"The Edge" officially broke ground today. The architecture could make for some interesting construction updates.

Thanks, it'll be interesting to follow.

Yea I'm trying to keep up with a bunch of projects... it's fun to see as things slowly evolve. The North End is really interesting as it slowly comes down.

Twoaday, have you been updating the progress? I looked on your flick page and it doesn't seem like you have added anything new for a while.

Sorry it has been cold out! But I'll try and get done today or this weekend.

UPDATE Ok it might be a couple more days due to snow!

Ok i got out a took a couple photos today of the edge (as well as a few other projects). Looks like things are moving but slowly at the edge though it has been my experience that foundation work takes awhile and then things get really moving

Especially with the ground being frozen and all the snow. Not a good time to be starting foundation work. This scene might not change much until Spring.

Thanks Twoaday!

Yeah, the place looks deserted.

Well I did take the picture on Sunday. Actually I believe all these project will continue working even through the snow as the Breakwater and the Staybridge haven't stopped

Well it looks like the Edge is above ground now

it looks like something out of the 1970's.

It's really awesome to see how you guys still build during all the snow, something we don't need to worry about here in Florida.

I like the project, but it seems that they could had added a couple more floors to it, 6 justs seems too little for that sight, espicially being near the river with a great view.

It was originally planned to be taller but the neighborhood on the top of the hill fought them over the height.

What a shame.

Considering the plans for the area envisioned it to be a relatively (2-3 stories) low rise area, the building is high enough. It doesn't overwhelm the neighboring buildings along commerce street and it won't ruin the views from the park above.

Another plus is that it won't eat up all the demand for units in the area, ensuring we will see more buildings going up soon. Perhaps we'll be seeing this going up this summer - http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=475816

This is across from Union Point, correct??

Yea the building referenced in that article is across from Union Point.

It's interesting to see how each of these projects have completely different building methods. :D

the edge looks nice!! looks like a winner!:okay:

Good pics Twoaday, thanks for keeping this up to date!

Does anyone know if the second phase of The Edge is still being planned?

Does anyone know if the second phase of The Edge is still being planned?

I was wondering the same thing.

Sorry I haven't been able to get an answer on the second phase yet... I've got to think that will be delayed.

Is this project finished yet?

@Paule Oh yeah, people are living there now... They only built one of the two buildings, wise move, but yeah it has been done for awhile.

Ok, yeah I knew the building they were working on was done I was wondering about the other one. So they scraped the other building? I guess one being built is better than none being built. Thanks Two

Yeah. They didn't have the pre-sales to break ground on the second one. Considering the economy and all that was probably the best solution. Hopefully, when things improve they'll be able to do the second building.

Phase one is done... and as for phase 2, after seeing how the first phase actually turned out I am hoping they come up with a new idea for phase 2. I think they could do a better building than what they already have.
