Kingfish...what type of 'wiring' is in question?

Is this 'wiring' for electrical systems or 'cabling' for communications systems (i.e. ethernet, phones, coaxial, security)??

I haven't seen that clarified anywhere?

I reas somewhere that it was for cabling as you suggested. back when Belk moved in there was no internet ;-)

Just WIFI it......

Visions of Earnestine. One Ringy Dingy.....

This space is being changed from being just open floor area to offices and offices need power for equipment.

Here we go again. ANOTHER Watkins project where we find the cart before the horse. By now it should be a foregone conclusion that if it is a Watkins project it will be a project that undoubtedly has financial problems and be late, late and then late.

Note to Meridian area readers. When you read stuff like this:

Though there is no definite completion date, Watkins said work on the building is “50 percent complete” and that he expects the building to be ready “sometime this summer … before the fall.”

Keep in mind that with a Watkins project you won't see the project completed until 2013 or 2014. NOTHING Watkins works on get completed as promised on time.

12:10; there is not ten square feet in that old mall that didn't already have power supplied to it.

Another con-job by "The Con-man"!!!Its about time Watkins paid his OWN bills!

Kingfish, you wrote: "I spoke to several commercial realtors and developers yesterday about this problem and they all said the exact same thing: wiring such as what is needed for this project is always paid for by the tenant, especially in older buildings." Having being in the commercial real estate business for almost 30 years, I can tell you this isn't true. All tenant improvement items are negotiable, and if the lease didn't address the particular items, problems would have arisen. While a few items may be "customary" for one party or the other to provide, all lease transactions stand alone, and nothing is required without being in writing.

That being said, I didn't take the time to read the specifics, but the language that controls the tenant improvements in this lease should be found in Exhibits "C" and "E." If no reference is made in those sections, there's going to be an argument between the parties. In such a case, the tenant will often times be left with the expense of making any improvements that were not agreed to at the time of lease execution.

Funny thing is, Watkins seems to be able to remodel, renovate and redecorate his own home with no money problems! Spent thousands! Wow! Wonder why no such issues there! Lol! Welcome to another fleece!
