Today crews are finishing erecting
the second of two cranes that will be used to build the two 41 story condo
towers, called Insignia Towers, in the Denny Triangle neighborhood. It's amazing seeing how these
brave workers crane the pieces into position hundreds of feet up in the
air! It takes a huge mobile crane to build and erect the onsite crane
that will build the foundation and condo tower for the north building. Wild
right!?
I plan to give periodic updates on the the construction process of Insignia to
help illustrate how condo towers are built and constructed. Plus
I'm a sucker for big machinery, and the whole high-rise construction process
myself.
As mentioned in our previous posts, the south tower will be built first and the
developer has indicated they will start marketing them likely Summer or Fall of
2013, with the entire project taking a total of three years to complete.
It is not yet known exactly when they plan to release any pricing or start pre-sales
but Wendy's last interview with them in August indicated they were likely at
least 18 months away from that at that time. That would roughly be
early 2014.
