^I'm guessing if one spends the evening golfing with those ladies in the video, your balls will end up in the rough before midnight.

A dumpster has been placed next to the building. They also had a tape barrier placed in front of the entrance on church. 

Here’s a terrible picture I took while driving by:

It's like police tape marking the homicide of another old building

I guess we can count that one as about ready to start. Exciting to have 4 high-rises basically on one street under construction within about a block and a half.

Guitar. That is all.

I wonder what they're going to do with that guitar.  You would think it would have some little bit of historical significance, maybe not a lot but it's been a longtime landmark!

It would be nice if they somehow integrated it into the development.

They've also placed more permanent concrete barriers up along the site's frontage on the Church Street viaduct. I'd imagine demo starts very soon.

Looks like a go!  So what residential towers do you guys think will get started this year?  Saw someone comment recently that they expected the Hayes Street (Avalon) tower and Hensler's at Peabody Place to start in '21.

I vaguely remember reading that Voorhees tower 1 is supposed to start late this year. 
 

Going to be exciting once Albion and the Giarratana twins start rising out of the ground. 

[smeagolsfree]

I think the Hensler tower will start toward the end of the year as well. Magic 8 ball says so!

Other excavator is here!!  Total 2.
