Parkway Village at Sherwood

This project has been a pretty controversial one for many reasons and I am sure you have heard about many of those reasons when it involves such a large corporation as Walmart on countless occasions.  But the great thing about my hobby is I find what they are building and watch the transformation happen and be excited regardless of who or what it is.  There are plenty of blogs out there who focus on that aspect so if that is your cup of tea, this isn't the place for you.  If you like to see progress on projects....welcome!

First let's start off with the site plan:

As you can see this project is huge.  The first phase, which is the left portion of the project, is the only part being built right now.  It has the major tenant Walmart, and 7 additional buildings.  These tenants have yet to be announced.  The second phase, yet to be approved will come at a much later date.

Secondly I'd like to show an aerial shot of where this is going:

That's a pretty significant piece of land!

In July, underground work began pouring piers and sewer.  That was completed by the end of September, and officially handed over to Walmart to begin construction.

Now the excitement begins because we can actually see the building taking shape.  I will do my best to at least post a weekly picture of the progress.  Here is the first one.  Hope you enjoy the journey with me.
