Less than a week after we provided an update on 19th and Chestnut, construction kicked off for this 13-story project in Union Station. Present-day, a fence now wraps around the project site with site prep underway. Since there will be minimal underground work, this building will be anchored by several dozen piers which are currently being drilled by the blue pier drilling rig.

Here are some photos around the site showing the current progress of the project.

The last remaining parcels for development in Union Station sit at 19th and Chestnut. This project will take the back-most lot which will add some great density to the north side of 19th Street. This leaves the gravel lot at the intersection as the last parcel of land to be developed.

Speaking of that last gravel lot, Union Station deserves a great “last” project. Wouldn’t it be neat if this lot got rezoned to 30 stories and a Confluence-sized tower, or point tower was built? Regardless, it’s very exciting to see 19th and Chestnut get underway.
