Big crane and huge pieces of steel

It’s all kinds of exciting out on the construction site today.  Drilling for the elevator shafts is underway.

Revised Design Review Board Submittal

As we refine the plans for the project, the Island Gateway team made a minor revision to the design for the commercial buildings along the central plaza. The overall floor area of the project is less than originally proposed and the parking garage is reduced in size. Island Gateway submitted a request to the Department of Planning and Community Development to approve this revision to the approved Site Plan Review. We also asked the Design Review Board to comment on the revision.
