If you have driven anywhere around downtown Casper and seen a big crane dominating the skyline, you might have wondered what they were doing, if you had not heard the news.

A six-story, 104-unit apartment building is under construction.

The project covers a 1.6-acre lot and is called the “Wildcatter Addition”

The city considers it a subdivision that will be all inside one building.

You can see the work underway at West Yellowstone Highway and South Oak Street.

The project, being built on empty lots, will consist of two newly configured lots.

Lot 1 is being proposed for the multifamily residential project called The Yellowstone.

At this time there are no plans for what will fill lot 2.

The Yellowstone was designed by the Casper-based Brick & Bond Real Estate and Development and the Minneapolis-based Stencil Group.

The estimated time until completion is about 18 months.

You'll have to get used to seeing the crane for a while.

Though it is fun to watch when it's lifting something.

As you can see by these photos, they have only three floors up so far.

The elevator shaft stretches much higher, showing how tall the building will eventually be.

I searched for apartment floor plans but could not find any that have been released at this time.

The next question on everybody's mind will be, how much for an apartment? No word on that, yet.

But it appears that this place will be on the upper end of the price scale.

The Tate Geological Museum Casper Wyoming

The Tate Geological Museum was founded in 1980 through a gift from Marion and Inez Tate. It was originally designated as the Tate Earth Science Center and Mineralogical Museum. Because ‘geological’ encompasses earth science, mineralogy, and paleontology, the name was changed to the Tate Geological Museum in 2001.

Located on the Casper College campus, the museum is a great resource for the community. Many local schools and groups come to the museum to add to their student's learning experience.

Tate houses a collection of over 6000 fossil and mineral specimens.
