Now, Crossland Construction has taken over the job with 100 workers currently on the site daily, 250 are expected at its peak, and the market-rate apartment development is expected to be completed by August 2020.

“Within the five months we’ve been underway, there’s been more tangible progress on the building than we saw the whole time it was previously under construction,” said Cliff Cohn, a partner in the project.

Developer: We are building the greenest apartment building in the US.

Me: That’s great! The building is green and transit adjacent.

Developer: It has a 500 spot garage.

On another note... Are there any plans to reconnect 2nd Street?

I'd written off brick as a bit of a lazy choice of material, but seeing this higher quality stuff is making me rethink things. This is the kind of architecture to fill in the north loop with

Brick is hardly a lazy choice, it's much better than the stucco lego block buildings happening elsewhere. But mixing brick with another material (stone/metal or minimal stucco) or making it two tone better than monotone solid brick.

This project is progressing nicely! When do you expect pre-leasing to begin?

I like it. A much larger complex than I expected.

This place really has a presence on the river.
