Cool, I'll have to get my butt over to that side of the river before it get too cold.

The pool on this thing is going to be the best.

I'd been wondering that. So the area in the middle of the U-shaped area will be a pool?

They've started the stonework on the two-story townhomes (area under the pool area).

The exterior of the east portion of the building is coming along nicely.

Check out the names of the floor plans: http://millandmain.com/floorplans/3rd-floor/

I linked to the 3rd floor so you can check out the layout of the pool and community areas.
Some of the other floors have a plan called "Martin". Judith Martin?

Awwwwwwwe!!! That's cool.

I forgot, will there be first floor retail in this building?

Nope. Hopefully they'll add some to the second phase of the project.

Not much different than what dmdhashw posted, but I threw up a few updates here. The facade is starting to go up, and I would say the stone-like stuff looks okay. This first phase has darker brick than I was expecting based on the rendering. I think the second phase will look nicer and lighter.

I put some pictures up on my site: http://tomabouttown.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/mill-main/

What's the status on 520 S 2nd next door? That's one of the ones I'm most excited to see how it's going to turn out!

Great shots by the way! You have this ability to make the pictures look like 40 years old and yet timeless.

Oh Kelly you're so sassy.

This is topped out.

Is phase two for this supposed to go on Main Street, between this and the A Loft building? Or would it go behind this?

It'll be on Main Street. They've already done some demolition of additional buildings in preparation of construction.

Here's some info I posted about it earlier in the thread:

New site plans. A little bland but it looks nice.

Is that a woonerf between the grain elevators and the 'A' Mill/phase 2?! I like.

Does anybody know if they're going to bury those power lines?

what the heck is a woonerf?

Thank you for introducing me to a hilarious new word.
