Advanced Particle Therapy has acquired 7 vacant acres, at the southwest corner of Camino Santa Fe and Summer Ridge Road in Sorrento Mesa in the Fenton Technology Park, for construction of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center, a state-of-the-art cancer treatment center using proton therapy.

"This center will be the first of its kind in San Diego," said Jeff Bordok, president of Advanced Particle. "We are scheduled to break ground in mid to late July, and the project should take approximately 30 months to complete."

Casey Brown and Mike Colarusso, of BCL Inc., are the local managing partners for the $185-million construction project, along with The Haskell Company, of Jacksonville, Fla. and Signet Enterprises, of Akron, Ohio.

As clinical partners of Advanced Particle Therapy, Scripps Clinic Medical Group and Scripps Health will operate and provide clinical support at the new Proton Therapy Center.

RSI Roofing, of San Diego, has signed a contract with Santa Fe Ranch Apartments to re-roof four buildings and two carports at their property in Carlsbad. The job will cover more than 17,000 square feet.

RSI will lift and relay Monier LifeTile, and install a new dual felt underlayment on four buildings, while the carports will be re-roofed using hot asphalt by Malarkey, according to David Susi, president.
