Jim ,
When each of us die we will either meet God as a friend or foe. Because each of us are at birth separated from God by sin, it is necessary for each of us to be covered if you will by God’s atonement available through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. God offered His only Son as a free gift of atonement for each of us so that we are able to “dwell” in the presence of a holy God through His Son for eternity. To choose to deny that gift of atonement is to choose eternal separation from God.
Each of us have a choice. I care for each of you or I would not have sent you that message. It is not about religion either. Salvation is about relationship with a holy God through His Son. Jesus bridges the gap between a holy God and a sinful man. Parking myself in a garage no more makes me a car than sitting in a church pew each Sunday makes me a Christian. It is a matter of a circumcised heart.God looks at the heart. The natural man has a stony heart alienated from the desire to fellowship with God. When God’s Spirit breathes new life into an individual by the “blood” of Christ, the natural man dies and is born again to the things of God. I would like to see my family in heaven.

The first plan for a 47-acre plot of land at Coors Boulevard and Saint Josephs Drive NW, near the master-planned Oxbow Community, was for 900 apartment units on 30 acres and commercial development on the rest.
But Oxbow’s developer, Sunland Development Group, Jim Rogers, had all the land rezoned commercial. The plan now is for 30 acres of retail and 17 acres of office space. Units in the 500,000-square-foot complex, called Oxbow Town Center, will be available for sale, and it will take up to four years to build.
Westside neighborhood associations are happier with the revised plan, says Sunland Chief Manager
Jim Rogers, because they want more new retail development and less new housing.
“There was concern that that many … apartments would be too much for that area,” says Joe Valles, an Albuquerque dentist and executive committee member of the West Side Coalition of Neighborhood Associations. “One of the selling points of this project is the fact that Mr. Jim Rogers was willing to present his development and concepts to anyone and everyone who wanted to listen. He promised to be outright about everything, and that’s how it turned out.”
Ground was broken in 1997 on the 600-home, 180-acre complex of six gated housing divisions that make up the Oxbow Community, whose center is St. Pius X High School.
Jim Rogers says the Archdiocese of Santa Fe sold him part of the Oxbow land after he and John Sedberry & Associates helped broker the long-term ground lease for Hunt Development’s ABQ Uptown retail center on the former site of the Catholic high school. The home builders were Charter Building & Development Corp. and Scott Patrick Homes. The project was completed in 2004, and is 100 percent sold, Jim Rogers says. The most expensive home went for $3 million.
There is interest in retail space at the Town Center from Bed, Bath & Beyond, Flying Star and several banks. Some national companies are considering office space there, Jim Rogers says.
Sunland principals Jim Rogers and Jeff Jesionowski plan an outdoor mall concept similar to ABQ Uptown, with a roundabout and Santa Barbara/Mission-style architecture by George Rainhart Architects & Associates, in keeping with the style of most of the community’s homes.
Sedberry & Associates will be the retail broker. Scott Throckmorton of Argus Investment Realty will represent the office portion. A builder has not been chosen.
Ground will be broken after the first of the year, Jim Rogers says. He says completion of the project will create a true mixed-use development, with walking trails connecting housing additions to the Town Center.
Valles fought against the West Bluff commercial center, home to big box retailers like Home Depot and a Wal-Mart Supercenter. He was concerned about the traffic impact on the neighborhood in the Coors/I-40 corridor, but says the Oxbow Town Center will not contribute significantly to congestion.
“That area is yearning for an upscale development where we don’t have to drive to other places to do our shopping,” Valles says. “If Mr. Jim Rogers will build the type of development he promised and we all expect, in the long run it’ll save a lot of long-distance vehicle trips. It’s far enough removed from the I-25 interchange that the traffic will be workable.
“The commitment from Mr. Jim Rogers is that it’s going to be a development that the Westside can be proud of, and based on his Oxbow Community, we think he can meet that.”
Jim Rogers and Scott Throckmorton have broken ground on two other developments as well, including Sun Valley Commercial Center at Osuna Road and Edith Boulevard NE. They plan to start selling commercial condos there next spring.

