It must have something to do with the continuation of the walkway, i.e. special federal allotment. Normally it's 30 meters from the high tide mark, isn't it?

 

I'm sure there will be a crane but it's still too early for one.

What you're seeing is the foundation wall for an extensive walkway, not the building itself.  The actual main floor unit, which will be used for commercial (after one year) is set back.

[Gary H]

Right, the concrete sea wall that is very near the water is technically not part of the building itself.   Such structures must have their own set of building codes.

Here is the site plan for that portion of the building

I know its not 30m from high tide, but I believe there is a requirement of setback

 

They would not be lifting rebar cages with portable cranes if there was to be a tower crane.  The first thing you do once you get the hole dug is pour the crane base.  You don't waste money with mobile cranes if you plan a tower crane

Does anyone know how they are allowed to build right into the ocean. Who do they get permission from etc and is this allowed anywhere

the building is in the water below high tide line

 

I think I agree with you. The photo of the design in post 663 shows that wall well above the high tide mark, but the photo of the wall under construction (post 656) is below the high tide mark.

It is in the water it is well below high tide mark it is IN the water they poured it during low water

Sea Retaining Wall?  The "volumetric" part may refer to the honeycomb like design that becomes part of the new building's foundation, vs. a simple wall.

[Nparker]

Thanks Gary, those were my thoughts as well.

[JanionGuy]

But isn't the walkway SRW = statutory right of way? 

[Gary H]

Hey, that works too.

JanionGuy - Are you affiliated with Reliance Properties or the Janion at all professionally? Perhaps you purchased there?

Not judging, itd be great to get some insight. I saw Jon Stovell was apart of this conversation a while back - very cool. 

[Gary H]

Yeah Jon hasn't posted here in awhile.  Hopefully he's too busy getting Northern Junk approved.

^ That must be an old computer you're using.

[Mixed365]

Ohh cool. Did you purchase to live there or rent out?

I once heard purchasing in the Janion and renting out via VRBO for a minimum of 10 days you can pay off your mortgage.

Hi all

 

The Sea Wall is to support the Waterfront Walkway that we hope will be open to the Public if the City can connect to us from the bridge.

 

The Sea  Wall is set at the surveyed high water mark.

 

The actual building is further set back from the Sea Wall to allow for the walk way.

So you are, at a minimum, 104 years old?  I hate to think what the premium is on your mortgage life insurance.  $15,000/mo.?

[Nparker]

At least 114 (Janion built in 1891)
