Soave Enterprises employees have been working small miracles for our U.S. military members. Miracles can assume many different forms, but the ones prepared this fall by Soave Enterprises appeared in the shape of 88 boxes. Miracle Boxes, as they are dubbed by the non-profit group Desert Angels, are care packages intended to raise the spirits of American troops serving overseas.
Desert Angels Delivering Miracle Boxes
Louise Downs, founder of the Desert Angels non-profit organization relies on the efforts of individuals and companies like Soave Enterprises in her area to fill each Miracle Box sent to the troops. She states, “People sincerely want to show their love and support, and I am very happy to help give that desire some direction. Packing Miracle Boxes is a simple way to reach out, but it does make such a BIG difference!”
Since 2001, the Michigan-based organization has been coordinating the efforts of patriotic individuals, groups and companies preparing Miracle Boxes for soldiers. The boxes are filled with a variety of needed items, as well as words of encouragement, hope, and love. Extra items are also added to share and pass out to the native people of the countries the Troops are stationed in, including “fun stuff” or school supplies to hand out to the children.
Soave Employees Enthusiastically Answer the Call
Soave Enterprises, to mark the anniversary of 9/11, requested that each corporate department donate items to fill two care packages. A seemingly small request, the call was answered with a tremendous response.
“After our request went out, the ACT Committee was overwhelmed with the response,” noted Soave HR Coordinator Kristan Williams. “Word kept coming back asking for more boxes to fill. Eventually, our generous co-workers filled 88 boxes with items ranging from granola bars, cereal and candy to letters of hope and encouragement.”
Employees generously donated so many items that more boxes were given to the departments to accommodate everything. What started out as a modest service program, became a giant team effort that everyone at Soave was eager to support.
“Our congratulations go to Jen McBurney who spearheaded the effort, the FPT corporate department and the Soave Legal Department who topped our list of donors. A special thank you also goes to Mr. Soave for underwriting the cost of shipping the Miracle Boxes
to our soldiers overseas,” stated Williams. “Soave Enterprises has embraced the Desert Angels’ mission of ‘Making a difference one box at a time.’”
Anthony Soave and Soave employees are always eager to share their appreciation with the community by working together to bring support to local programs, fundraisers, and events.
From organizing book and food drives, to hosting youth events and educational programs, to donating time and supplies when disaster strikes, Soave employees are committed to offering their time and support for those in need.

Soave Real Estate Group has set sights on fast-growing Phoenix. In partnership with SW Development Group, Anthony Soave has plans for Museum Towers, a luxury, high-rise condominium within the city’s vibrant arts district.
Located just north of downtown, between the Phoenix Museum of Art and the Library, the development will provide front-door access to the city’s light-rail line and be within walking distance of a multi-acre park.
Life at Museum Towers
Imagine, if you will, leaving your sky-high condo in the arts district of Phoenix, going down to the lobby, handing your dry cleaning to the concierge, grabbing a coffee and muffin at the gourmet grocery, and hopping on the light-rail directly in front of your building. When you come home from your 10-minute commute? Hit the spa, the outdoor pool, or just go directly to the wine bar. Life can be that easy.
“The Museum Towers concept is urban resort living,” explains Dan Roma, Vice President of Soave Real Estate Group. “Residents will experience an exceptional quality of life with many on-site services which may include such amenities as an outdoor pool, wine bar, barbeque and garden areas, and a dog running track. With the immediate accessibility of the light-rail line, commutes in and around the urban area will be minimal. Our goal is to make life easy.”
A Unique Residential Development from Soave
SW Development Group is excited about its proposed high rise condo project ideally located just north of downtown Phoenix, across from the Phoenix Museum of Art, within the arts district. Located directly on Central Avenue, Museum Towers resides on one of only 8 light-rail stations along the corridor. This unique development will feature 800,000 square feet of contemporary, urban resort living, including a host of amenities to create a lifestyle that is dynamic, yet easy. The project will feature approximately 650 units in one, two, and three bedrooms, each of which will enjoy sweeping uninterrupted views.
Phoenix is an ideal city for the new project as it offers residents an exciting urban lifestyle. Within a few blocks of the world-class Chase Ballpark and U.S. Airways Stadium, residents can enjoy sports and entertainment events year-round. The city also features beautiful parks, museums, a three-story library, and a host of downtown boutiques, shops, and seasonal farmer’s markets.
Soave Enterprises has a legacy of developing beautifully luxurious communities across the country. From the beach-side luxury towers at Mayora Bay, to the sprawling master-planned suburban community known as Brambleton, Anthony Soave continues to transport his visions of exceptional communities from idea to reality. Soave partners with leading developers to create more than just a condo or a house; he creates a home and a community where residents can enjoy a higher quality of life.

