small projects ready to be photographed
I was round and about this week and noticed a few interesting things:
1) the Waverly addition and overbuild by Pearl at 13th & Lombard appears to be topped out at about six or seven floors.
2) At least two additional steel-framed floors are being added to a 4 story building at 2nd & Spring Garden across from Penn Herb. Framing is up.
3) Demolition and excavation has commenced on the 100 block of Arch on the site of what I believe is the National (6 or 7 stories I think). The L&I info board at the site is basically blank, which I thought was funny.
4) Excavation has begun at 2nd & New for the the heretofore aesthetically debated 6 story building there.
5) The Parker Spruce is completely fenced off. It appears interior gutting has commenced in earnest. That will be an interesting, likely disgusting interior demo job.
The east side of town is percolating, particularly now that OCCA is not there to put the kibosh on every new proposal.
