ChannelTwoNews Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Probably a garage level or something.The first ten floors above ground are parking, as are two below. Three more levels and the building should begin to head up a bit faster. Edited February 15, 2009 by ChannelTwoNews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff8201 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 i noticed that as well It is taking shape... the shape of the base was throwing me off before, but now I can see it.

ChannelTwoNews Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Construction on the office levels began about a week and a half ago, and since then, the structure's tower portion has begun to rise above the adjacent Stowers Building.

lockmat Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Some photos I took todayThanks for mixing in a night-time constructoin shot. Not sure I've ever seen one of those!Also, your second picture would be great for an "after" shot.I didn't really realize just how far east this will be, too. Along with Discovery Tower and OPP, it will really help balance out the skyline a little more from the northern and southern views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethanra Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I didn't want to start a new topic ... so I'll ask here because pf the picture in post #838. Which building(s) have an observation floor open to the public and which block would it be at)? Thanks, I have been DT thousands of times but never to an observation floor. Also, I have seen pictures of the interior of a gorgeous bank. Which building is that?Thanks ...... Main Place is looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well's Fargo (the tall green one) has one.I'm not sure which lobby you're speaking of, but the Chase lobby in the old Gulf Building is opulent. It's grandness is like going back in time.

Jax Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Both the Chase Tower and Wells Fargo sky lobbies are great and free and open to the public. Just go up the elevator to the sky lobby floor (it should be marked) or ask security. Be careful though, security generally doesn't like it if you take pictures (still not totally sure why). You have to be sneaky to take them. Be discreet about it and don't let them see your camera when you walk in.
