I'm not a construction expert, but one element of build time is the construction design. One choice is steel frame - just bolt together steel beams in a few days, then fill out the building. Another choice is poured-in-place concrete, like this building. Each floor must be poured and cured. Concrete pours are scheduled from 4:30 AM to 7:30 AM to minimize impact on downtown. They are scheduled to take at least through end of June just for concrete pours.
Really? Wow. The apartments on Rhett across from Riverplace went up fairly quick. It's only 2 floors shorter. Can't remember if it was concrete footers or not. At least it's in progress. That's what matters to me most.
LOL! But seriously, I'd say one more building in the downtown area (not on Main St. for heaven's sake!! ) about the size of the Landmark building would look REALLY good!