Albuquerque Journal, N.M., Commercial Real Estate Column:
Second Phase of Sun Valley Work to Start
(Albuquerque Journal (NM) (KRT) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Jan. 21–Construction is scheduled to begin next month on the first two buildings of five planned in the second phase of Sun Valley Commercial Center on Osuna NE.
Sun Valley’s second phase is a speculative office condominium project, although Jim Rogers of Albuquerque-based Sunland Development said there are commitments from potential buyers for some of the space.
The two one-story buildings will each be 5,300 square feet and set back from Osuna, west of the existing office buildings near the corner with Edith. They should be ready as shell or unfinished space by August, Jim Rogers said.
Three slightly larger one-story buildings, ranging from about 7,650 to 8,320 square feet in size, are planned next to Osuna. The $8 million second phase will have a total of 34,209 square feet of office condos when completed.
Sunland’s Jim Rogers and partner Jeff Jesionowski bought the roughly 3.5 acres from the original developers of Sun Valley, which was started in 1999 on the site of the former Treeland Nursery.
Brothers Bob, Gary and Mackie Kitts developed the initial phase in the northern New Mexico architectural style, preserving the large trees and quaint courtyard from the site’s nursery days.
Phase two will continue the architectural style. “You wouldn’t want to do anything else,” Jim Rogers said.
Acknowledging demand for office condos may be softening in the broader market, Jim Rogers described Sun Valley as a niche product geared to business owners from the North Valley.
“We think it’s a good little market for people who live in that area who need access to the highway (Interstate 25), to Downtown, to the Journal Center,” he said.
The buildings are being marketed by Stacey Nenninger and Scott Throckmorton of Argus Investment Realty at an asking price of $205 a square foot for unfinished space.
The buildings can be divided into smaller condo spaces, said Scott Throckmorton, explaining, “We’ll go down under 2,000 (square feet) once we’re trying to top off a building.”
Sunland Development is best known for developing the Oxbow residential subdivisions that surround St. Pius X High School.
Five-story ‘tower’ planned
Rio Rancho and the West Side in general are on deck to see what could be described as the area’s first mid-rise building.
Presbyterian Healthcare Services has preliminary plans for a five-story “tower” for inpatient care at its proposed Rio Rancho hospital.
There are at least a couple four-story buildings on the west side of the Rio Grande, such as the AMREP building in Rio Rancho and Ladera Senior Housing across the street from Albuquerque’s Ladera Golf Course.
But there’s no five-story buildings. Sperry Van Ness’ Pat Frerkes and West Wood Realty’s Roderick Smith couldn’t think of any either.
Presbyterian’s planned hospital will have about 330,000 square feet on a 50-acre site at Unser and Westside Boulevard, said spokeswoman Elizabeth Brophy.
The hospital has not been named yet and the design hasn’t progressed to the point of an architect’s rendering or image being available yet.
Construction is expected to begin later this year, with completion in 2010.
A three- to four-story physician’s office building with 120,000 square feet is planned next to the hospital in Rio Rancho, Brophy said.

Bernalillo will soon grow by 800 homes: New development will keep historic town’s integrity

By Gary Herron/Observer staff writer
No, that isn’t River’s Edge IV you’ve seen getting bladed by huge graders as you drive on NM 528.
In fact, it isn’t even a part of Rio Rancho, which is a blessing of sorts for Rio Rancho Public Schools, already expecting an increase of some 1,000 students when the 2005-06 school year starts.
The new 168-acre Santiago Community formally broke ground Friday morning.
Project manager Steve Hernandez said he expects the first model homes to be completed this summer, and the eventual 780-home buildout to be complete in about three years.
There’s more, starting with the gorgeous views of the bosque and Sandias, with homes being built to afford their owners views of the landscape to the east, rather than the traffic and new courthouse to the west.
Jim Rogers, project manager of Intrepid Development, said a 90-acre site just north of the new community, located within the town limits of Bernalillo, could someday have an indoor mall, an open-air mall, and maybe an anchor store or two – “Wal-Mart is one of the possibilities,” Rogers said, as are Target and Kohl’s. All that is committed to being located on the commercial plot is a substation for the Bernalillo Police Department, which will be close to the Sandoval County Detention Center.
Santiago Community will have three villages within its boundaries. Rogers said he envisions a walking bridge over the Rio Grande, leading into Bernalillo – which once was home to thousands of dairy cows at Price’s Dairy. Price’s was in operation from 1930-98, closing when owner Dudley Price realized the rapidly approaching residential development wasn’t compatible with a dairy operation. Price has worked closely with Rogers on Santiago Community.
“We haven’t spared any expense on the landscaping,” Hernandez said. “This will be more of a landmark, with plenty of bosque access via trails.”
There will be three subdivisions within Santiago Community, with four acres of open space: Two small fenced-off sections on opposite ends of the southern boundary are the sites of Santiago Pueblo, inhabited sometimes in the 1300s to the 1600s.
‘Alegria’ will be a 375-home (all single story) ‘active adult’ gated community on the eastern portion of the development with a clubhouse, pool and fitness center. “Alegria will be the area’s first true active adult community for people 55 and over; Bernalillo is such a quaint, historic town with great location between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, (with) fabulous views and a relaxed lifestyle that we know people will find the development attractive,” said Ashley Cook, vice president of marketing for Centex Homes, which is building Alegria.
Stillbrooke Homes is planning to build 154 single-family homes in Southwester, Spanish and ‘Cottage’ styles from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. These homes, on the southwestern area and along NM 528 of Santiago Community, will have ‘carriageway access,’ meaning from an alleyway of sorts at the homes’ rears. The front of the homes will be a long fenceless greenbelt.
Builders Investment Co. will develop about 250 homes on the remaining third of the development, with Wallen Builders, Tiffany Homes and other area builders constructing starter to mid-level homes on 45-, 50- and 60-foot lots.
Rogers said a new traffic signal, paid for by Bernalillo and maintained by Rio Rancho, will be erected at the intersection of Santiago Boulevard and NM 528.
“Bernalillo has been terrific to deal with,” Rogers said. “We want it to be upscale, comparable to the Oxbow (subdivision north of I-40 and east of St. Pius X High School).”

