So, what is the deal with this project?  Almost six months until the projected deadline, but no progress in the last few days (at least)?

[motonenterprises]

That's what I was thinking. When is this project going vertical?

[citylife]

Maybe it's on hold.

I admit to being a little apprehensive about the future of this development thanks to a nagging suspicion that I have decided to forego disclosing until further information is available to the public.

Yeah...it does seems odd though that the project would be on hold as it's Hughes and the development received financing from GNMO. I know for a fact there were construction workers on site this past Wednesday. I didn't get a chance to drive by during the day on Thursday or Friday unfortunately to see if they were still working on it or not.

I saw workers poring concrete for the wall on Thursday and Friday they were back filling dirt at the wall, work is still underway.

That's good to see.   Like I said a few days ago in this thread, they're having to do a lot of foundation work. Piping is being installed at this time too for water/sewer.

Just a quick update. Saw at least 5-10 construction workers on site doing lots of work when I drove by around 4pm today.   Guess we can put the worry to rest...for now. Also, i'm hearing the completion date has been moved to May 2012.

I don't think a May completion date is of any worry.

Looks like all the foundation work along with installing a gazillion and one water/sewer/electrical pipes is finally finished. You can see what appears to be the tower crane/elevator shaft in the center of the site below. Shouldn't be long now (probably within the next week or two) until the first floor starts rising. And yes they were working on site today before I took these pics:

[GvilleSC]

Looking great! They should definitely begin their vertical ascent soon. I hope something happens with the one remaining building on that block soon.

Greenville... home of the mid-rise (and street level activity)?

A large boom crane is arriving on site as I type this. I am guessing it is to construct the tower crane but that is just a guess.

[citylife]

After seeing more pieces arrive, it looks like it will be a very large boom crane like you see at stadiums and arenas under construction and not a tower crane.

[motonenterprises]

I just left downtown and was going to post this. You beat me to the punch. Lol

[Skyliner]

The crane was erected Saturday afternoon/evening.  Looks promising!

Wow...I thought it would be a concrete rebar structure. Interesting that's it steel. The good news is that it will rise a lot faster now.
