Building 700 Approaches Completion



Cabinets Being Installed in Building 700

It is March 31, and progress on the second phase of Claysville Landing is moving ahead rapidly despite the wet weather.  Progress has been so great that we expect the first 16 units, located in building 700, see the artist rendering, should be released at the end of April for occupancy in May.  I know there are people out there who have put deposits down on these new units, and this will come as welcome news.

Buildings 800, Left and 700 Far right



As always, pictures speak 1000 words, and so I have included pictures of our progress.  As of March 31 the suites in Building 700 are being trimmed out as it nears completion.  That means the suites are being painted, cabinets and light fixtures are being installed.  Flooring, carpeting, and all the other things that transforms a space into a home are being installed.

Preparing for Building 900

Meanwhile, building 800, which has 24  units, proceeds along right behind building 700.  It is interesting to watch the construction progress.  It resembles a wave as construction moves along from one building to another.  The above picture illustrates this nicely as the construction progress moves from building 700 on the far right to building 800 on the left.

Site Work for Buildings 1100 and 1200

As construction continues on buildings 700 and 800, the ground is being prepared for building 900, as seen above.  Here the worker on the tractor is raking the ground to turn it so it can dry out enough to pour the concrete that will make up the foundation of the building.  At the same time the sites for buildings 1100 and 1200, shown on the right, are being built up in layers to the right height.  Once that is done, it will be dried in the same way and footers and slabs poured.

Watch future posts for updates to the construction and other exciting things that makes Claysville Landing the place to live.  How about a real, honest to goodness dog park?!!  Yes, a place your dog can play off the leash in a secure area designed just for dogs.  Even better, it is the only one in the Elizabethtown area, and it's only at Claysville Landing.

A project like this involves a lot of people working as a team to make it a reality.  I will highlight some of those people in future posts.  Like a jigsaw puzzle, there are a lot of pieces that have to fit together in a certain way, and without the knowledge and skills of our team members, we would still be looking at an empty field instead of a place people can call home.
