Lofts@SixMileCreek, the name for the Cayuga Place/Cayuga Green 2 project is now official, and the top-out ceremony is this coming Thursday, October 2nd at noon (12:00). Topping-out (or “topping off”) is when a building’s structural assembly is complete, generally when the highest point of the structure is finished.
The 7-story, 45-unit, 49,244 GSF project from Bloomfield/Schon + Partners out of Cincinnati, Ohio has been moving right along, as the final columns and beams of the structure are craned-in and secured, and concrete plank floors are installed this week and next. The ground floor has been levelled and plastic sheeting and steel mesh has been put down to prepare for a concrete pour for the slab floor. The core assembly began back in July, with the steel assembly following-up in early August. The project is being constructed by Turnbull-Wahlert Construction.
Here’s the Press Release announcement:
