The Exchange Project Begins to Rise
The Exchange, a mixed-use development, is currently being constructed in Downtown Kalamazoo. Construction started in May with the official groundbreaking ceremony and is expected to be completed in Spring of 2019. Over the past couple of months about 80% of the building’s foundation system has been installed, including 200 auger-cast piles and about 1,500 cubic yards of concrete. The foundation system consists of 6-foot thick concrete pile caps supported by (280) 60-foot deep, auger-cast piles. In the coming months, the building’s concrete columns, concrete stair towers and cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete floors will start to take shape.
