burmeister&Wain u Kopenhagenu, a zanimljivo je da su oba broda krštena istoga dana, 12.rujna 1994. godine. “Petka” je zaplovila potkraj te godine, a “City of Dubrovnik” isporucen je 10. sijecnja 1995. godine. Dug je 225 i širok 32,2 metra, a zavidnom brzinom od 14,5 cvorova pokrece ga dizelski stroj Sulzer od 10.812 kilovata izraden u Koreji.
Ukupna nosivost brodovlja Atlantske plovidbe sada je dosegnula 758.680 tona, a vrijedno je istaknuti da svi dubrovacki brodovi plove pod hrvatskom zastavom, što je izuzetak medu vecim jadranskim brodarima.

Croatian Village in Dallas

The following appeared in the Dallas Business Journal. John Kraljic

At the harbor
Developer uses Croatian village as model for new McKinney project
Christine Perez
Senior Writer
Developer Jeffory Blackard has snapped up 44 acres in the heart of
Stonebridge Ranch with plans to create a European-style, mixed-use
project.

Dubbed Harbor Market Village, the $100 million complex will be modeled
after the small Croatian town of Supetar on the Adriatic island of Brac.

The land deal closed Jan. 30, with Blackard and his partners paying an
undisclosed sum to the seller, Newland Communities. About one-third of
the property, which sits at the southeast corner of Virginia Parkway and
Stonebridge Drive, borders a 50-acre lake.

Blackard, president of Blackard Group Inc., said Harbor Market Village
calls for 79 villas, many of which will front the water, and about 300
condominiums or "flats," situated above lakeside retail and office
space.

A trio of Dallas companies is working on the project: HKS Inc. did the
masterplan, architect Warren Wilke is designing the first phase of
villas and Huitt-Zollars is serving as engineer. First United Bank &
Trust of McKinney is providing financing.

Blackard, 46, has developed more than 10,000 single-family lots in
Texas. Five years ago, he met a restaurant owner from Croatia and
eventually was persuaded by the country's ambassador to the United
States to take a look at real estate opportunities there.

"When people think of Croatia, they think of bombs, but in reality, it
has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world," Blackard said.

He and a business partner bought a portfolio that included a hotel,
airport and commercial properties along the Supetar harbor. After the
acquisition, Blackard spent months studying the village, with the goal
of replicating it in Texas.

"People want to live in the kind of villages they see in Europe," he
said. "Once developers see how the village turns out, it will become the
new trend across America, and won't that be nice," he said.

David Radman, partner with Blackard in Harbor Market, said the villas
won't be "cookie-cutter."

"Most zoning ordinances require a lot of uniformity," he said. "This
allows for variances in setbacks and other things. Having that
individuality between buildings and between product types will make it a
lot more interesting."

Construction is expected to start in September on the lake, the villas,
a bank and a private school. The villas should be ready for occupancy by
September 2005.

Brian James, McKinney's director of planning, said Blackard's project
has general support. To date, the McKinney City Council has approved
zoning for the 8-acre villa component -- a mixture of single-family
homes, duplexes and townhomes.

Ted Wilson, partner at Residential Strategies Inc., called Harbor Market
Village "a unique concept that's sure to draw a lot of attention because
of its novel, urban approach."

Blackard said he can't specifically predict how Harbor Market Village
will turn out.

"A village isn't totally planned, it just grows," he said. "Whatever
it's going to become, it becomes."

» (E) Bing Crosby's Croatian Daughter In Law
By Nenad N. Bach | Published 02/6/2004 | People | Unrated

 

Bing Crosby's Croatian Daughter In Law


The following appeared in today's Monterrey Sun and concerns Harry
Crosby, Bing Crosby's son. It notes his recent marriage to a Croatian
cancer researcher Mihaela. I am guessing that this is Mihaela Skobe,
whose work has made the press previously. Dr. Skobe is currently with
the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. John Kraljic


Bing would have liked it, son says


The special feeling never leaves, said Harry Crosby, when he comes back
to the golf gathering his father started.

And he is certain that if Bing Crosby were around today, that he would
like what is going on with the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

"Absolutely, I think he would," Crosby said Thursday after the first
round he has played in the tournament in four years.

"Dad took great care to create the right environment, with people who
care about the community," said Crosby, whose 8 a.m. starting time was
on the back side of Spyglass Hill Golf Course, far removed from the
celebrity field up the road at Poppy Hills. "He was strict about the
people who participate."

The tournament came to the Peninsula in 1947 as the Bing Crosby National
Pro-Am, the first on the PGA Tour to showcase pro golfers and
celebrities together.

Crosby, 44, a managing director for Merrill Lynch in New York, said the
evolution of the event -- from paying the winner $40,000 in 1977, the
year Bing Crosby died, to a $954,000 first prize this year -- was
inevitable.

"There was a time in the '70s that the Tour was organizing in a way like
never before," Crosby said. "We needed a sponsor. The family couldn't
underwrite it."

The backlash from the Crosby name being dropped from the tournament when
AT&T became title sponsor in 1986 still rumbles round the Peninsula a
bit. And for a time, the move to corporate sponsorship put a strain on
the family.

"Change is always a little bit painful," Crosby said.

But he has been on board with the progression since 1986, and still is,
as a member of the board of the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, which
runs the AT&T Pro-Am.

Although Crosby has not played in the event recently -- creating a void
of the Crosby name in the event he and his younger brother, Nathaniel,
have played in the past -- he has been at most events, to attend
Foundation meetings.

And while he hasn't played much golf lately -- "It's a little hard when
it's 20-below in New York" -- Crosby still shot 79 on his own Thursday.

The trip back to the Peninsula is always special to Crosby, who was
married last August. His wife, Mihaela, is a scientist from Croatia who
is working in cancer research.

"It's always a little nostalgic to be here, but I like what Peter
Ueberroth, Clint Eastwood and AT&T have done," Crosby said, noting two
of the four principal owners of the Pebble Beach Co. Eastwood is also
chairman of the Foundation board. "They have taken such pains to ensure
the tradition is still there.

"It's about the people who participate," Crosby said. "They know that.
They got it right."
