We have walls!
The start of walls…but still, walls!
We never need to worry about being pinched by a leprechaun as we’re almost always sporting Palms green caps and shirts (especially on St. Patty’s Day). But we’ll admit, we ARE pinching ourselves right now. It’s hard to believe how close we are to opening The Palms, three years after a pickleball idea sprouted like a shamrock in our minds.
The Sellen team is moving fast, and every single day we have more exterior wall panels. One group of installers is working on the west side of the building, while another installs panels on the east side of the building.
The courts portion of the building is bookended by two smaller structures that are home to The Palms’ amenities (Mainstay Provisions at The Palms, showers, restrooms, offices, lobby and Pro Shop). In the first photo below you can see the north structure wrapped in sheathing and peeking out from behind those stunning pink and green palm trees. The sheathing is a part of the process to dry-in the building. The second photo is of the southern structure.
The photo below is standing in that southern structure, looking south over our 53-stall parking lot and toward our neighbors at Axle Apartments.
Looking ahead: In the coming weeks The Palms will have more, yes, MORE wall panels! We’ll also be welcoming a handy element for those April showers – a roof. Then, with the building exterior sealed up, the team will begin constructing the interiors. We’re getting closer! Construction completion is scheduled for this summer, and we plan to welcome our first players in August. It’s exciting!
