April Highlights
In April, we had rain, we had sun, and rain again, and again. However, the water has not slowed down construction.
On the sunny days we had several groups of visitors on site, from Emerging Green Builders to engineering and interior design students. The development and construction team received a lot of positive feedback via a post-tour online survey, which revealed that both the LEED features of the building and the quality of construction are perceived as the two major strengths of the project.
The tours also generated some press coverage, including a feature in the Red and Black and in the Athens Banner Herald. Hotel Indigo Athens made front-page news on Earth Day (see ABH 04.22.09)!

Topping Out Party
Hotel Indigo reached another milestone on Friday, topping out at five floors. Over 200 people gathered to celebrate, including JM Wilkerson’s construction crew and special guests from near and far. As the tradition holds, an evergreen tree was placed atop the completed structure to symbolize growth and bring luck.

The Rialto Club Takes Form
We are starting to see The Rialto Club take shape along College Avenue. The basic elements–the exterior wall and the columns, and the ceiling–are all in place; and the vision for the use of the space is building everyday.
