Really hoping it pulls through to the finish line and the groundwater issues didn't tank the budget.

We have been in contact with the superintendent. Original finish was spring 2025, now pushed to July. They claim they are basically on schedule, which just astonishes me. I know we are in a different world, but I don't think we can state this enough: the Empire State Building was completed in 410 days!

Some interesting info trying to address some of these issues:

I was at Jack's Stack a couple of nights ago. It was dark and from an angle I wasn't use to seeing it, it seemed they had actually made some progress on the building since earlier in the Fall.

Wow thanks for the photos. I used to live in Arterra and haven't seen it for awhile. I miss it a little even though it was kind of crappy

Thanks for all the photos today Chris. How about swinging over to Beacon Hill and updating us on new houses on Forest Avenue?

And new houses in the Plaza Heights neighborhood north of 45th Street to Corbin Terrace?

It's only been just over two years, but for some reason it feels like this has been under construction for a long time
