It was going to be more dense but the condo building next door hired Harden to complain enough so they made it less dense. They are also the ones building the riverwalk on their land that Boyer was very proud of.

The actual density is probably the same or close to the original. One way you can do this is to reduce the number of overall units but increase the number of bedrooms in the remaining units.

Let's give it 4 more months and this project will get reduced to a single home.

I've never see a project go through reduction after reduction in scope as this one has.

Yes, they'll start construction in July or August, according to the linked article.

Reviving this thread as it appears they are close to completion. However i do not remember there being a crane involved. Did they use one?
Was this stick built or concrete block? Anyone know?

Just took pictures this morning for a construction update article this week. Looks like it has a way to go. Also, it's stick built with a parking garage in the middle.

There was a crane but they took it down after the deck and concrete work was done.
