Park Place building toward January open

The Park Place development on the Avenue of the Fountains is running about a month behind schedule from its original timeline at the beginning of construction about a year ago.
Bart Shea, owner of N-Shea Group, the contractor for the project, said a major factor in the delay is a shortage of construction manpower.
“This is a nationwide issue, not just here,” Shea said. “[Arizona] has lost about 35 percent of its workers to Texas and Florida for rebuilding after the hurricanes.
“[Workers] can make more money there.”
Shea said builders in Arizona faced a worse situation in 2009 when they lost about 60 percent of the labor force.
“We are probably doing better than most,” Shea said. “I have a 35-year history in the area and have developed good connections.”
Shea said they expect to have the first residential tenants move into the development in January.
