Construction Update: February 15, 2008
Project Status: The roof has been installed (minus shingles) on the majority of the south tower. Sheet rockers and painters are hard at work in this area on the first floor and will be moving to the second floor shortly. The north tower first floor is protected by plastic and unit 101 has been framed. Erection of steel has started up to the fourth floor on the north tower. Masons have completed a large amount of exterior stone including all the south facing side of the building. They are currently installing stucco and wood trim on this section of the building. Scaffolding has been erected on the courtyard side of this part of the building.
Schedule: Vail just broke a record for snowfall for January. With over 24 feet of snow to date it has been quite a winter. The building schedule has been adjusted constantly to meet the winter challenges however, at this stage the project continues to meet baseline dates for delivery and RA Nelson is anticipating no problem with a late November delivery date. The building is not too far from being "dried in", and at that point weather should be less of a factor for the construction team.
Sales: All units are under contract. Two units have been listed for resale: a two bedroom ground floor unit listed at $3,290,000 and a three bedroom listed at $5,750,000.
Other Matters: The unit selection process is complete. We have distributed winter calendars for Willows owners and have our first owner reservations on the books for the upcoming Christmas/New Year's period.
