^^It is named after the Swedish Princess, and I didn't know that she was a lesbian.
Very good Hamilton. Interested in history, or just knew that?
Any way, here's some new shots of the tower taken this afternoon (March 26, 2005):
The man-lift was put up around the beginning of March or late February. The first piece of facade was put up last week (17 or 18th?), and the pile driving rig is back on site. That site is getting awfully crowded!
The Market Street bridge has been undergoing repairs and refurbishment since October, but has been raised for the past month to repair the mechanisms to raise it. Looks good with the new pedestrian treads (now with no holes!) and railings.
Six of the townhouses are occupied now, and its really hard to believe this project is actually happening. When all is said and done there will be approximately 700 new people living down here. We don't get things on this scale much in Delaware; that is, things that are dense and vertical.
The guys on the stairs must be the on the rebar on concrete crews because they walked down from the top, or is that only for steel gangs (or maybe the man-lift operator doesn't work Saturdays)?
Guess I needed a tripod for this one...
Also, the project's
website now has a slick aerial shot flash photo.
