jmitch94 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'd love to know how this small parking lot even survived. Was just that one strip of land that this building is being built on not sold to Hess tower developers or did they save it in order to sell it to a future developer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanize713 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Interesting, based on the latest pics this will be built like 111 W 57th in NYC where the two smaller sides are basically solid allowing for the skinny/thinner construction. As for the lot it is my understanding that the architect for Hess tower convinced Hess to build the garage on a portion of the block and save the rest for future development. However that is only based on rumors/hearsay. Maybe others on here can confirm if true. Edited November 24, 2020 by urbanize713 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the Downtown Redevelopment Authority that encouraged/convinced Trammel Crow, the developer of the Hess Tower, to leave that space for a residential tower. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted December 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2020 I wonder what this blue steel form is for? This looks like it might be the elevator shaft but I doubt that worn out piece of steel will be part of the finished building. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not just part of the form for the central core/elevator shafts like the blue steel here on the Allen Project. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangledwoods Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Quote I wonder what this blue steel form is for? This looks like it might be the elevator shaft but I doubt that worn out piece of steel will be part of the finished building. Its self climbing formwork. Here is a decent video explaining how it works: PERI ACS Core 400 Climbing Formwork - Customer Testimonial - YouTube Long story short: It is a faster, cheaper, and safer way to place concrete for repetitive vertical stuff like elevator and stair shafts. All of it gets removed at the completion of the concrete work and sent to the next project. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassclef Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Will this building have its own parking garage or will they have to share the one next door? Is this building touching the garage?

The parking garage is in the building, it's the floors above the first floor lobby area, looks like 7 to 9 floors of parking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's believed drugs played a role in the incident. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
