Granby Tower

:-)

What happens if they don't get any bites? Hopefully they will continue to build. Materials should be cheaper now.

I wonder how many of the folks who will be having their offices move to the new Wachovia Center are now giving thought to moving to Granby Tower for the convenience of living a block or two from where they work?

[Chesapeake Pirate]

And.......drum roll please......we begin the final week of pre-construction pricing !

There is talk of a real meeting @ Baxters next week.... It would be good if we laid down a day/time.

I believe later in the night was suggested.

Just let me know when, and I can walk over.

[NSUREDD]

I would like to be there but, it is in the middle of the day. As far as meeting at Baxter's just post a time.

Has there been any movement at the site?? They need to get ready for the groundbreaking.

Man I would love to be there for the ground breaking and the follow on party at Baxter's. Darn it sometimes I wished I did not live 190 miles from Norfolk.

Would anyone be against me recombining this with the old Granby Tower thread and just calling it "Granby Tower", and then once May 9th rolls around close that thread and make a "Granby Tower Progress" thread that we will actually have pictures in?

[RJWGMU]

That sounds like it would make sense... Otherwise there are 38 pages of "progess" that is slower than a sloth...

[Sky06]

I might try to take a long lunch and take a pic or two.

[vdogg]

Haha. Granby Tower, Granby Tower Progress, and Granby Tower Progress 2 and all been merged into 139 pages of nothing but hope and conjecture. On May 9th, this thread will be closed and archived and an actual progress thread, with real pictures and everything, will be created.

I doubt we'll be seeing any crane rides unless this wind slacks off.
