Quick update - they have begun to go vertical again. The 7th floor is now being built. However - it's literally brick by brick - so it's taking awhile. 

Skyhouse at 23 stories was built in 13 months, meanwhile 520 E Church & The Yard at Ivanhoe are still puttering along... brick. by. brick.

The company behind 520 is a publicly traded entity, you'd think they would want it done as fast as possible. Doesn't really make sense. Seems like a complex building so far, with the garage inside the middle and units wrapped around it.

Looks like more steel went higher this week. I will try to get a photo from across the lake.

Well, they've finally finished the 7th floor on the Eola Drive side.

...and we’re vertical!

Almost vertical for a year and we’re wrapping up the 7th floor...

I'm honestly not sure how the usual building process is for a building this height but they are legit going brick by brick. 

I hope they're better quality than 420. I enjoy living there but there's already starting to be problems with the building. The elevators break all the time. You can hear your upstairs neighbor no matter what. Cabinetry and doors break or become misaligned. The location really makes it.

SIAP. Their website is now live. Mentions cutting edge sound reducing tech. Maybe that’s why this is taking so long? 

Looks like they’re going higher end with this for sure. Can’t wait to see those rents.

Interesting. I wish they would explain what measures are taken to mitigate sound transmission. Apparently Camden Waterford Lakes also uses sound reduction technology, whatever that means. The rental rates for the Waterford Lakes location are posted on the site (if that's any indication of what to expect).

"cutting edge sound reducing tech" Nice BS marketing term. You will never see an explanation about it I guarantee it. 

Personally I dislike the design where the courtyard and pool is in the middle of the building, this creates a very loud atmosphere for residents who have an apartment on the inside. Similar to 420, it amplifies all outdoor sounds.

Since Camden’s marketing geniuses also decided South Eola was now Thornton Park, I guess I’m not shocked ...

I highly doubt Jan 2020 is the opening.

Yeah..no way. The sign on the construction site says "Spring 2020" - so I'm expecting about a year from now.

Construction is slow and they are adding something different now. 

This has been one of my least favorite projects so I'm not sure what they are doing. 

Here are a few photos though.

What's different? That's the open court/pool area as per the rendering.

The 9th floor seems to be moving along more quickly than the 8th did.

[Jvest55]

One thing I did notice just now is there doesn't seem to be any livable units below the pool area as the render shows. There's just the parking garage 

Edited September 25, 2019 by Jvest55

The garage and the rendering are on the south side, aka the backside.  The north side has residences that go down to just above the ground level retail.   As with the 420,  the north side is the front.
