This project has been planned off and on since at least 2002.

I read in F&C that they closed on their financing recently. Anyone been by to see if any dirt is turned?

I'll check on my way home tonight.

I didn't have a chance to reply last night, but they do have equipment on site along with a construction trailer. The perimeter has already had a plastic barrier put up and construction is imminent.

This is well underway.

Nice! Good to see!

About time! 8 years of planning..

Weird seeing a crane over there: the 1st floor is well underway with wood everywhere.

The project is topped out and they're now working on the exterior.

Ugliest building in the neighborhoid. Stands out like a sore thumb. I can't believe this design was ever approved

Oh good. I was concerned when I saw that we almost had an entire thread without someone complaining about how ugly they think the subject building is.

Your not funny at all. And I live on this block. Nobody likes it around here

That's a tad belligerent for a Saturday morning, don't u think? What's wrong with the area or project that nobody likes it? Tell us more about that.

There are some awfully ugly houses on that block too.

of course it's ugly! It doesn't have any siding yet!!!

It does have siding, I think its completely finished and open.

I actually rather like the finished look of this project. The color scheme is refined yet fresh to this neighborhood. I think they could have met the street a little better at the walkups. The exterior pictures on the website do not do the building justice.
