The new homes at the entrance to Key Haven just north of Key West are nearing completion.
Keystar Construction celebrated the construction milestone with a traditional “topping-off ceremony” on Feb. 24
In building construction, topping off, also known as topping out, is a builders’ rite traditionally held when the last beam (or its equivalent) is placed atop a structure during its construction. Nowadays, the ceremony is often parlayed into a media event for public relations purposes, according to Wikipedia. It has since come to mean more generally finishing the structure of the building.Keystar continued the tradition by providing lunch and Key Haven Estates T-shirts for the crew and subcontractors, including Ernest Liz, Sub Zero, Manley deBoer and Florida Keys Electric.
