Construction Report: May, 2001
By Kacey Callinan, Assistant Project Manager



I am pleased to report that our framing has begun on the first of the eight buildings at Iron Horse Lofts! This structure will house the new Sales Office and Models and will be the first building to be finished. We’ll soon be steaming through the rest of the buildings - and for those of you that have peered over the Las Juntas Way gates, you’ll know that we’re already up to the second floor of the Sales Office and Models!

This is a very exciting time in construction terms. Framing can make or break a construction schedule, so it’s important that the framing crews are quick out of the blocks and gain a strong momentum through the site. It’s also the first time that we actually start to see your lofts taking shape. It’s the time when all the architectural blueprints come to life!

Running ahead of the framing are the foundation crews who now have their second building pad poured (Building VII), and more than half the foundation layouts are now complete. The only underground service yet to start is what we call the “joint trench” - it’s what PG&E dig to lay all your electrical, gas, cable and telephone cables. The storm drains, sanitary sewer and water lines are all installed, so the majority of work from this point forward will be above ground and visible for us all to see - even from the street!

With all the excitement I’m hearing in the community about our Iron Horse Lofts, I know you’re all bursting to come and view the models, so rest assured that I’m keeping your Construction Superintendent on his toes to make sure we meet our marketing team’s summer Grand Opening plans!
