I didn't have to wonder too long, because when I attempted to leave the building via the front entrance late morning the following day, I found the exit blocked by chairs that used to be sitting on the landing that connects buildings A and B and a new sign announcing the area as a construction zone.
Walking back down the hall and around the building to the front revealed that work had begun out front. By about 11:30 a.m. on the 9th of April, the connecting landing was down.
Photos below were shot April 10th through April 16th.
By April 20th, construction was far enough along that the chairs of those who like to loiter with their cups on the connecting landing between buildings A and B were back in place and it appears this part of the project may be nearing completion.
No word yet on construction or repairs to the balconies at Greentree. Most of the apartments here have balconies constructed of the same materials and at the same time as the landing that collapsed seven months ago. UHS sent Greentree residents a memo on October 2, 2013 advising caution with the balconies, but there has been no clarification of what it means to "overcrowd" them or if repairs are going to be made or not.
