February brought rainy weather with some sunshine breaks, and it was a busy month with framing nearing its end with the completion of the lofted roofs at Klipsan (Building A). The view from the loft units – the final ones completed – are quite spectacular! Broadrock (Building C) and Cascara (Building D) are both wrapping up their final floor of drywall, and the exterior siding is going up across both buildings, both up on the upper floors as well as down at the storefront level. Cabinets started installing inside Broadrock and we are getting very regular deliveries on site as the buildings seal up and the units start looking livable. With daylight savings in a few days and the start of spring on the horizon, we look forward to a drier site and more daylight hours.

January was a busy one for framing on Klipsan (Building A), which just topped out last week, and the incredible lofted roof trusses are going up in earnest. Klipsan framing will complete in February, and then structural work will complete across Hyas Point – incredible! While things might have looked quiet on the outside of Broadrock and Cascara, there was a lot happening on the inside, with utilities infrastructure pulling down the building and drywall work beginning. We are getting an increase of interest in commercial space, so be sure to reach out if you know anyone who might want to have a business at Hyas Point.

December was a busy month with framing wrapping up. What you might not see in the pictures is the work happening inside Broadrock, with all windows installed and plumbing and electrical finishing up in preparation for drywall, which started on the last week of the month up on the very top floor. Storefront is starting to go in at the ground floor level there as well, which is exciting as tours for interested commercial tenants continue (if you are interested, send an inquiry through our Contact Us page or contact our commercial brokers directly). Meanwhile, inside Cascara, plumbing and electrical is installing in earnest, with windows also going in to close up the building. In exciting news, Sitka topped out in December and is preparing for interior work, and Klipsan framing continues toward top out as well. We had a slow couple of weeks to end the year, but the site is full speed ahead to start 2026 as our subcontractors head inside. Happy New Year!

Construction at Hyas Point in November was an exciting one, with the top out of both Cascara (Building D) and Sitka (Building B) taking place. The framing crews are working very hard rain or shine, and the pace has not stopped, as evidenced by the rapid vertical progress. It is very exciting to see these buildings take form and start closing up, which signals the start of interior work. The aim is for Klipsan (Building A) to top out by the end of the year, which is an unbelievable schedule for our framers to top out 4 buildings within 6 months. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we are so grateful for all our subcontractors, consultants, and partners for all of their hard work, and we look forward to finishing out the year on a high note.

October was all framing, framing, framing (with some concrete). The biggest milestone hit in October was the “top out” where our crews reached the roof of the first building, Broadrock. This is important because it allows for the “closing” of the building and signals the start of window installation, which will further insulate the inside from the elements to allow for interior work to begin. As the fall season continues and rain becomes a regular friend, our framing crews work diligently to top out the remaining buildings so interior work can begin in earnest in the new year. We are grateful to the many community members and leaders who attended our Top Out event on Halloween to close out the month as we head into holiday season.

In September, we encountered our first weather challenges in a very long time! While some concrete pours had to jump around in schedule due to rain, we remain on track and continue blazing full speed ahead. Concrete was the big driver in September with pours happening at different times across multiple buildings and framing following quickly behind. As concrete approaches its end with the final pours for Sitka and Klipsan buildings continuing through October, framing continues to make significant gains, with Broadrock building reaching the very top floor with anticipation of “topping out” that building later this month. October will continue to be all about framing as concrete phases out. We look forward to cooler weather ahead as the buildings take form!

August was a very busy month for framing, which kicked into high gear. Broadrock building is currently framing up Level 4, while neighboring Cascara building is framing Level 2. Sitka, which has 2 post-tension (PT) decks in its design as a 4-over-2 mixed-use building with the 2^nd floor being office, is currently working on the second PT concrete deck pours, while Klipsan building just completed its slab on grade. Structural work is the intensive work happening on site right now, and will continue for several months as framing continues. There was also a lot of progress on the sitework as it relates to streets and curbs, which were poured in mid-August. With the streets and curbs in place, the site is starting to feel more finished. We have many subcontractors on site every day, keeping things busy and lively out at Hyas Point!
