Willa’s construction schedule was delayed due to COVID-19. The City of Austin’s Shelter in Place ordinance temporarily shut down construction, followed by labor and material shortages. Scheduled construction completion (Temporary Certificate of Occupancy) for October 2020.
Despite the constraints in Q2, there was great progress achieved on site including: flat work / sidewalk along S 1st and Monroe – construction sidewalk removed. It looks excellent!
HVAC system on level 4 expected to be operational by end of June.
Up next: Cabinets, countertops, and flooring installation.
