[btoy]

I heard today that consturction will finally start on The Edge on North Main within the next week or two.

[vicupstate]

Thanks for the update Brad, I was wondering when it was going to start. The auction was awhile ago.

How exciting! More downtown residents coming soon. I hope the plans for one of the supermarkets gets underway sonn as well.

[GvilleSC]

[goodbye]

The Edge is a new Residential development on North Main Street, next to the Rotary Park. It will feature Craftsman style exterior architecture, and interiors will range from traditional to industrial.

Update from Hogan:

"Construction Update

Because of numerous delays due mainly to City planning review and architectural and engineering issues, the original estimated May 2006 completion date has been re-evaluated. The first five buildings in the complex have been through the City review process and construction should be starting soon. A revised estimate of completion for the entire project is between October 2006 and March 2007. With a project of this scope that involves as many city and state agencies as this one, unforeseen delays require a large estimation window. As construction progresses, completion date estimates will be updated and the window will be narrowed. "

I assume the engineering delays they mention have something to do with the 30 foot pile of boulders on the corner of N. Main and Croft. I am very excited about the progress, and can't wait to see the first building going up.

[GvilleSC]

This will be an awesome development. thanks for the update

[goodbye]

Thank you for the update, wellen!

I had been wondering why this project wasn't moving along any quicker, but your post explains it pretty clearly.

I got the same letter yesterday as well. I can not decide if it is good or bad news.

I drove by this past weekend. Looks like the site prep work is all done. All the leveling, etc. Great location for these facing the park (what's the name of this park?).

[wellen]

I believe it is N. Main Rotary Park.

[jfl25]

I still can't picture were this is I've drove up N.Main several times lately and I guess I'm blind or distracted because I cant seem to recall what this project is located near.Is rotary park the one in the "hole". Please excuse my ignorance of N.Main I dont get to travel it much.

If you get into the residential part of North Main, then you go down a hill and if you look left there is a flattened area of red dirt that is long and skinny. Past the red dirt is a park. The red dirt is this project isn't it?

Correct. It is at the corner of N. Main and Croft. One block north of Earle St.

[jfl25]

OK I guess i didn't quite go far enough .Thanks

Thanks everyone I'll have to venture a little further down main.

"If you are not living life on The Edge, you are taking up too much room"

Could be a good motto for the project.

[jfl25]

Still no major activity at the site I drove by today and it appeard that the crews were working on storm drainage.

[wellen]

Foundations are scheduled to be poured in the next 2 weeks, depending on weather. They are still planning on an early 2007 completion.

[cutiger]

Anyone know what's going on with The Edge? I live a few blocks over and haven't seen (or heard) any work going on for the past week or so.

[carolinadude9409]

Welcome to UP, cutiger. I don't know what's going on with the Edge on Main, but maybe somebody else knows. Go Tigers.

[DT-Gville]

The builder said they are negotiating contracts for the remaining work. He said that they should be doing the plumbing in a couple of weeks and then start framing.

[wellen]

Hogan told me today that they have just recently gotten final mechanical drawings, and hope to finish up the foundations in the next few weeks. Framing to start in December and complete by June-August 2007. Please note the auction for this was in April 2005.
