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

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:Flyer14 wrote: Sat Jul 26, 2025 2:36 pmYes, 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.

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

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.

Re: Walter Apartments (SEC 50th & Leavenworth)
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?

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