That part of Stone is suppose to be closed three straight nights this week. 

[vistatiger]

They got the entire curbing  poured  ( old Sears/ Canal Ins side)in one night so they didn't have to close  the others. I hope they get this project completed much sooner than expected so Northpointe can get started.  Doesn't seem all that complicated of a project.

Do 18-wheelers still roam the highways of America?

That is their specialty.

[Jet-set]

Does anyone else find it odd that the Canal Ins. building has almost no windows?

[btoy]

It used to be a Sears.

[vistatiger]

I would love to see a picture of it when it was Sears. Wonder if  it will become retail again at some point ?

They could punch some windows in it and do a little Ponce City Market for Greenville but we are kinda already getting one with the Feed and Seed.

I don't think that I've even driven past that former Sears much at all since it was a Sears, and I recall shopping there in the '70s.  From a current Internet photo of the building, it looks pretty much unchanged--just add a '60s-era Sears sign and there you have it.

Wade Hampton Boulevard reopens near NorthPointe, Column Street closed for good

Why did  they dump all that concrete and asphalt they dug up from the former road and the Canal parking lot across the street in the middle of the Northpointe construction site.?  What a  mess to clean up.  Just what this project needs is more delay before they can get started.

[cutiger]

They are crushing the concrete and using/selling it as backfill. Good reuse of the material. The crushing machine is a beast...

Could be wrong but it looks like possibly a tower crane base is being installed at East Stone Avenue and Church Street where the apartment building is going. I’ll double check with my drone later today or tomorrow. 

[gman430]

Well, it’s either a tower crane base, elevator shaft, or both:

Framing for the apartment building along Church is scheduled to begin mid-April and the parking garage should begin in May. This project is about to take shape!

Northpointe update from May 3

The construction crane will be built next week with the Parking Deck going up starting the following week. You will be able to notice the progress. This will launch the vertical construction of the Apartment/Retail Building on the corner of Stone Avenue and Wade Hampton Boulevard.

Big boom crane now erected for garage.

Not sure if there is a better forum to put this in, but looks like the city is initiating a master plan for Wade Hampton Blvd. Hopefully some real strategy goes into this, because right now it just looks like townhomes and mini-storages popping in wherever developers can get their hands on land.
