Crane jump day. Five sections.

There is a window sign on Main Street that has a large detailed rendering that is better than I remember seeing. Tried to get closer shots of both decks. I thought that the lower pool was going to be raised to the second level. Wrong. This pool is only a little bit cool.

They pouring the next floor now. It is at 41, 7 more to go but the crown will be beautiful. I can see the concrete trucks. Hines wants LEED Platinum. Very excited!

I could have sworn I uploaded these earlier...

Three cranes. Makes me very, very, very happy.

^^^ well done urbannizer! i cannot wait to see just what type of retail that hines may have in store for this remarkable tower.... should be very special indeed....

For those interested, Google Earth is now updated to March 2016! - Tower updates! - Grand Parkway is now complete to the points where it is complete!! - 290 construction!!! Well, I doubt some of you would be interested in that last part. It's not nearly as interesting as the Katy Freeway expansion, though still stinks.

Most Dallas residents currently drive to either store in Plano. From the article:

They'll probably have the Amegy Bank logo with LEDs

Do you have a British accent? Because now I'm reading all your posts with an accent.

This is going to make such a impact on the area, once Hines builds something on the Chron property this area will be amazing

I was just about to comment on this. Makes me sick. That house is irreplaceable. F@&k them.

Out of curiosity, is there or has there ever been a sign at GRB stating what event or events are taking place?

They should relocate the lighted George R Brown Convention Center sign from the side of GRB to the side of the garage. It would break up the boringness of the garage and make the sign visible again

Parking district looks great from this angle

Is it normal to leave job material like that completely unattended for the day? I even saw some homeless people taking some bricks, not sure what they plan on doing with them but looks pretty unprofessional.
