IN PROGRESS: WaterPlace | Intercontinental

[Frankie811]

I went buy the morning the projo had published the article about the parcel 2 or 6 witch ever is not g tech. I spoke with the guys doing the digging and asked them what was up. They told me they were just doing some digging so they could make a bid for the job. I showed them the picture in the paper and they were stunned that it was there. A happy stunned... they were so happy about all the work they are getting... i dont know who they worked for but they were really proud to be part of the rising city.....

Isn't that special!

I just visited ADD Inc's website and noticed that they moved this project from their work in progress section to their portfolio section, which is a good sign I guess. I thought they usually wait untill a project is finished before adding it to their portfolio. See ya at the groundbreaking ceremony

Does anyone know who is representing this property as broker? I'd be curious to find out information about preconstruction pricing.

Nope those are the only dates I have at this time.

Steel in November... How does that affect the latest Mid-April groundbreaking date (by the way, it is Mid-April now!)? As seen with GTECH, steel is a ways off from the actual groundbreaking.

Is groundbreaking pushed back, possibly having less impact on this summer's WaterFires?

[provid]

Alot of work must be done before the steel can be erected. G-Tech is a great example because you can see the amount of preparation before any part of the building raises

Looks like their now saying groundbreaking will be May 9th

[Cotuit]

The groundbreaking date is May 9, Iselin said. The builders will tackle the parking garage first.

May 9th doesn't do anything to help the WaterFire season. However, the fact that they are starting with the garage, which is at the back of the parcel, may mean the Riverwalk is not affected for a little while into the construction schedule. I wonder if they will be able to open, and generate revenue from the garage while the towers are being built.

"Commission member Barry Preston asked the Intercontinental team whether it was going to change the Flying Nun appearance of one of the towers. The developer said no."

What does a "flying nun" look like anyway?

tHE rendering on that link seems different and I love IT!!! It seems more rectangular than blocky... and i think it is more of what we need... it takes away that Miami feel

[glassandsteel]

It's just stretched vertically.

I hope ground breaking isn't pushed up again. That area really needs to be built upon and I do like this proposal.

[kinematix]

Spoke to a city council member last night who said the ground breaking will be in about two weeks. He mentioned a specific date but I've stupidly forgotten it. I'll try to ask again but in the mean time, everything looks like a go!
