It will soon become very noisy, until late.

8 am on a saturday morning? Drilling? Can they possibly have an argument as to why this is remotely necessary?

By the way, biked by this morning. I counted 8 stories so far on the shorter portion of the building. That's already taller than the picture. Mr. Oder, what say you?

My wife and I were walking by Friday night, and the construction site was making all sorts of noise in the wind. It didn't look secure, and there was someone there recording video. Anyone who live near there know anything about this?

When this project began, FCP was required to hire local workers.

In response, it agreed to make one of the buildings composed of modular units and construct them at the Navy Yard. Some people claimed that this would foster similar projects in the future.

Well, I hope they were looking into the distant future, because it seems this method of constructing buildings is economically not feasible to the degree that the Navy Yard facility will be closed once the building is completed.

Here's press on how the first building has now topped out.
