Sitework made a big leap in July with curbs and sidewalks going in and siding work completing on Broadrock and Cascara. Broadrock finalized units (from the top down) in preparation for punch starting the second week of August, and pavers installation on the amenity deck started, looking to finish up later this month. Cascara is following closely about 2-3 weeks behind Broadrock, with all balconies there completing install in July. Our Sitka is now a beautiful green hue to really show off that tree motif, thanks to intensive exterior painting efforts throughout July. Klipsan finalized its WRB wrapping and is beginning exterior siding installation. Looking ahead, August will be busy with curbs and sidewalk work continuing, overhead doors installation starting, and hopefully launching pre-leasing efforts. It is exciting to see the buildings start to match their renderings from years ago!

June was busy for site work, with sidewalk grading continuing around the Phase I areas and form/pour ongoing. In addition, the splash pad broke ground, and excavation work is happening in earnest for storm drains and deep utilities. For the buildings, Broadrock is wrapping up its interiors and is getting ready for its first punch walks and final cleans in July, which is very exciting! Cascara is similarly wrapping up closely behind, with construction punches and final cleans following in close succession to Broadrock. Once final cleans are done, units will be taped off until opening. Sitka got its storefront frames and glass installed and is prepping for exterior paint in the coming weeks, which is fantastic as the tree motif will really take form with the green paint slowly spreading across the facade this month. Finally, Klipsan finalized MEP rough-ins and set tubs and sprinklers, as well as finished full waterproof membrane, with masonry install starting at the end of the month and continuing into July.

May work continued inside Broadrock and Cascara, with more progress on the exterior of Sitka and Klipsan. While last month was progressive, we had a lot of activity just in the last 2 weeks – our switchgear was fully installed, which means we have permanent power across all buildings! This is huge as our team expertly navigated switchgear delivery delays, but now it allows us to power the buildings including lights, HVAC, and the elevator, which recently started going in. Broadrock elevators should wrap up installation this week, with the team moving to install Cascara’s next. Elevators for the last 2 buildings are currently en route via truck from the east coast for installation later this month. In the meantime, the exterior panels for Sitka will start painting once we get a stretch of dry weather and that special green tone of the tree motif will start to appear up the sides of the building. Klipsan is rapidly undergoing WRB wrapping and will finish up in the coming weeks. Balcony installation began on Broadrock this week, adding layered dimension to the exterior look that is very cool. We look forward to the summer and are hoping things don’t get too hot out there!

April was another productive month at Hyas Point. Broadrock (Building C) is full speed ahead – Levels 5 and 6 completed accessories and appliance installation, with those floors ready for final cleaning in short order, and subcontractors continue to work down the building to get all the floors complete. As units get final cleaning, they will be tarped to preserve cleanliness until opening! Cascara (Building D) is right behind Broadrock with tile and paint finishing up on Level 6, with accessories and appliances to follow in the coming weeks. Sitka (Building B) continues with soffits and drywall in preparation for cabinets, and Klipsan (Building A) has windows going in to close up the building for interior work to begin soon.

March had days of both torrential downpours and 70-degree sunshine, and now that we are waterproofing the final building, we are really seeing most of the work now happening inside the buildings. Apartments are coming together and looking closer and closer to move-in ready. Exterior facades are also going up, which is fun because the buildings start to really look like the renderings. April will continue to see heavy interior work continue as the subcontractors move through floor by floor to get the apartments ready for cabinets and paint. So, while the live stream might not look too exciting these days, we can assure you there is a lot of activity happening behind closed doors!

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.
