The Town Center project is moving right along. I was at Target this morning, and saw quite a bit of progress. The framing has begun for the residential units over retail that will be built on both sides of McKinley Avenue, between Taaffe and Mathilda, and on Washington, east of Mathilda. Eventually, these units will be four stories tall, above the retail shops. Street level slabs for the office buildings along Aries Way are nearly done, and construction should start this summer.
Erection of the steel frames for the retail buildings that will surround Redwood Square, south of Macy's, will start this week, so maybe a 2009 opening isn't a dream, after all.
Be prepared for lane closures. The right hand lane of northbound Mathilda between Iowa and Washington will be closed for a year to accommodate trucks and construction materials, and further closures...more northbound lanes on Mathilda and sections of Iowa...are expected. Wolfe, Fairoaks or Lawrence may be a better choice for a while.
