Great pics, thanks

Storm last night knocked several of the prefab walls off the 6th story that hadn't been capped with the roof. Picking the splinters and window shards off the train tracks this morning.

I noticed that on my drive in on Washington this morning. There is what looks like wet bits of sheetrock all over the street. Oops!

I love this project. Rode past the area on my bike a few weeks ago and was surprised how far along things are. It's nice when developers pick a small space like this that most people wouldn't even consider and plot a building like this in.

Biked by last night and snapped this pic. Then I doubled back on the bike trail and went under Target Field for the first time. How many freight trains a day does this segment see? They are not quiet. Between the engines and the constant screeching of the wheels/brakes, I'd not be the least bit surprised if they rattled the windows on this place. I sure as heck wouldn't want a first floor apartment here facing the RR tracks.

Personally I'd love to watch them all day. Some of us sit on the patio at Darby's just to get the same effect.

I was thinking the same thing! HOWEVER, my wife's father lives in La Crosse, WI and his house is right next to (what must be) the BNSF route between Minneapolis and Chicago, and when those freight trains 2 boxcars high roar past at 60-70 mph, BOY is it loud and obnoxious! Luckily here the trains will be rolling at a crawl, but I can appreciate how loud they are. They're still super cool though!

I have friends at Rock Island on the 6th floor and they are VERY loud there. I can't imagine how it would be in a wooden building.

A bunch of brick going up on the track side of this one now, should fill a pretty big gap in a nice way!

I've seen the brick on the tracks side of the building. I want to know what the whitish blue panels that I saw on the drawing at IDS really look like. Or will this just be a white cement board?

Nice. I like how some of these developments are framing/have been build up surrounding the rail line!

[mulad]

Ah, they are going with "Dock Street Flats" (as opposed to "Apartments") for this one, I see.

[MNdible]

Perhaps playing off of the "railroad flat" idea? Although I'm sure the units won't actually be railroad flats.

I really like the pattern on the silver paneling! Interestingly enough, I went by both this and Walked up the Mall in Uptown, where they were starting to put the exact same paneling, but in a darker color, on the back of the Walker Library...
