Timelapes Tuesday 3.0 University Place

Today’s Timelapse Tuesday features 3.0 University Place located at 41st and Market in Philadelphia. We’ve mentioned 3.0 University Place on our Flyby Friday, but we just couldn't wait to show you the time lapsed progress this site has made in a few short months. The amenity-rich site when finished will serve as an eight story, 250,000+ sq. ft. of Class A, commercial lab and office space perfectly tailored for tenants in the biotech and R&D industry. McDonald Dale Strategic Alliance (MDSA) has been working hard to make continual progress at the site.

Tuesday also means just TWO MORE DAYS until 3.0 University Place has their official Steel Topping Off ceremony! We can’t help but BUILD up the excitement to this huge milestone. We’re excited – are you?!? #timelapsetuesday #upaphila #mdsa #dalecorp #mcdonaldbuildingcompany #buildingontrust #steeltopping #finalcoundown

MBC Team for 400 West Elm Street "steels" a visit to SteelFab Alabama Plant

The MBC team took flight (literally) down to Alabama to visit the SteelFab plant for our 400 West Elm project in Conshohocken, PA. 🛫👷‍♀️🛫 Project Manager, Iliana Limon, and Project Engineer, Anna Lucas, for the project enjoyed visiting the plant to inspect progress on the steel erection for the jobsite slated to begin in late April. A whopping 1,807 tons of steel will be fabricated for 400 West Elm! SteelFab, Inc will be using Boccella Precast LLC for plank and XLE for steel erection. 🏗🤩🏗 400 West Elm’s steel is coming from various plants in America including several sites in Alabama, Blytheville, Arkansas and Petersburg, Virginia. At SteelFab’s Alabama plant they recently broke their own record of producing just over 1000 tons of steel in a single week. 💪🙌💪 Talk about incredible – it steels our hearts to be part of this kind of progress. MBC couldn’t do this without the amazing talents of our project partners at Equus Capital Partners, Ltd., JDAVIS Architects, O'Donnell & Naccarato, Girder-Slab Technologies LLC, and of course, SteelFab, Inc. Thank you for hosting us! We can’t wait to see this all come together in a few short months. #buildingontrust#mbcbuilds#steelfab#welovesteel#steelfabrication#metalfabricator#progress
