This three-story art-deco building was constructed in 1959 by Lewis Bainbridge who had the foresight to see the need for SI office space.  When he chose the colors, primarily yellow with russet details and gray cement, he did not know that the popular Shoppolis City building would end up being called the "yellow building."  It's prime location in the city and its popularity make the business a desireable one.  The ownership of the building remains in the Bainbridge family who still reside on one of our outer islands, Loveladies, but the management of the site is always leased out.  If this is your idea of a wonderful fun-lease, we agree.

Castle Books & Records

9 Ledgeview, The Ledges, West Island, SI

HRE Real Estate, Crosstrees Office Complex

The Cannon Building, 30 Crosstrees, The Gorge, East Island, SI

x

HRE Real Estate has just built a new building on their old location..  Their former office in East Point, is available for lease in order to maintain current client loads.  HRE arranges almost all of the private home transactions on SI, but will, most likely, have to share with other firms when the other islands are opened. The walls of the old Bombay estate, previously occupying the lot just off Fishermen Cove, were retained as well as the well-known twin-ball fountains and tree-lined gardens.  The current, and youngest Eddings, Rodney Ellis, specified the building which was built by our own Island builders, Crayton Long Builders, with excavation support provided by Grace Heavy Equipment.  When the building was completed, a 13-Island Plan, was revealed on a huge flat display, under glass, in the lobby.  Rod showed all those who attended the opening, in clear terms, how our SI complex will grow in harmony with our natural environment over the next ten years.  Populating the remaining eleven islands with businesses and their staffs (owners and operators), as well as, providing for all the logistical support and required infrastructure, will be quite a task.  All business and residents' representatives were dutifully impressed.  The issue of too many businesses of the same type was addressed with a statute to restrict all new businesses to firms representing an area of the world economy not currently in place on any of the Islands.  Because of the nature of the Islands, no one "owns" their land; they lease or rent it.  Some people might equate this to a land tax of sorts, but we prefer to think that we each rent/lease our individual land from our collective ownership of all the land.  There are quite a few very desirable private home sites available, so, if you choose to lease this remote office, there will be plenty of work to do.
