I realize that this building is about half a mile away from the west side of downtown, but it is still close enough that at some angles it might work to expand the downtown skyline somewhat. I would love to see that last photo at a wider view. Where was it taken from? Thank you for posting. Edited March 9, 2021 by Response 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the one who posted the photo, but the angle and distance looks like it was taken from The Sovereign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidCenturyMoldy Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Am I just too impatient or is it taking longer than usual for these buildings to rise? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangledwoods Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Quote The inner core looks so safe. Is this building also a nuclear bomb shelter? most tall concrete buildings use a strong core to avoid perimeter shear walls. This allows for better views and smaller perimeter columns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_wall 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
