Thanks for doing the hard work for me
The problem with being an introvert online is that no one knows you're just hanging out and listening.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Transit station progress. Looks like operator rest space is near completion. Inner parking spaces are paved.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
The apartments being built by Stuarco on the SE corner are starting to make good progress. The decking is up to ground level now and they are pouring concrete for the stairwells at about 3 stories right now.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Looks like the rising concrete forms are for the six story building along York.
Re: Southdale Center - Edina
I thought that the 10 story was facing York? I saw two different stair wells up to about 2-3 stories out of the ground where that building is.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
They have installed the stationary crane for this project now. Looks like the lower levels were precast on this one, wonder if they'll continue that for the rest of the project?
Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Too bad this apartment project doesn't have any sort of lighting on the top of it like the Covington in Bloomington does.

yup, you're completely right. My mistake!I thought that the 10 story was facing York? I saw two different stair wells up to about 2-3 stories out of the ground where that building is.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Neat. Glad they're continuing to do this and other redevelopments of these sprawling parking lots. Was there another property in play right now also? The former Wicke's furniture store location or something?

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Why does concrete and steel pencil out in the suburbs, but not in the city of Minneapolis? Do these developments include underground parking, or is it surface lots around the building?

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
There was one or two levels of underground parking for residents of these Southdale apartments.
Also, the southdale bus station is operating.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Those are just the elevator shafts; the rest of the building might be wood?
For example, the Genevese project at Penn and American Blvd had these very tall elevator shafts, but I think it was completely stick besides that.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Nope. If it is over 6 stories, it is steel framing or post-tension concrete - not wood.
Re: Southdale Center - Edina
I know this to be true, and yet... Gpete is correct that there was something weird going on at the Genesee project. I wasn't able to get down there regularly enough to figure out what was actually going on, but it was an unusual project that seemed to break some of standard rules of thumb.Nope. If it is over 6 stories, it is steel framing or post-tension concrete - not wood.

Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Not necessarily weird at all to have tall elevator shafts. Not sure what "tall" means...the total height of the building? Partial height? Typically shafts are used as "shear walls" to resist lateral forces in a building so the height of a shaft could be determined by that. They may have used the entire height of the building to leverage the shear strength of a reinforced concrete shaft. Once you get to a certain height with a reinforced, poured concrete shaft, it probably makes sense to just do the whole thing. There are also pressurization issues in vertical shafts associated with "tall" buildings which may have determined that the whole shaft be reinforced CIP concrete...Genesee doesn't seem tall enough to require pressurized shafts but maybe...
Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Weird to have cast-in-place concrete (or CMU) elevator cores that are built full height ahead of any other construction if you assume that the building is too tall to be stick framed. Residential is very rarely steel construction, so that leaves concrete construction. It could be all precast construction, but that's usually too bulky for residential.
Like I said, I wasn't able to snoop around the Genesee site too much, but it was (if memory serves) an 8 story project that had elevator shafts topped out ahead of the rest of construction.

Parking Levels (underground and grade level) = Concrete floors, beams and columns (precast is cheaper, post-tension is more expensive)
Level 1 (grade): Concrete (see above). Walls are "non-combustible" = steel studs
Level 2 (FLOOR ONLY): Concrete - this is the "transfer floor" for the loads from above. This will *almost always* be a continuous "plate" matching the footprint of the building below).
2-6: Stick frame

2 through 8-10: Steel Stud load bearing walls
If taller than 10 stories,this is where the economies start to come into play and when it makes sense to do post-tension concrete structure throughout (see Nic on Fifth, LPM, etc).
Re: Southdale Center - Edina
Yeah, it's the 8-10 story stuff that is exotic around here -- makes sense that it's steel studs. But that will make your thermal envelope more difficult because steel studs conduct heat like crazy -- it's starting to become a commercial type system.
