We were able to take the skip (a specialized waste container that holds construction debris) down because two out of the three elevators in the hotel are now up and running. Now that the skip has come down the paneling on the north side of the building will be finished and the upper floors of the building will be completely enclosed shortly after. Below are several photos that capture this phase:

Check In Here
Welcome! We’re pleased to share an update on our lobby – where you’ll check in and we’ll welcome you. Many argue the hotel lobby is the most important space in a hotel. We understand that thinking – it’s our first impression and last impression. Plus, it is a common meeting and gathering place. So needless to say, we get it. And to no surprise, we’re sparing nothing on our lobby.
We look forward to greeting you in the lobby in February 2014!
Here’s a couple shots of our lobby, underway:
Our lobby will include a chandelier as well – you can see the outline of it here:
Going up!
This #SiteVisit Friday we have another new development to unveil: elevators!
This is one of three elevators at The Godfrey, however this is the main set of elevators for our guests. These guys reside in the lobby and will be getting lots of use soon.
They will be up and running in no time. Stay tuned for more #SiteVisit updates!
Today We Vlog
On this #SiteVisit post we started vlogging, also known as video blogging.
The video is in keeping with our window theme as of late. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Window Installation 101
Do you ever wonder how windows are installed?
Thanks to this handy window suction device we’re able to securely install each window on the exterior of the building:
There’s a motor on the unit that raises and lowers the windows that are attached to the device. There are three suctions total that attach to each window. It’s quite an efficient mechanism that gets the job done safely.
