Still working on the L1 footings and foundation walls and posts. Have started forming the ground floor slab on the north end of this 14s 162 unit apartment building in St. Thomas. Vandel Construction has the general contractor contract for this build.

Have now got the NE corner of this building ground floor slab poured. Still working on the remainder of the L1 level forming. Progress is rather slow on this build.

Interesting they are going with precast concrete walls and posts and floor slabs for this building. The ground floor is now complete and they have already installed the 2nd floor precast slabs. Still working on the underground parking level with all the walls and posts now poured but not the L1 floor as of yet.

St. Thomas is on a roll. I recall the dark days of the Great Recession, when large factories were closing in St. Thomas, and unemployment was surging.
