Since the first one was purged and construction is picking up, I thought I'd re-thread it.
The developer Buccini / Pollin is building two 22 story towers, and sixty-three townhomes in the block bounded by the Christina River, Market Street, A Street, and Walnut Street. Between the river and the residences will be a two acre park designed to compliment Tubman Garrett park directly across the river. Both the Market and Walnut Street lift bridges will be refurbished and accent lighting installed. Also, A Street will be raised above the flood plain and completely rebuilt with the brick sidewalks and black street lanterns (the, it now seems, standard Wilmington street pattern). Construction is expected to be completed in summer of 2005 for the townhomes, and fall 2005 for the apartment tower. The condominium tower is expected to be completed by spring of 2006.

A rendering of the condominium tower. The apartment tower will be very similar to this. Unfortunately nearly all the
site's images are Flash, so this is the best I could do.

There are steel studs up to the 4th floor, and concrete work is under way on the 14th as of this afternoon. The pace is about a floor a week for rebar and concrete work.
