jt16 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Actually the crane is not going up. They haven't even laid pilings yet. There's one section of crane that what was brought over from next door. not sure why.The crane that is not going up is going up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yes, I realize that. The crane was NOT going up the day the initial post was made. That section of the crane was sitting in the lot for two weeks. I work right across the street and have full view of the lot all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Allen Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 So Energy IV is well underway? Identical to the other two, correct? I saw a portion of the crane today. I wonder if it will go up as quickly as III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The crane is going up, yes. No pilings yet, but it's a go. And yes, it will be identical to the other two buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asubrt Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The crane is definitely fully up at this point, with several extra sections laying near the base. Nothing in the way of vertical construction, the area just looks soaked from all the rain we've been having. I imagine they will start with pilings very soon.

Gary Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Um, ok. I was just ribbing you, but you seem oddly steadfast in being clearly wrongClearly wrong about what? Again, at the time of the initial post the crane was not going up. The single section mentioned was moved from E III to the new lot. It was moved out of the way to make room for truck traffic. Two weeks later they moved they moved the entirety of the crane to IV's lot for the same reason. The crane is still not finished as of today. There are two more sections on the ground next door. Nothing to be wrong about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Allen Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ok ok. Let's all agree on this. It is cool to see the crane going up for number 4, right? We all remember the days when multiple towers were planned, but only one was built. OR tower 2 was built years later. This is a good thing.

bachanon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Class B status here we come! More ugly buildings. What's with the return to beige half-floors (or did it ever disappear)? I guess it's more energy efficient and cheaper to build.i'm less and less inclined to follow "everything" being built around town; most of it is disappointing. when there are 609 main's out there; others just pale in comparison. even simple, subtle, classic designs would be better than the bad attempts at originality we are seeing everywhere. we need a rating system for design. a structure may be a "Class A" office building based on commercial standards but rate really low on the HAIF aesthetic scale. on a scale of five stars, zero stars having little or no appeal or significance and five being architecturally significant, forward thinking; i would rate the energy III & IV buildings one star (blech - will be an eyesore in twenty years and no characteristics worth preserving).

bachanon Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Not sure if serious. Is bachanon trying to troll us? sorry about that! not sure what defines a troll. i seriously do not like the design of these buildings. isn't opinion on the design of the buildings pertinent to the thread? if you disagree please explain.
