Post Thanksgiving update

Digging started this week for some of the new drainage that is being put in. Flooding has been an issue for the City Center and Hotel in the past, so we are all very excited for the new drains!


As promised in the last two posts... here are the before and after pictures of the loggia!

Sidewalks and Bricks! Oh My!

Now that the Loggia columns are gone, the fencing has been move back on Broadway to allow for some sidewalk space. Up next.... cleaning up the giant pile of bricks that are the remains of the columns.

Stay tuned for photos of the final columns coming down... first though we have to remember to move the pictures from the camera to the computer.

Loggia

The column removal is expected to be complete by the end of the week! Check back for some cool before and after photos.

Demolition Update

The debris pile keeps growing as work continues on the removal of the Loggia Columns. Brick on the Ellsworth Jones Place side of the building have also started to be removed.

Also... check the side column of the blog for updates on the entrance to the building and parking.

Demolition Continues

Brick by brick the loggia columns are coming down. Our demolition/construction crew has been hard at work since the pyramids came down strategically removing the columns that held them up and cleaning up the debris. Check back next week for more demolition pictures and excitement as the last column comes down.

Now the real demolition begins

If you've driven past the City Center lately you might have noticed that bricks have been coming down... slowly but surely. Yesterday the real work began when each of the 9 copper pyramids on the roof of the loggia were removed. The pictures to the right were taken by City Center Staff Members. The Saratogian also caught the action.
