Construction Updates at Wardelle Street Townhouses


Buildings are taking shape as framing nears completion at Wardelle Street Townhouses. Strategies for sun-shading and defensible space have become visible.
Progress in construction is underway on a bright cloudless morning at our Wardelle Street Townhouses project. The construction site is electric with sounds of nail guns, bulldozers, and dirt payloads. Sparkflight Studios is excited to report that major infrastructure is in place, and buildings have taken shape.

Wardelle Street Townhouses, located caddy-corner from the new East Las Vegas Library, consists of 12 buildings and 57 affordable apartment units for the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority.  As building progresses, we regularly conduct field investigations and consult with the Contractor to ensure design intent is met.

More construction updates to come as site improvements continue and building skin is applied!

At Building 1 (image side left), exposed exterior framing receives insulation before sheathing is applied. Wardelle Street Townhouses adheres to strict residential energy efficiency requirements and will be Enterprise Green Communities certified.
Bricklayers place another course of concrete masonry units at the east side retaining walls of the Activity Center. The pattern is stretcher bond with alternating honed and split-face blocks.
Looking north at the future central access drive, framing is nearing completion at Buildings 3 and 4. Typical building services such as fire riser and roof access are shown here at the end of Building 4 (image side right).
