Big day at the Catalyst / 180 E Water St. development site. The pile auger is coming down, and the tower crane base has arrived on site. Crews continue to go gangbusters on formwork and concrete. I think we will see two tower cranes on Kalamazoo's skyline shortly and for a brief while, which is a fairly major accomplishment for this city.
I suspect that this is the formwork for the foundation to support the crane -
These photos are from last Friday -
Also, just a stone's throw away from this site, 151 E Michigan Ave. has some new banner signage and two guys outside doing some measuring (not sure if it was related or a coincidence, because there's been a ton of work at street level all along this stretch all year). If nothing else, it looks like the property manager (Treystar) is getting more aggressive about marketing this beautiful building, which has been largely vacant for a long time. Right behind this building is the catalyst site.
