Who is he?

 Amir S Nezamzadeh appears to be a professional based in Kansas, United States, most notably working as a Business System Analyst (or Senior Business System Analyst) at the Kansas Department of Commerce (headquartered in Topeka/Wichita area).

Key details from public professional records:

• His work involves IT/business systems analysis in a state government context.
• Previous roles include positions at companies/organizations such as:
  • SE2 (likely an insurance/software firm)
  • TEKsystems (IT staffing/consulting)
  • Various hospitality/service jobs (e.g., Doubletree by Hilton, Hilton, Zulu Lounge & Bistro, Circa 1875)
  • Produce Clerk at Dillons (a Kansas grocery chain)
  • Possibly others like Continental Cast Stone
• This suggests a career path that transitioned from service/hospitality roles to more technical/IT positions, eventually landing in state government.

There is a LinkedIn profile associated with the name "Amir Nezamzadeh" (linkedin.com/in/amir-nezamzadeh-96919640), which aligns with this professional background, though full details require logging in to view.The surname Nezamzadeh is of Persian/Iranian origin (common in Iran and among diaspora communities), and public records show family connections in places like Texas and elsewhere in the U.S.No prominent public figure, celebrity, academic, or widely known individual matches this exact name in major news, scholarly databases, or social media. Other similar names (e.g., Amirhossein Nezamzadeh, a Berlin-based alumnus with political aspirations; or unrelated figures like Amir Azimzadeh, a California attorney) appear in searches but do not match "Amir S Nezamzadeh."If this refers to someone specific in a local Kansas/Topeka context (perhaps related to your earlier question about the 1854 Public House project in Topeka), he may be a resident, professional, or stakeholder in that area—but no direct public connection shows up in available sources. For more personal or current details, checking LinkedIn directly or Kansas public employee directories would be the next step.

Where, when and why? #mcre1

 The blog at https://1854ph.blogspot.com/ is titled 1854 Public House and serves as the online presence for 1854 Development Group, LLC. It outlines plans for a multi-component revitalization project in downtown Topeka, Kansas, centered at 112 SE 8th Ave. The core elements include:

• 1854 Public House & Gallery Hall: A hybrid hospitality/arts venue combining a restaurant/bar with art exhibitions, events, and cultural programming.
• 1854 Flats: A small residential component with 9 smart-home apartments featuring amenities like rooftop gardens and fitness areas.
• Arkwright’s Market & Provisions: A proposed grocery store focused on local sourcing, aimed at addressing a food desert in the area.

The blog presents investor proposals, financial projections (e.g., seeking ~$7.5 million total investment, with breakdowns for property acquisition around $850,000 and development, plus estimated revenues/ROIs like 15–20% annualized returns), community impact details, and related business plans.As for the current status of the project:
The blog's most recent post is from August 18, 2025, titled "The location is to be determined." It recaps the investor proposal for the three interconnected projects (noting the address may still be flexible or pending finalization). There are only a few posts total, all from August 2025, with no newer entries since then.Given the current date (late January 2026), the blog has had no visible updates in about 5 months. This suggests the project is either:

• In a planning/fundraising phase with no major public progress announced since mid-2025,
• On hold, delayed, or quietly shelved,
• Or still moving forward privately (e.g., behind-the-scenes permitting, investment securing, or construction) without blog posts.

There are no explicit statements on the blog about cancellations, major setbacks, groundbreaking, openings, or current construction status. No related social media links, external news mentions, or updates appear in searches tied to the site.If you're connected to the project (e.g., as an investor, local resident, or stakeholder), checking directly with 1854 Development Group, LLC (via any contact info on the blog or public records in Topeka) would provide the most accurate update. Otherwise, based on publicly available info, it appears stalled or dormant in terms of visible online activity since last summer.

The location is to be determined
