Tower 1 construction progresses this month with the main focus on the lower lobby areas and restrooms going up the tower. The tower restrooms have tile complete with countertops, fixtures, and partitions to follow. Sheet rock install is ongoing at the common areas along with the beginning of paint. The structure for the slatted wood ceiling is now being installed around the skylight in the main lobby. In addition, the metal stair stringers are going in from the ground level vestibule up to the Level 1 main lobby area. The management offices at the ground floor have also begun MEPF rough-in.

With this use, the temporary man-lift for Tower 1 will be dismantled by the end of month so that these concrete slabs can be filled moving up the tower. Mechanical screen work at the roof is nearly complete. The pavers and finishes at the Level 4 terraces are complete as the level 5 to level 8 exterior balconies continue this month with the install of the stainless handrails and storefront glazing.

The road improvements for Lake Washington Boulevard started at the end of last month.  The construction when complete will widen the entry road to the Southport campus to 4 lanes.  Hillside gabion walls and an enlarged stream bed need to be completed prior to paving.  The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year.