Anthony Soave takes time to appreciate both the old and new aspects of life and business. He understands that without each, growth and improvement can be difficult to come by. In a late issue of Soave Enterprises’ Spectrum newsletter to employees, Anthony Soave shares the following insight and encouragement that is applicable both to life and to business:
Often, if you look around our communities, there still exist the old, persistent challenges – the threats of recession, the aging infrastructure, the healthcare crisis, the politics, and the poor. Yet, each day you also see new developments, new ideas, new leaders and new success stories – the signs of prosperity and hopefulness that keep us focused on what’s possible.
Looking to our own organization (Soave Enterprises), there are many areas where the old and the new come together for exciting and inspiring results. By example, one of our newest condominium developments is in northern Phoenix – an older, yet increasingly vibrant, area in need of in-fill properties. Here, between the Phoenix Museum of Arts and the Phoenix Public Library, The Museum Towers will offer high-rise urban resort living to over 600 owners.
At the Soave Enterprises affiliate, MPS Group, an old friend and long-time member of our Board of Directors, Charlie Williams, executes his role as President and CEO of this quickly growing company. We have every confidence that this talented team will continue to thrive. In Ontario, a new way of looking at an old problem has resulted in the feeding of thousands of people. Instead of being recycled as organic fertilizer, hundreds of thousands of slightly imperfect tomatoes grown by Great Northern Hydroponics are now shipped to soup kitchens and food banks across our area.
In addition, there are hundreds of examples within Soave Enterprises where our oldest customers have benefited from our newest innovations. There are countless times when our older, more seasoned employees have mentored and guided the new.
One thing is sure. At Soave Enterprises, when our old problems and challenges are successfully met by new ideas and solutions, there is always one consistent force at play – our creative, talented and hard-working employees. And this “old” Chairman is newly inspired by you each and every day.
Anthony Soave Leading the Way at Soave Enterprises
Anthony Soave encourages each of his employees at Soave Enterprises to approach their responsibilities with an open and innovative mindset. By appreciating the experience of the past and opportunities of the future, Soave employees can grow and succeed in new ways each day. Whether it is by incorporating new technology within the metal recycling industry, building uniquely welcoming residential communities, or exploring more fuel efficient vehicles like the smart car, Soave Enterprises is setting higher standards within each of its diverse industries.

Brambleton, VA August 2012 – Soave Enterprises’ master-planned community was recently selected as a 2012 Runner Friendly Community by the Road Runner’s Club of America. The club is the oldest and largest distance running organization in the United States and selects only a handful of new communities for the title each year.
“We are thrilled to receive this honorary title,” states Brambleton’s Director of Marketing, Kim Adams. “Our staff and residents are proud of the beautiful community trails and we are so grateful to consistently receive such outstanding support from the community for local running events.”
The Soave community known as Brambleton hosts thousands of runners at annual 5K/10K running events including the Ribbon Run, Journey for the Cure, and Ringing in Hope. In addition to these races, the first annual Brambleton Kids Triathlon will be held in September of this year. Brambleton’s beautiful streetscapes and hundreds of miles of trails make it an ideal location for community running events.
All year round, on any given day, runners can be seen throughout the community enjoying a scenic run in the Soave community. Soave developers purposefully created hundreds of miles of trails along parks and common areas, luscious landscape and waterfalls which now make running in Brambleton enjoyable for residents and for those from surrounding communities.
While each race brings in close to 2,000 individuals to Brambleton, there are also several running groups, clubs and boot camps that are active throughout the year. A very connected community, running and active groups utilize social media to communicate daily and to organize training runs. Groups have formed that meet as early as 4:30 a.m. on weekdays and 9:00 p.m. at night. As the community grows, the Association anticipates that the addition of more trail systems and scenic streets will attract even more running- based programs to our community.
All the communities that received the Runner Friendly Community designation have shown that they meet the program’s criteria, which includes community infrastructure, community support, and local government support for running. Each community has an infrastructure that can foster physical activity in a safe environment; a proven track record that organizations and businesses work together to promote running as a healthy exercise and sport; and there are positive relationships between the running community and local government.

