More Construction Buzz

They're doing more excavating for the footings next door. Kinley ran around the foot-deep hole this weekend since they forgot to enclose it. He found it incredibly exciting. When I left this morning, they were digging around the perimeter and moving the construction fence.

We also heard from a neighbor that the white building down the street (long strip of buildings housing Hungry Tiger, a laundromat and the empty-for-two-years once-Fairly Honest Bill's) will be torn down and replaced with a new four-story mixed-use building. We're talking 4 retail spaces (Hungry Tiger is coming back with 3 other yet-to-be-determined leasers. They have enclosed parking inside/underneath and ~36 condos over the retail space. We got to see the architectural plans and it looks like something they would have built in the Pearl. I have no idea when this project is getting off the ground. Interesting.
