Hotel Construction Progress:

At the Hotel tower, most of the exterior construction is complete except for the areas where the exterior man lift elevator will be coming down.  Cementitious paneling and brick at both the south and east elevations will finish up this month.  Decorative cornice install continues along the upper bands of the building as well as accent metal work at both the north courtyards and lanterns.  By mid-March the exterior man lift will be removed and fill in work at these rooms on the Southeast corner will progress starting with levels 11-12 and then back down to level 1.  Work also continues this month on the porte cochere canopy at the main entry with electrical rough-in and framing taking place currently with metal panel install to follow.  With waterproofing complete on the exterior decks, planters and pavers are going in at the outdoor terraces at level 3 and level 8.
