Partially true since I was a tower crane operator for about 20yrs in an industrial setting. Thus the user name hi_n_de_sky. I love seeing the buildings going up to though.

BEES?! Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Fantastic. These buildings are really going to help push the pedestrian-friendliness and street activation beyond Discovery Green. Plus the hotel/condo(? Assuming condos.) will be great and add to the mix of residents and visitors to this great side of downtown. on that note, looking at that plan- will Dallas street be getting narrowed? On maps it looks like it’s 3 lanes presently but in that siteplan it looks to be 2. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Is it fair to assume that based on the amount of elevators banks in the proposal of the office building that it will be taller than the one that's currently under construction? Seems like a large number of elevator banks--more than on the floor plan of the tower currently U/C. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
