So the structural system for Alexan Mills 50 is precast and tilt-wall panels for the walls. They are using precast T-panel deck for floors which are shipped in on flatbed trucks and tilt-wall for the exterior. It is going up incredibly fast.  Given the height, I don't know if they will even use a tower crane, but the boom crane on-site currently to put the panels in place. 

I couldn't take a photo as I drove by on 50 today, but this will have a large presence on that block and along Colonial in a very, very short time.

Someone just posted this on Next Door. Fun shot of the corner in question.

I agree with @spenser1058 that the SoDo development itself is way better than Mills Park—particularly this half-built, toned down version of the original we ended up with. Orlando Health is a major as

Shooting into the sun, so not the best photos, but it's definitely going up fast:

Apparently, someone spent way too much time reading Beowulf…

Well, that is not a new, modern day hipster hybrid word concoction.

According to Webster's online, the first known use of the word was in 1978 . 

That's not ancient, but I believe it was started in the Cornwall region of Southern England.

The idea of fermented honey doesn’t really do it for me but, hey, this was the drink of my ancient tribe, so maybe I should try it. Otoh, given we’ve been here in the South since 1780, maybe I’ll just stick with Maker’s Mark.

@spenser1058 @JFW657 y'all are aware this is a pretty standard product now, right? Tampa has a few, as does Miami. Even backwoods Jax has one. The 1st in this area was in Sanford nearly 5 years ago. Nothing hipster about it- just a place that makes a product that goes back about 10,000 years.

Yep. I knew that.  :thumbsup: 

But I wasn't talking about the beverage, I was talking about the word "meadery".

Has a kind of trendy, hipster sound to it.

Basically the same as brewery... the "ery" just signifies that's where said concoction is made.  A good mead is one of my favorite alcoholic beverages.  The problem is there's very few good ones.  They tend to go too sour or cider crossover at times imo.

Can you bring your own flagon to these places?

Do the waitresses allow you to address them as "wench"?  

"A flagon of meade, wench!!!!"

The old 7-Eleven site at Mills 50.  She gone... Looks like there's some activity on the site and dirt being moved around finally. What are the redevelopment plans again?

There is a master plan for the entire block- posted a while back in Bungalower and Daily City.

Instead of adding a visor, they inverted the roof. Can we stand this sudden burst of creativity?

Or just put a protruding V-shaped feature on the parapet to look like an inverted roofline.

Still, better looking than most of the crapitecture we usually see around here.

Hope it gets built.

As shown.
