The materials platform over the street between the Knight and the Mint is being taken down today.....it was mostly down at 9am when I saw it.

^I imagine that it won't be long before the crane comes down too?

I was up on 31 today so I took this:

Where do all the HVAC units go for a building like this if they can't put them on the roof?

This topic and others, from a memo at work:

·         During the weeks of July 25 and Aug. 1, the scaffolding and crane used during the residential construction over the Mint Street Museum will be removed. This work is expected to be completed during the first week of August.

 

 

·         Beginning Saturday, July 30, the sidewalk in front of Starbucks and Levant Mediterranean will be closed, as the construction team removes the Tower crane. This closure is expected to continue through next week and be complete on Sunday, August 7. In addition, over the next several weeks, construction crews will remove equipment from Levine Avenue for the Arts and reinstall benches and trash cans in preparation for reopening the street to traffic.

 

 

·         Monday, Aug. 1, construction crews will begin erecting scaffolding over the two outside staircases of the Mint Street Parking deck. This is the first phase of refurbishing efforts that will take place on the parking deck stairway handrails and stairs. Internal stairwells and elevators will not be impacted by this construction. Efforts are expected to be complete by the first week of Sept.

 

·         Beginning Saturday, Aug 6, the protective cover over the sidewalk from the front entrance of the Energy Center (located at 526 South Church Street) to the corner of Levine Avenue for the Arts will be removed. Work will be complete within 4-5 days.

Heyooooo. That's awesome!!

I really think that Reid's is going to land in the E2 spot.

Their base is really in the Fourth Ward.  My understanding is that Public is out of the mix for the Skyhouse site, and Reid's would be very welcomed there, more of a Dean and Deluca store than a full grocer.

The space would be WAY to big for Reid's, and Publix is still in but that project is on hold.

That was taken about 20 minutes prior to kickoff. The lower bowl was full for the game but attendance still seemed to be lower than previous years.

I'd like to know the answer to this. I've always wondered with high rises.

I'm not 100% about this and there's probably someone who actually knows, but I think they will do 1 of 2 things. Either have in Wall units conceled or have a giant penthouse room with all the units

For Trademark we have two industrial chillers on the roof for the building.  Each unit then has a geothermal pump in my utlity closet where the washer dryer and hot water heater is ...https://www.americanstandardair.com/products/heating-and-cooling/geothermal.html

had to replace mine 2 years ago ~ $7k

Geo-thermal unit meaning a loop underground circulating liquid to extract and expel heat? Underground?

Nope.  The individual units work with the two things on the roof.

[videtur quam contuor]

The use of geo- was what misled me. There is no ground source loop.

Sometimes they even go below the sidewalk of the building and basement.  That's how it is where I work here in Boston.

They are now working on the South Tryon side of the roof