Groundbreaking for Bernalillo’s largest development set for April 8
Intrepid Development will celebrate commencement of work at a groundbreaking ceremony for its new master planned residential project, Santiago Community, on Friday, April 8, at 10:00 a.m. This largest development in Bernalillo’s history will encompass 780 homes on 168 acres of the former Price’s Valley Gold Dairies property east of NM 528 and south of NM 550. Four of the acres, an area identified as part of the Santiago Pueblo and a campsite for Francisco Vásquez de Coronado and his men, will be donated to The Archaeological Conservancy to be set aside as open space.
Three home builders, Centex Homes, Stillbrooke Homes, and Builders Investment Company, will construct the single-family homes in three discrete but integrated villages.
Scheduled to speak at the groundbreaking ceremony are Bernalillo Mayor Charles Aguilar, Jim Rogers of Intrepid Development, Jim Walker of The Archaeological Conservancy, and Dudley Price, former owner of the Price Valley Gold Dairies property.
The impact of Santiago Community on Bernalillo will be profound. Maria Rinaldi, Bernalillo’s community development director, commented that “in 2004, we issued a hundred housing permits, and we’re on track for two hundred in 2005, so the almost eight hundred homes in this development will have the potential for increasing not only the number of households but retail sales, and it will a give a boost to the labor force that will allow for other economic development.”
Centex Homes will construct Alegria, an active adult (fifty-five and over) gated community with plans for 375 single-story homes, a clubhouse with pool and fitness center, and walking trails that connect to the bosque. Intrepid Development is installing the backbone infrastructure for the site, including laying out lots, sewer and water lines, electrical access, and drainage. The second builder, Stillbrooke Homes, is planning 154 single-family units in three elevations: Southwestern, Spanish, and Cottage, ranging from fifteen hundred two three thousand square feet. Builders Investment Company, itself a local land developer that buys and develops lots and resells them to other builders, will develop approximately 250 homes on the remaining third of the development with Wallen Builders and Tiffany Homes, among others, for starter to mid-level homes on forty-five-, fifty-, and sixty-foot lots.
Donating the four acres of open space was an important part of the development of the property, says Jim Walker of The Archaeological Conservancy. The Santiago Pueblo was occupied from 1300s to 1600s, with some scholars arguing that it was occupied past the notorious Pueblo Revolt (1680) and into the early 1700s, as indicated by trash found in some of the pueblo’s rooms. The majority of the site was heavily impacted by a gravel-pit operation prior to its use as a dairy. Various excavation efforts since the 1930s by the Museum of New Mexico, the School of American Research, and the University of New Mexico have shed some light on Santiago’s history.
Jim Walker explained that “TAC first became involved in the properties in the early 1990s, first with Mr. Price and then eventually with Jeff Jesionowski and Jim Rogers. It is important to protect and preserve both the campsite and the pueblo because of their significance as a very early first contact between the conquistadors and Pueblo communities. The builders and developers are doing a great service to the community by preserving this heritage, and it’s very important to continue to view these sites as ‘living histories’ for both the Spanish and Pueblo populations that can trace histories back to these communities. The modern subdivision will benefit from these open-space areas, because preservation in place brings added value and a real sense of connection to previous inhabitants.”
