Was so confused what I was being quoted on haha.

No idea why you think its an "extra $100".  The price seems super fair to me... $167 for electric covering a 1100sqft 2/2 in the middle of summer?  My 3/2 1300sqft is costing about the same amount.... after I installed new central A/C for $10k and replaced all the windows with energy efficient ones for $6k...

$6k was all it cost?  How many windows do you have?

I have about 1000 sqft and in summer my electric bill tops out at 90ish.

Same, I have a slightly above 1000 sqft 2/2 and in the summer my electric bill is around $90-100. We're not exactly the best with being energy conscious either.

Your apartment should have been a lot less compared to a house. Apartments are generally only exposed on one side. Minimal heat exposure above you (unless you were on the top floor)

Chilled water is expensive.

so I take it they are not on OUC's chilled water system.

[Jvest55]

Modera isn't on OUC either, I only figured that one out after seeing a photo of the roof area.

it's just odd.  air comes out really cold.  them heating elements warm it to your liking.  you still pay electric.

Solaire's unit's doors have to have that 1/2" to 1" gap under them for air circulation.  I think Solaire is the chilled water system as well as the offices...  With that gap you can hear everything out in the hallways.

They are dismantling the taller crane today.

[Jvest55]

1) Both cranes are down as of today, just a small part of the tower is left which I imagine will be gone by tomorrow.

2) I noticed that compared to Camden 420, they have added what looks like a bunch of white styrofoam blocks in between the individual HVAC units. Maybe this is some new method of sound suppression they are trying out. The air return turbine-looking things appear 10x larger than 420. I don't know the technical name, so forgive me for that.

3) I found a plan image of the ground floor. This is more updated than what was approved by the ARB as you can tell, there are no more townhouses where the parking garage is.

Yes, the gap is for air circulation to introduce outside air into the unit. Put a unit in the hallway and you don't have to install one in every unit. Also, helps with running air in the winter months to suck out humidity of the handler in the units are not running. 

[Jvest55]

Looks like they are putting in the rest of the windows and the corners might be done in a week or so. I was incorrect to assume that the white styrofoam things on the roof were for sound insulation. It's just some construction material they used for the side walls.

They've begun to paint/put on exterior materials. I'll snap a photo once a little more work is done.

Wasn't there also supposed to be a 15-story 620 Church St or something? Is that still happening?

Thanks Bro for all your awesome photos. I'm not local so it's nice to see the skyline from these different perspectives.
