Its Marine Layer opening a 1100 sq foot store between Hawkers and pikes. https://www.marinelayer.com/ I think its pretty cool

What ever happened to this? Is Marine Layer still coming? SE seems like a perfect spot for them.

Thanks! I never saw a formal announcement, but this is great news.

1-2 more floors to go. The Hawk Apt tower really making an impact in Southend. 

[KJHburg]

I agree I was in the area for lunch today.  Hawk is rising one more floor it looks like.   and Shake Shack is well underway and no lines today at Jeni's LOL.

Crane base at Lowes is in:

The Hawk is indeed topped out and the first glass has appeared.  Today.   Does anyone know if this fast pre finished concrete panels high rise construction cheaper than a traditional tower of this size?  I know tilt up big box warehouses are done this way all the time. 

[j-man]

I actually like this so far 

[rockhilljames]

i don't know, materials are really going to matter on this one. Here's hoping for quality finishes.

[JorgiPorgi]

The giant LEGO building is topped out. 

[Urban Cowboy]

Kinda scary how fast that went up. How would it withstand an earthquake???!

Signage was up for the chocolate shop next to candlebar this morning

Yes absolutely it’s cheaper.  Because of the faster construction as well as the indoor fabrication process.  Cast in place (CIP) Concrete is more expensive and time consuming due to placing /securing of reinforcing (each level) as well as Cure time (slower in winter time) once the concrete is placed.

The drawback of Precast Construction is that it doesn’t easily lend itself to very customized shapes/sizes hence the Hawks boxy nature.  Sexy Shapes, Custom curvatures, death defying Cantilevers, etc. will mostly remain in the realm of CIP Construction.  Precast & Modular (stalled Hotel at Stonewall) Construction will remain with some Market Share though as it fills a niche.

I do not understand how the candle bar could possibly last there.

If it's anything like or similar Bath and Body Works, I know. My wife single handedly supports our local Bath and Body Works. I never knew how one person can own so many candles. She just mentioned that we're getting "low". We have minimum 10 in our house with maybe 6 unused. "Yes dear". So a candle shop making it in Southend? I believe it.

It’s not. It’s for bachelorette parties, you make your own candles and drink wine. I believe.

Ah gotcha. Wine plus candles, maybe still believable?

A few years ago in the Pavilion, now under renovation across from the Atherton, there was a pottery decorating and glazing shop. Short life.

I think there was a wine and painting shop somewhere, cannot recall. Hep me somebody.

[CLTranspo]

There was (still is?) a wine and painting shop right on the corner of Camden and West. My husband and I had one of our first dates there.
