ClutchCity Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Old rendering?I agree. I understand it is a little to do with the perspective but I doubt it will dwarf the Chase tower like that...

xsatyr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) It perspective view man.It still looks like the older version before being scaled down. I don't think this rendering is accurate just like the first rendering. Edited August 26, 2013 by xsatyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsatyr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 If swstig says it is than I believe so.He already said the building is 41 floors which means both renderings are from the previous version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowerSpotter Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 He also mentioned that top deck (crown) let me clarify that the top floor is double in height and the crown is about 4 stories tall, though. So leaves me to think that it will have the same design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsatyr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) He also mentioned that top deck (crown)So leaves me to think that it will have the same design Same design but shortened. Keep reading to where he says it's an old rendering. Edited August 26, 2013 by xsatyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowerSpotter Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Well then we will just have to see later. Edit: The building being 41 floors and the crown's height being the height of a 4 story building will make look lie 45 floors.

WestUdweller Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I am eager to see if this building will show well from Memorial Drive/West view where all the tv cameras setup for sporting events, skyline shots, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 it will definitely stand out from the west side (and north/northeast), extending the skyline further north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 look at how tall the International Tower is compared to Calpine Center. it will still be quite a bit taller if its 45ish stories in height compared to Calpines 33.Calpine is second tall building from the left..

ClutchCity Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 So they do have a "brochure" to shop this building around to interested companies... That's good to know.And they've done a good job of keeping if under wraps seeing as it looks like the 50 story tower we were hearing about in December when Hines' was 48 also.
