The latest orthophoto reveals significant progress in the Riverside Homes development. Foundation work is complete for all planned residential units, and framing is advancing swiftly. Over 70% of the structures have visible framing, with one block nearing completion. This shows strong alignment with project timelines.
Material staging areas are clearly delineated in the imagery, with heavy equipment and supplies arranged for efficient access. The central path is unobstructed, allowing smooth logistics flow. DSM data indicates consistent grading across the site, essential for drainage management and structural integrity.
