asubrt Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 While we don't have an official height (that I know of), 10 stories will clearly place it above 75 feet. Maybe one reason buildings like this and the one in the picture a few posts up seem more like midrises is that they are much wider than they are tall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livincinco Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Let's not get into this again. Per the International Building Code (as of 2009)...202 Definitions: This change provides a definition for “high rise building”. It’s defined as “A building with an occupied floor located more than 75 feet above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access.” Damn you and your "facts"! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 i know its only been a week since the last update, but the south tower has now topped out and the cladding is progressing to the second floor (i didnt even notice that was cladding in Tritons first picture).. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yea I should have noted the cladding was already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Anyone live on the north side that can update this one? I'd imagine the north tower is topped out by now and cladding has progressed a bit on the south tower.. Can't wait for the skybridge to go in..

lockmat Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The cladding is almost done on the south tower and the skybridge is starting to go in (don't know if you can see it from the angle I took the pic) How did you take this pic, from a three story tree house? Isn't that from the Oak Ridge neighborhood? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
