The exterior cladding and flashing is starting to go up (slowly) in the corner closest to Crag X.  Nice looking grays.

 

Another pour today for the ground level of the shorter 1515 Douglas building.  It is almost entirely out of P1 now.  Just a bit more forming to do in the corner by Weeds that smells as you'd assume.  Seriously I think you could get high just standing outside that place for about 10 minutes.

There's a Centro thread on here somewhere. Just Google for it.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a rendering for the condos that were originally proposed for this site?  I think the development was called *Centro*.

Random question. 

Did the Jawls buy this from Townline (who originally had envisioned it as Centro)? 

[Mike K.]

That may have been the chain of ownership, but Townline also may have only had an option to buy pending a successful rezoning.

[G-Man]

I thought it was owned by someone else and that Townline only had the option of purchase should the project get approved.

Has there been any speculation yet as to what retailers might be arriving here? Will it follow the Atrium's very successful model of having only local businesses on the ground floor?

I've heard the Village restaurant/brunch place is going in here somewhere.

^ooh, I wouldn't be surprised.

About reaching the limit of the concrete pump...

And how it should appear when topped out.

I agree with Mike, the City Hall tower is leaning slightly to the south. What does that mean politically though?

[Mike K.]

Oh look at that, it is, too!

So Campbell may have called it quits for the day due to weather. I can't see any activity.

The insulation guys were working when I walked by.  Also a bit of work on the forms for the 2nd floor of the Douglas building.

Erection seems to have slowed for the Pandora building.  Still stuck on getting forms set up for the 11th floor.  Also the cladding I mentioned a few weeks ago going in on the bottom corner near Crag X has been removed.  More metalwork and insulation is going up first and then I guess they'll start up on the cladding.

 

For the Douglas building they're almost entirely at grade now.  They seem to be a day or two away from being able to pour the final section nearest Weeds.

That's what I was just about to say, " Erection seems to have slowed..."

Yes its too cold out there for erections maybe you can update us Nagel with an erection report for Pandora,like when teh erection resumes and how many of the workers are involved

Youre the best.

Maybe they just need a hand from the workers at Hudson Walk 2, who seem to have no issue maintaining a status of ongoing erection on their site.

This thread has turned into a post-measuring contest.

Some experts say a hand is all that's required.  Others say it's a mindset.  Still others say a clinical approach is best.

The crane might be perfectly fine. The operator might just be tired or stressed. You won't know for sure unless you refrain from all construction activity for 3-6 months. And that includes looking at pictures of construction sites.
