Where can I get a high-res copy of that awesome panoramic? Do you have a flickr account or something?

I was out around here today and it seems they are preparing to start the next building up the hill from Royal Summit (?) (the one that caught fire). The foundations are mostly poured and there is an orange tower crane on the ground waiting to be assembled which I don't recall seeing last time I ventured up that way. The building that did catch on fire is coming along with most of the brickwork done. It appears it will differ from the rendering and not have as much glass as the drawings suggested, which definitely dulls down the appearance.

Jonovision · #29 Posted **Dec 9, 2008, 3:07 AM**

Do we know anything about this next building going up?

worldlyhaligonian · #30 Posted **Dec 9, 2008, 3:24 AM**

Its one of the residential buildings for sure.

Has the commercial plaza component of this development started construction?

kph06 · #31 Posted **Dec 10, 2008, 4:21 PM**

This building seems to be the only foundation poured, there are a total of 10 or 11 building lots, and this should be the fifth. I don't think the commercial part has started yet, where was it suppose to be located? The map which is now out of date shows 10 lots, all but one being residential, with that one being a community/neighborhood/environmental center. This plan has changed as the footprints of the buildings has changed and their tenth lot, Palace Royale was split up to accommodate the new Trinity Church.
I'm surprised renderings have not come out for this new building, but it could be they just poured the foundations in the fall and are storing the crane there until they are ready to begin construction. I'm sure it will fall along the same design lines as the others.

I don't put any of my high-res stuff online for 2 reasons, photography is what I do, so my good stuff stays out of the public eye for the most part and 2, that image at full resolution would kill the average computer cause the file is ~22gb

lol

Could be worse... they could have named it "Palais Royale". With cheese.

I took another drive out here today and the bottom few sections of the tower crane are in place for the next building. The foundations are not quite finished and there were plenty of workers and cement trucks pouring the foundation. There was no mobile crane on site, so it may be a few days until the rest of the crane is assembled because the mobile crane is usually on site a day or two in advance. There is still no billboard advertising for this building.

Site work on the lot furthest up the hill to the west has begun with excavators working on the material on site, so this lot may be developed soon.

kph06 · #36 Posted **Jan 27, 2009, 10:20 PM**

Work is progressing on the newest building out here, they are pouring the second floor in some parts. Judging by the height of the crane there will only be four or five floors as it is lower than the crane father down the hill. There were no advertisements for the building, I doubt it will be a landmark building by any means. According to the sign for the development as a hole it is 70% sold, which is a good sign I suppose, the sooner this brings in money the faster they can move on to Kings Warf?

Jonovision · #37 Posted **Jan 28, 2009, 4:32 AM**

Kings Wharf? These aren't Fares developments are they? I thought they were all Joe Metledge buildings.

kph06 · #38 Posted **Jan 28, 2009, 4:38 AM**

Mt. Royale is Fares, and a few of the buildings are his, I'm pretty sure Kings Warf is fares too.

Wishblade · #39 Posted **Jan 28, 2009, 9:40 PM**

Yes, they are both Fares developments. It even says so on websites for both projects.

A picture update would be great, I'm never in that part of the city.
