Happy Holidays, & I look forward to reporting further on the townhome project and other future projects next year.


 

Welcome to this month’s exciting update on our luxury townhome construction project in Delray Beach, Florida! This is when everything starts coming together quickly, and the transformation is truly remarkable. Interior walls are being primed, and temporary air conditioning has been installed, ensuring a comfortable environment for our team as they focus on the most critical details. Electrical systems are progressing with the final wiring for breaker panels, ceiling lights, outlets, appliance connections, and switches, laying the foundation for a seamless living experience.
The bathrooms' waterproofing is nearly complete, bathtubs are in place, and showers are primed and ready for water, marking significant milestones in creating these stunning spaces. The floors are being meticulously prepped for the installation of luxurious finishes, while external site drainage work is well underway. These townhomes are beginning to take on the warmth and character of a true home everywhere you look.
Join us in this must-see video as we showcase how all these elements are coming together. From the intricate details to the big-picture progress, we’re charging toward our March 2025 finish line with incredible momentum. Witness the craftsmanship, dedication, and vision driving this exceptional project forward!

ROOF ON!
The construction team at the Delray Beach Townhome Project has finished the shell scheme and moved into the interior to take on the final phase, which should take 10 months to complete. All here at Centennial Investments are incredibly excited to get a glimpse of the finish line of this incredible journey.

This final catch-up video brings us up to speed on the Delray Townhomes project as of February 6th, 2024. We see the construction team pour the concrete for all the tie beams, which binds the building columns and beams together to make the structure solid from the ground up through all the floors and eventually to the roof. Then we see, at long last and eagerly awaited, the second-floor hollow core slabs placed via crane across the entire structure, a significant step in the construction process of the townhomes. The three feet of concrete poured on top of the second-floor hollow core is just as noteworthy and a milestone, and we are there to witness this through our camera lens for your interest. This is two floors, first and second, installed and ready to be worked on, two more to go, third floor and roof.
We are marching on!



 

Immerse yourself in the remarkable journey of the Delray Beach Townhomes project as it transcends from earth to a second floor in this captivating episode. 
Witness the tangible strides made in the project's foundation stage, marking the commencement of a new construction segment.  Observe the intricate process of laying electrical conduit piping and mechanical systems beneath the earth, setting the infrastructure for the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems that will support each townhome. Experience the moment the concrete slab is expertly poured, paving the way for the next construction phase.
Watch in admiration as skilled masons, true artisans of their craft, begin the meticulous process of building the townhomes from the ground up, reaching the second floor.
