Hey, missed ya by maybe 30 minutes. You took better established shots, mine were mere walk-by’s. The Builders building caught my eye. Our next 1920s building to be lost I suspect.

First Pres will sell their land within 3-5 years for Affordable housing, a new community center and office.

I am assuming this is not speculation on your part but whispers you have heard?

It's educated speculation. I talked to First Presby a few years back, and it was on their radar, and this was before Apex. Churches need to pivot to survive in 2020, and theres a notable shift happening with urban churches, and I would think First Presby sells that lot soon.

This was a really great project, showcasing the SidePlate moment frame system that assisted in the progressive collapse design requirements.  I hosted a lessons learned presentation with the project's design/construction team back in September and it's amazing to see it in it's (almost) finished form!  Thanks all for posting pictures throughout!

this was mentioned before but are any of those recesses balconies on the higher level any idea @tozmervo? 

[tozmervo]

I believe those will all be usable outdoor spaces.

I really like this building the more and more I see of it.  It looks like it was built in the 30's or 40's.

This new addition blends beautifully with the older structure.  Today.

^ Nothin like separating "Church & State"..     Had this been in place in 1989, Jim Bakker would have never been convicted..

Funny!  The courts in NY are so gorgeous.  60 Centre Street, the Surrogate's Court on Chambers, the Second Circuit Courthouse on Foley Square, the Southern District Bankruptcy Court, and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District in Brooklyn are among the most gorgeous courthouses in America.

This new addition in Charlotte is awesome too.

I remember a post by Ricky Ricardo a while back where, IIRC, he said they planned to paint the window mullions a dark grey or bronze color and planned to do the same to the old section to match and included some renderings.  I don't think I've ever seen aluminum window frames like this painted after the fact before.  Typically you order the color you want (or that's available from the manufacturer) and they come powder-coated in that finish.  These look to me like they're done.  It does look like a hospital or monastery.

(they're not done)

They should have added something like this to the Polk building! Would have been a great addition.
