Yeah the finishes are much improved, though I liked the pergola in the original.

Has it changed much since then? Last time I went by I almost thought work had stopped.

Crane on site and sign saying that Leavenworth will be closing next Sunday.

Yes, I would assume with the crane there they should start framing floor 1 soon, probably another concrete pour or two left on the parking level.

I went by tonight. I think the crane is adding the precast decking to the top of the parking structure. Here are a couple photos:

It’s great to see urban density being added to this part of town. Although the existing neighbors might well disagree.

I reckon the people across Leavenworth will remain pretty quiet

It is a high-demand area. People are dying to get in there.

Ok, but seriously…you really have to be a certain type of person to want to look out your North living room window and ponder your day with your mourning coffee.

I can’t wait to hear how they market these. ”…enjoy quiet neighbors across from serene subterranean memorial garden."

Coincidentally I drove by this yesterday and then came across this thread after that. What I noted in that brief pass through is how shady Leavenworth is because of the building. I foresee that being pretty rough (or slick?) come winter time.

I've lived on both north and south facing properties, and I know first hand the north facing is much more of a |expletive| when it comes to snow and ice? :what:

Liking the white brick they are using here. A nice change from the usual red brick around town.