Soave employees took notices when distinctive blue steel beams arrived at a Ferrous Processing & Trading (FPT) scrap facility. They were quickly able to name the beams’ former home – Detroit’s legendary Tiger Stadium. The arena has stood empty since its last Major League Baseball game on September 27, 1999, after which the Tigers moved to nearby Comerica Park.
Beginning in July when heavy equipment began crumbling the walls, the stadium’s steel and nonferrous metals – 89,000 pounds of aluminum, copper and other valuable commodities from the demolished portion of the stadium – have traveled to FPT yards in and near Detroit to be cut to size or shredded before being sold to be re-melted. The recycled materials will eventually become everything from new cars to kitchen appliances.
“That’s the beauty of metal,” FPT’s Executive Vice President Chip Hering noted. “Metal has no memory of what it used to be.”
Soave employees are helping to bring new life to the famous old beams. Almost 95 percent of the demolished part of the stadium is being recycled, an impressive figure compared with a typical industry standard of 75 percent. That estimate includes over 11.4 million pounds of steel and almost 17.4 million pounds of concrete and other debris. By recycling, these resources can be used and appreciated again rather than forgotten and wasted in a landfill.
According to Jim Benacquisto, FPT Account Executive for Soave Enterprises, local destinations for the Ferrous-processed steel include the SeverStal North America Inc. mill at the River Rouge industrial complex in Dearborn and the North Star BlueScope Steel mill in Delta, Ohio. SeverStal’s Dearborn plant is a supplier for many automakers, including General Motors, Chrysler and Ford. North Star BlueScope makes steel with a long list of applications, including manufacturing goods.
“Our yard workers got a kick out of it when they recognized the blue steelwork from the old stadium, but we are recycling Detroit every day,” Hering sums up.
Metal Recycling at Soave Enterprises
Soave Enterprises entered the metals recycling business in 1997 with its investment in Ferrous Processing and Trading. Today, through organic growth and acquisition, Ferrous Processing and Trading is the fifth largest metals recycler in the industry and is no stranger to large projects like the Tiger Stadium.
FPT and its affiliates provide a full range of environmentally friendly metals recovery processes, including one of the world’s first mega-shredders that recovers over 200 tons of recycled metals per hour. With operations in Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Ontario, FPT provides its customers with advanced technological solutions for all of its recycled metals needs. From famous arenas like the legendary Tiger Stadium to everyday automotive and appliance metals, FPT provides reliable, responsible metal recycling solutions.

Soave’s master-planned community Brambleton participated with other Virginia county pools in the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson to raise awareness about a leading cause of accident deaths in children 1-5.
The official worldwide number of participants is not yet known, but 50 Ashburn swimmers at the Brambleton Sport & Health Club (created by Soave Enterprises) participated in a coordinated attempt to break a Guinness World Record for The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson, or WLSL.
Going for the Record
The event was organized in Overalnd Park, Kansas and more than 30,000 kids are anticipated to splash their way to the record. It is also a way for the Soave community and others to help raise awareness that drowning is the second-leading cause of accidental deaths in children ages 1-5, as reported by the Center for Disease Control.
According to the WLSL, research shows swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88 percent for children ages 1-4.
“Parents understand how important it is to protect kids by using car seats and requiring bike helmets,” said Rowdy Gaines, Olympic gold medalist and official spokesman for the event. “Someday, we hope the same will hold true for teaching kids to swim.”
Gaines and gold medalist Janet Evans hope WLSL can convey to the general public that lives can be saved through awareness and training. As parents, both athletes feel a strong commitment to teaching children how to be safer in and around the water.
More than 500 aquatic facilities representing 25 different countries on five continents and 46 states in the United States registered to participate, including Soave’s Sport & Health.
“We’re looking forward to integrating our community,” said Mindy Pierce, director of programming with Sport & Health. Pierce said she learned about the event online and registered.
Four instructors were on hand at the facility’s two pools: Alli Hurst, Molly Booth, Michelle DePasquale and Susan Pettit.
The event grows each year. In 2011, more than 20,000 swimmers participated in 13 countries, which was a 400 percent increase over the previous year, which established the record.

