JANESVILLE | A new medical clinic may be the next step for good things yet to come in Janesville.
Waverly Health Center of Waverly and Lockard Cos. of Cedar Falls will break ground at 8:15 a.m. Monday on a new 3,400 square foot medical clinic, believed to be the first primary care facility of its size in Janesville.
Located next to a new State Bank branch building which opened there in December, the clinic is part of a larger 25-acre site that could be the scene of additional commercial and residential development in Janesville, which skirts the Bremer and Black hawk county lines between Cedar Falls and Waverly on U.S. Highway 218.
Hap Bagget assembles a a group of partners bent on changing the face of southeast Fort Worth.
Some boys never get over playing in the dirt. Happy Baggett is one. It’s just that the amount of dirt he’s playing with these days is measured in acres. Lots of acres. He’s the driving force behind Renaissance Square, a massive development at Berry Street and U.S. Highway 287 that is bringing shopping, health care and housing to one of the most undeserved and poorest areas of Fort Worth.
It started as a business deal, and while it is still that, it has morphed into a project bringing together many different interests in Fort Worth, in Texas and from across the country that is remaking the face and fabric of Southeast Fort Worth.
Investors Mark and Shauna Trieb were vacationing in Italy in 2006 when they decided to participate in the deal without ever seeing the land. They initially expected to hold the land for perhaps three years and make a killing on the investment. “That’s what our intention was,” Mark Trieb said. “Our intention changed. Our intention now is to create a sort of a master planned community in the inner city of Southeast Fort Worth that will bring together families and kids in an environment that is supported by a number of diff rent healthy attributes, and cradle-to-college education.”

HARLINGEN — Crews have been at work at the site of the former Sun Valley Motor Hotel on 77 Sunshine Strip, demolishing the remaining buildings that also housed a bar and grill, making way for development of what will be known as Sun Valley Square, public records show.
The developers, Lockard Integrated Real Estate Solutions’ Lockard Asset Managers LLC and Lockard Harlingen Holdings LLC, based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, purchased the properties including the motor hotel in October and March this year, according to records.
The developers say that plans call for development of Sun Valley Square, which will include a retail/medical tenant that would occupy a 41,800-square-foot building. The properties that the developers own are comprised of four lots. Lot 2, consisting of 2.57 acres of land already is under contract. Three separate, but adjacent parcels are available. Lot 1 is comprised of 3.96 acres, while lots 3 and 4 are each under an acre, according to the firm’s website.
