Bloc 83 - One Glenwood, Two Hillsborough, and Phase 3

any word on what the crane was for?

That’s going to be a continuous issue for the LL to address. There’s a new building in Miami with millions of lights, and there are panels that are out on it already. What a nightmare to have to manage.

I just drove by and didn’t see anything different on the faces of the buildings. Must’ve been something for the rooftop.

They were probably trying to install the rest of the Smoky Hollo[w] sign on it and realized they are just terrible at their job…

Maybe they were fixing the LED lights? They seemed to be all working last night

Oh nice! They’re actually adding that signage from the renderings at least!

When are they going to plant some kudzu to cover up the rest of it?

With kudzu it will be unrecognizable by the end of the summer :slight_smile:

But a monster built of chicken wire on the top corner and let the kudzu grow over it - that could be pretty awesome.
When I was at Ole Miss in the 90’s, the abandoned railroad cut as you entered campus was a kudzu sea. Some bright art student put 3 dolphin sculptures frolicking in the kudzu, it was really very effective, lol.

It doesn’t eliminate the deck, but a planted screening sure softens things.

That looks amazing!!! I like how they designed this parking deck. This one does not need to be covered up it looks like an actual new building.

Still would like a new building on top of it!

Crazy talk. Have you seen the shadows such buildings produce???

I disagree. The screening/cladding on the Hillsborough facade is a mess.
