Spring is finally in the air! Here are some updates from yesterday.
The Exchange is becoming visible from more angles / vantage points. This is one of my favorite views of the skyline, from the top of the Epic Center ramp.
Also just starting to peak out from the Haymarket District parking lot.
Partway done with the 7th floor pour. This is where the building transitions from parking ramp to residential.
216-220 Michigan Ave. from the alley.
Bronson Park. Alas, the fountain and statuary are no more.
Site is cleared for The Foundry, Phase 2.
Too bad this is all we will be getting. A big waste of a near-downtown site in my opinion.
381-383 South Pitcher Street rehab is crawling along.
The future County Health building looks amazing though.
And the small dam nearby, beneath Alcott Street, that once served the paper mill is now gone.
Meanwhile, restoration work on Portage Creek just south of the former dam is in progress. There are future plans to develop the land along these banks.
Jumping to Portage. The new Stryker Corporate HQ, though not tall, is just massive in scale. Looking straight on at the main entrance.
Exciting to see glazing going up already.
Looking from the side opposite the main, public entrance. I guess you'd call it the back.
Lastly, some Portage Schools updates. Here is the new Central High School Natatorium, which is nearing completion.
Earth has been cleared for the new Central Middle School. Should start picking up speed soon.
Northern Middle School is 'topped out'. This is similar to what Central Middle School will be like, in form and layout.
Portage Northern's new football stadium, which should be ready in time for the fall season. This will mark a huge turning point for the school's athletics / football team, which will no longer have to play its home games at their rival's (Portage Central's) field.
