Toll Bros. erect temporary barricades for Jewelers Row construction prep

Crews working for Toll Bros. have begun performing geo-technical work at Jewelers Row in preparation for the 16-story condo tower the developer hopes to build on the east Sansom Street shopping enclave.

The crews are boring into the soil behind plastic barricades erected in the street in front of five buildings the developer has targeted for demolition, Tim Spreitzer, a spokesman for Toll's City Living division, said in an email on Tuesday, adding that barricades will be gone by the end of the week.
