Lateral I suspect... Think of a 45° support . I gather it is near or at the corner portion?

So-called "soil nails" that prevent wall collapse of retaining walls -- inexpensive and highly effective. You will see this methodology becoming more and more common -- easier solution than standard retaining walls.

Based on the development permit, Mercury Block II is only going to have 2 levels of underground parking compared to the 3 levels in Mercury Block I. This building is going to come out of the ground that much quicker

Given it's roughly the same size as Mercury Block I (~160 units?), does that mean they've reduced the parking ratio for this one?Based on the development permit, Mercury Block II is only going to have 2 levels of underground parking compared to the 3 levels in Mercury Block I.

Probably no public parking, just residents

First one included some sort of agreement with Evolve gym I believe? Which likely led them to just build out a full section of public knowing lots of retail in the area would attract users. I’d imagine that public parking will serve commercial for both buildings in their minds.

$126000/unit construction cost according to the article was interesting to me, that seems pretty low considering the state of our housing crisis
