April’s construction activity

It has been another busy month for the team working on the new City Hall. The team completed the third level floor and columns and started working on the fourth level.

What to expect in May

Crews will finish the fourth level work and start work on the fifth level. Another team will start layout and framing the interior walls for the basement. The contractor will also begin constructing the steel Brise Soleil.

What is a Brise Soleil?

Brise Soleil is a French term that directly translates to “sun breaker”. It is also the name given to an architectural feature that acts as a solar shading system. The Brise Soleil is a series of horizontal and/or vertical blades that help control the amount of sunlight and heat gain to a building. The Brise Soleil will shade the new City Hall terraces.

The contractor is also scheduled to start installing the precast outer shell of the building sometime this May. More to come in the next few weeks on this exciting addition to the building.

I hope so. Do we know what the final height is? 17 stories but how many feet?

265 feet, according to my sources (Google)

The first 3 stories appear to be double height, so the rest won’t be this tall.

17 Likes

So it’ll be about as tall as Skyhouse?
