    Not necessarily financial troubles, just over budget on each of the three proposed developments. There will be a short delay while redesigns are made to bring them back within acceptable budget range. Who knows, maybe one of the projects gets shelved to provide the additional cap needed to proceed with the others...

    No, it's just an internal code for the city plan review.

    Typically, this is just an elevated/raised pedestrian walkway. The term "dock high" is likely referring to the actual height the walkway will be, which would be around 4'. These help corral and distribute the pedestrian traffic. In this instance I could be completely wrong, though. For reference...

    A source informed me that, per BuildPro/Captiva, this development isn't happening (at least not by them).

    The next two buildings that will be starting construction soon should round out Phase I. Building D: A 5-story office/retail building about 80,1470 square feet. It is planned to be 4 stories of office over one story of at-grade retail. Building H: This was originally planned as a 10-story office/retail building of about 300,000 square feet (9 stories of office over one story of at-grade office/retail). It is now a 5 level parking garage with 17,773 square feet of ground level retail. It will connect to the other parking garage that is being finished currently (Building G).

    You're correct. IBC (International Building Code) limits the height of wood framed structures to 5-stories. Adding floors results in added mass and wind surface area, which increases lateral forces for seismic and wind loads. Stronger structure and shear walls are need to increase strength, not to mention (accessibility) adding elevators, (life safety/egress) enclosed exit stairways, and (fire suppression) sprinkler systems throughout. You ever notice the hundreds of tiny A/C units on the rooftops of some apartments? That's because the structural dead load limitations.

    ARCHITECT: Gensler INFORMATION: 4-story 104,491 SF building that will include 60 shelter units on levels 3 and 4. The project also includes commercial grade food preparation, dish washing and serving facilities. Don't let the renderings fool you, there is not an outdoor terrace. That's actually just going to be a roof with screened in mechanical equipment on top.
