Going to be honest I’m very proud and feel accomplished I helped build part of parc view. It just really gives you an awesome feeling in being part of a huge project like that. I did the underground e

Thanks SO much for these awesome pics! I was wondering if you would be able to see this crane from your vantage point. Did you have to move farther south in your office to make it happen? Or did we just get lucky?

LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing this new crane rising with the STEM building crane STILL up! And with the Opus on Broad Street in the background - even without a crane - wow... these are the times RVA gives us a reminder she's growing up!

Awesome shots!!!

SAY - are you able to see the crane at the Commodore site in Manchester in your office? I understand the crane at the Tidewater is being dismantled or already has been taken down.

Okay - we can see the Parc View tower crane from the WTVR-TV 6 sky cam!

You have to zoom in on the photo (I cropped it from the most recent tower cam still). Even though it is extremely grainy, you can clearly make out the boom, the top, and the operator booth on the back end. The crane is just to the right and in front of the Monroe Tower - and just to the left of the "Hotel John Marshall" sign.

Check it out!!

Wonder if it will have lighting, the night view from this camera would pick that up more clearly.  Also, look at the red carpet, I mean striping.

I'd think the crane will have some measure of lighting - not sure if it'll be the candy-cane kinda stuff we saw with the VCU Health and GA Building cranes, but since it sticks up prominently on the skyline, it'll need to be visible to pilots. Will keep an eye on it this evening. :tw_thumbsup:

Yeah - the progress of the red paint has been fun to watch today. They've made a lot of progress - and it DOES look like someone's rolling ot a metaphorical red carpet, so to speak.

Awesome, thanks coupe!  From the looks of the bottom photo, you could have walked right in.  Also, this area has seen absolutely zero change in quite a long time, let's hope this is the first of many and wow, does this area need a refresh.

From your keyboard to God's eyes, my friend! :tw_thumbsup:

Let's pray this is the first of MANY changes - and that each of those changes brings LOTS of verticality.

Once the James turns red, will we see frogs and locusts shortly thereafter? :tw_wink:

When the James River starts turning red, the source will not be far away.

Uh oh so the river is going to look like a giant blood bath you say? Not sure I want the river to look like a giant crime scene.

Don't worry - when the total darkness arrives after the frogs, locusts, boils, burning hail, etc. have come and gone, you won't be able to see the red river - (I guess they could re-write the lyrics to the old song - "... crime me a river..." :tw_wink:)

The father-son tag-team behind the planned small apartment building on W. Grace (900 block) and who purchased the uber-narrow building east of 10th and Main in the old Financial district have picked up a building in the Arts District and have plans to get it up and running.

Funny he says they are planning to do 10-12 stories of condos on the Main Street property. It's listed for sale.

Yeah - he was talking about building a 10-12 story condo building a year or so ago. They put it up for sale? I'm guessing the condo building isn't happening then.

we are supposed to be going back to the job site in a month or two. Trying to rap up our other projects that are almost completed first. Going to be fun to get back there. Only thing my coworkers complain about is having to park at Adam’s and Main Street near the Jefferson. We hate having to walk up hill in the morning to get to the job site. I think alot of us are so used to parking on a job site and not 3 blocks away.
