capnmcbarnacle Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 11/1/14 Fantastic. Aside from the newer stuff -- 601 Main, the pipe wrench, and 1000 Main -- it's pretty cool to consider the renovations in that pic over the last 10 or so years. From l-r, Post Dispatch Building (Magnolia Hotel), Texaco, Texas State Hotel, St. Germain, Commerce Tower, JW Marriott, Great Jones Building. Lost the medical tower on Hines site, Montague Hotel, West Building, Macy's, San Jacinto Hotel. Pretty good example of rehabbing works and replacing the obsolete with something as good or better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky-guy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 It's been just over a year since the "official"ground breaking, and the building is still at groundlevel? Disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Pretty sure taking a tower down floor by floor ain't that easy or fast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdueenginerd Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Foundation work, earth moving, and the demo (deconstruction) of a previous structure are some very time consuming tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatesdisastr Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 What is the white streak in the tower cam?http://oxblue.com/open/Hines/609Main Maybe some kind of white powder they put down on the dirt for the excavator? No idea but curious too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Maybe some kind of white powder they put down on the dirt for the excavator? No idea but curious too More than likely it's lime. It greatly improves the stability of soil and would coincide with the fact that the ground is a little saturated. Here's a little write up that Purdueenginerd probably wrote in fourth grade or so: http://www.lime.org/uses_of_lime/construction/soil.asp 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
