SouthShore photo update, 7/23/08

Most of the glass and exterior walls are installed on the first phase of the SouthShore project in Newport, and the parking garage is largely completed and is being used as a staging area.

Capital Investment Group is building the $165 million complex, which will include 150 residential units in two towers and a possible retail/office component, which will be dictated by market demand.

The second tower is unlikely to begin construction until the first one is sold out and the majority of the units in the second tower are pre-sold.

Please click on each image to enlarge to 640 x 480. Photos will open in a new browser window.

who would pay a ton of money for a condo in a building smack next to an eventual year+ long construction site?

I would, but, then again, I'm kind of weird that way.

Your good weird Kevin - I would too.
I think this building is really neat. It is big but not heavy and massive. It is graceful and sophisticated. It flows with the river like a sail. Even the name of it is simple and unpretentious. It is not your typical four sided box, it is not bizzare looking, nor does it look like a giant penis. Obviously some thought went into its' design. It makes the two almost matching buildings West of the Roebling bridge look like cardboard mock-ups.
I hope they will be able to build the second tower. Way to go Southshore.
