Centric Hotel, 20 stories, 252 rooms, 8,000 s. ft. retail, March, 2019 start, C.B. Ragland, 200 Molloy St. (2nd Ave South & Molloy)

I would think they will move utilities right away because the footprint of the hotel extends into the current road, but not sure if they will repave the road or wait as the construction process will probably require area around the site. Seems silly to pave a street only to close it and have a crane and have trucks on it which could ruin it.

Not with those massive construction trailers there.  They seem to be in the way of the straightened out of Molloy.

I've looked at the location and they are sitting at the edge of a new Molloy. I have a feeling that Molloy will be closed throughout construction and not reopended until it's complete.

You would be correct. 

The tower crane is going to be in the middle of the current Malloy street. I’d imagine that repaving Malloy and moving the sidewalks will be done last. They’ve been doing a lot of utility related work around the site for quite some time.

Yes, they are going to do the realignment of Malloy at the same time and  JE Dunn Seems to be handling both. I asked one of the Forman on site the other day.

There is a painted square with 5 circles in the middle of Molloy..........in between the white and blue truck in the last pic posted.  Has been there a week or so, but could be where the foundation for the crane is going.

What's going on there? Is she being talked off a ledge?

[CenterHill]

^  whoa, was admiring the urban view and totally missed that.   wtf

The picture was taken about a year ago by another maddening individual.  A group of kids decided to make their own balcony by climbing out of one of the windows.......some were climbing over to the rail to the adjacent balcony.    Havent seen that happen since........just thought i'd share the stupidity.  

[nashvylle]

so F'ing dumb.

Molloy is now closed between 2nd and 3rd.  One lane of 2nd is also going away. 

Pinch point in front of 222 with the 2nd Ave lane next to the building essentially a loading zone leaving just one lane open......

Crane tower base work has begun

[Bark At The Sun]

Went to Gino's East for lunch today....open at 11am.  Apparently they have had lunch hours for a couple of weeks now.  Very good!

Am pretty sure most that view this thread also look at the Drury one, but wanted to pass the info along

[Bark At The Sun]

Crane tower pad and foundation looking better today.  I haven't seen one placed in the middle of a road before.

[Salbato]

Well you don't see that every day. They are literally in the middle of the street.

^ ^ ^ Molloy Street will be relocated about 15 feet to the south in order to straighten it between 2nd Ave. and 3rd Ave.   This is all part of the plan.  Ragland owns both parcels on either side of Malloy, so there was no issue in getting parties to agree.  Not sure why the dogleg happened in the first place a hundred years ago.

Makes me sad.  I love crooked streets.

Looking east from 3rd Ave. South, just north of Molloy St:

No worries... It will still be crooked by the Hyatt Place Hotel.

Is that tower crane pad surrounded by pillars? Is that part of the hotel structure? I don't think I've seen that before.

Extra support for the crane tower.  They started some of the steel support/foundation for the hotel over towards the Sobro garage/3rd ave.
