They have not filed construction permits for the actual building yet. We're in the site prep phase of this thing; these are demolition permits. Look closely, this is a Homrich project at the moment. It's why SHoP, Hamilton Anderson Associates, and Barton Malow have been so quiet on their social media about this project; the design isn't done. It's probably we don't have a constrution cam of this, because it's not actually under construction, yet.

They'll file the construction permits when they need to; no need to file so early that you have them expire during the actual construction of the buildings. My guess is that we don't see stuff like the site plan review process and all that jazz formally filed until we're getting close to the end of the demo work, which actually shouldn't be that long away considering how quickly this has picked up. In any case, Gilbert has no reason to drag this out, and actually good incentive against having this drag this out.

Reposting the schedule, again:

We are at step 2, here, and still very much on schedule, maybe a little bit ahead, in fact, considering we've not even officially hit summer. Expect construction permits to be pulled no earlier than this fall, though. "Construction" on this project doesn't begin on until fall of this year.
