The thing is, I've seen no evidence of it going up.
There are pictures of the new building all around the site of what it will look like. There's even a number to call if you want to buy one of their luxury condos that aren't even there yet. They range from $625,000 to 7.5 million which will make my building seem like a slum.
For the past four months I've heard construction going on, but have yet to see any evidence of condos. They have this one very loud machine that goes ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk all day long that's just about to drive me insane. It goes something like this:
ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . .
Pause . . .
. . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . .
Next day:
. . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . .
Next month:
. . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . .
Four months later:
. . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . . ka-chunk . .
One would think that after four months of ka-chunking that there'd be something there, but no. The site looks just the same as when it began as evidenced by this pic I took this morning.
I understand that an 81 story building requires quite a bit of foundation work. However, on the other side of my building, Donald Trump's new 94 story building is shooting up in the sky with no ka-chunking going on.
If this continues I'm just going to have to visit the site and ask them what the hell they're doing down there.
