PI Update: Latest Construction Progress

Returned to beautiful Pleasure Island last night to check on the progress.

Doesn't appear to be any progress to the block wall that will make up part of the Boat House Restaurant.  But the progress is actually in front of that wall!

Since much of the building will actually be above the waters of Village Lake, the progress seen in the past week centers on the over-the-water framework.

Nice view of that framework here.

Another new building takes shape in the area behind where Fuego used to stand. 

The concept art makes it look like this building could house several vendors in their own shops.

This will be along the main pedestrian walkway that as you head eastbound will take you into the former service court of Raglan Road and Portobello.

Meanwhile this round "stage" still appears to be part of an outdoor performance "amphitheater" of sorts.

Speaking of Portobello, it's now nearly completely blocked by construction walls as workers rebuild that entire area formerly known as the "lily pad".

There is an opening between walls to get to the restaurant and Portobello keeps an employee staffed there so that people can figure it out.

Extensive renovation of the "lily pad" includes new planters with trees including several beautiful Weeping Fan Palms.

This shot gives you a good idea of all the construction walls in the area.

With it being a Tuesday, Mannequins was probably not opening last night. Maybe some other night.
