In the quiet morning hours of Sunday, November 6 Kraemer Brothers removed the tower crane that has been of crucial importance to the site since the project began in the fall of 2015. In order to complete this feat safely and in one day, it was necessary to close off Webster Street between East Washington Avenue and East Mifflin Street. Since the removal of the crane, Kraemer Brothers has been able to complete the upper roof, with the ninth floor terrace roof soon to follow. As of November 11 the building was weather-tight, with crews working to have the structure entirely enclosed by the New Year after window installation has been completed. The finished hotel will have 165 guest rooms and two levels of underground parking. The focal point will be an elegant lounge and outdoor patio that will occupy the top two floors and provide a stunning, one-of-a-kind view of Lake Monona, Lake Mendota and the State Capitol – a must-see when the project is complete!
