One thing that hits you when you are there is the smell. The musty smell of broken wood, concrete and steel.

I wonder if they are going to have two excavations going at once with the alley like a narrow land bridge between.

I took these pics of the excavation just after 4:00 PM today.

I wonder what those 3 little rectangle holes in the corner are for? Crane maybe, I hope, I hope?

[jollyburger]

Crane should be going in soon, they were digging out those square holes in the pit.

EDIT: Sorry didn't see the photos from mcminsen of the pit.

Should be ya. Exciting times.

Here's a shot from my new place, should have a good view of this one for a the medium term at least:

Looks like the Milano?

Thanks for the update.

Based on previous photos taken from ground level, I was uncertain whether the pit was being dug to accommodate both residential towers. But your photo makes clear that a second pit must be dug before the shorter tower can be built.

Correct and Correct.

The car dealership site is completely cleared now.

And here's a look at what's going on down in the bottom of that big hole.

Slowest project ever.....

[Dimswitch]

I was there at 4:30 today (Jun 7) and nobody working down there, no wonder things are taking so long, while full crew working at Van House.

[osirisboy]

I was there at 1 and it was busy. Funny how they are using that mobile crane. Is there a crane shortage? Lol

[Dimswitch]

The Charleson is almost finished, maybe they're waiting for that one.

[LeftCoaster]

Still going down....

OK, a mini-crane and rebar going up, surely that promotes bldg to "under construction"....yes yes

[retro_orange]

No poured concrete yet (actually yes there is in the first pic!)
