I was wondering about that, it looks really tight to the top of the garage structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted July 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2017 Turns out they took down the flat top tower crane and the one over the parking garage. The flat top is supposedly done but the southern crane needed mechanical work but will go back up. The parts are being staged on Travis till they go back up. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back to watching the construction cam for 609 Main when it rapidly rose in the last couple of years. Hoping to watch this one similarly soon. Maybe someday, we can watch an awesome supertall rise in Downtown. Talk about exiting to us skyscraper nerds ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hindesky Posted September 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2017 This project is going up fast. I guess if one build the foundation and the basement it helps to move the rest of the build go quickly. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count ~16 floors in urbannizers post, and about 10 of them are shorter parking garage levels, so this should have a decent presence for being only 35 stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 This roof garden gives you a front row seat to some of downtown's best architecture. I'm glad to see they turned this into a true amenity. Until now the green roof was sold as a pretty thing but not accessible to tenants. Looks like they decided to pony up the extra cash for what will be a really cool space. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I believe the roof gardens at 609 Main and BG Group PLace are comparably accessible and usable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
