Here is a quick look at the Greenbridge condominium project being built in downtown Chapel Hill's West End. As I write this, workers 200 feet in the air are attaching the jib, or swinging arm, of the first of two cranes that will be used on the project.
Tower crane: 189 feet
Height of taller of two future condominium towers: 128 feet (10 stories plus rooftop mechanicals)
Number of concrete columns to hold up building: 120
Number of dump trucks it will take to excavate dirt: 5,500 to 6,000
Percent excavated to date: 80 percent
Number of condo units: 98 (15 affordable)
Market price: $300,000s to over $1 million
Look for a short construction update coming in Sunday's Chapel Hill News.

yes green indeed -and green does not mean $
Wed, 08/06/2008 - 13:50 — Anonymous (not verified)the "affordable" units range from $90K to right over $100K which is a better deal than anything worth immediately living in around this area. good luck finding a purchasable -move in ready place around this area for that price.
do some research before you speculate what "green" means.
Maybe I need reading
Fri, 08/08/2008 - 13:25 — johnmkramerMaybe I need reading glasses, the price range says $300k to over $1m.
Either that or there is an error in the story.
Not sure where you are getting the $90k number out of this article.
Green indeed!
Fri, 08/01/2008 - 21:17 — johnmkramerSo, are the "affordable" units $300k? If so, that is pretty lame.
Now we all know what the green in greenbridge stands for.