Detroit, MI August 1, 2012 – Soave Enterprises’ owner, Anthony Soave understands that a diversified and evolving industry requires agile equipment and processes that can adapt to varied demands. At the forefront of their trade, Detroit-based Ferrous Processing & Trading (a division of Soave Enterprises) has recently completed the development and implementation of a new system that will allow it to efficiently meet the needs of all its steelmaking customers.
The proprietary RamPress process automatically handles, condenses, and loads scrap metal generated at automotive and other industrial stamping plants. The patent-pending system operates continuously while being monitored remotely via internet data communications with no onsite personnel required from Soave Enterprises.
Ferrous Processing& Trading’s Executive Vice President A.G. “Chip” Hering conceptualized the improved system. He explains that the RamPress “capitalizes on developments in scrap re-melting in the steel industry. This new process generates a dense scrap product that is highly valued while also providing substantial savings in scrap handling at the stamping plant compared to conventional techniques.”
Importantly, the innovative RamPress process can package sheet steel scrap into a form compatible with both traditional integrated steelmakers and the newer mini-mills. The automated equipment compresses sheet steel into a “wafer” that is typically 4’ x 4’ x variable thickness. The thickness of the wafer is key – it can range from 6 to 20 inches, depending on customers’ requirements.
“We developed the RamPress to satisfy the growing demand from the mini-mills, while still accommodating the needs of integrated steelmakers,” notes Hering. “Mini-mills, which utilize electric furnace melters, demand thinner wafers.”
“This system also reduces operating costs and minimizes plant involvement,” Hering says. Designed to work with existing equipment at a stamping plant, the system’s material handling process is managed by video surveillance and a fully automated communications network at Ferrous Processing & Trading.

Anthony Soave provides support for the new state-of-the art pavilion at St. John Hospital and Medical Center.
It isn’t often a building can upstage physicians and corporate leaders, but that is what the new Van Elslander Pavilion at St. John Hospital and Medical Center did at the Donor Preview prior to the pavilion opening. The pavilion has become the main entrance for the hospital. But that is just one component of the $163 million expansion program planned for the hospital. The W. Warren Shelden Heart and Circulatory Center and the Diagnostic Imaging Department are now open for business and over 100 new private patient rooms.
According to St. John’s President and CEO, David B. Stephens, the goal is to make the hospital a regional destination medical center. By sponsoring the pavilion, Anthony Soave is helping the medical center take a major step in that direction.
“Studies have shown that patients want private rooms,” he explained. “Our goal is to attract patients with not only outstanding staff, but facilities as well. They also want convenience and amenities, and we have incorporated many of not only their requests, but physicians’ requests as well, into the facility.”
If the reaction from guests at to preview gala is any indication, the hospital has met its goals.
“This is such an exciting event,” said Mary Ann Van Elslander, whose family’s foundation contributed the lead gift to the project. “God has been so good to us, and it is important for us to give back. This hospital means so much to so many people, and this building is absolutely beautiful,” she said.
Visitors continue to be struck by the non-hospital feel of the new front entrance which features a large covered arrival area and easy access to parking. Upon entering, the three-story glass atrium allows natural light to flood the lobby and waiting areas, providing an open and welcome feeling to patients and their families.
Nearly an entire floor of the new pavilion is taken up by the W. Warren Shelden Heart and Circulatory Center. Featuring 30 individual waiting rooms, the center allows the hospital to consolidate its cardiovascular services.
The new Diagnostic Imaging Center boasts updated digital imaging equipment, as well as two 64-slice CT scanners and a 16-slice scanner. Another 64-slice scanner will be located in the new emergency room currently under construction. The new area also consolidates the ultrasound, vascular lab and nuclear medicine departments.
The Van Elslander Pavilion is part of the largest expansion program in St. John’s 54-year history. A Capital Campaign Steering Committee, chaired by Grosse Pointe Farms resident James B. Nicholson, raised over $30 million.
“We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this extraordinary facility a reality,” Nicholson said. “It was an enormous effort and the support of our community was remarkable.”
In addition to the Van Elslander Family Foundation, other donors recognized at the preview were the John A. and Marlene L. Boll Foundation, the Shelden family, the Manoogian Foundation, Anthony Soave and family, Gretchen C. Valade and Jane and Robert Nugent, as well as the Kresge Foundation, Emergency Medicine Specialists and the St. John Hospital Guild.
