That high up, do they bolt down the furniture?

Seems like the lightweight stuff could blow off the roof and be a flying hazard at 500 feet heading down to the street.

They don't worry about furniture -- ideally it can get moved inside in heavy winds. They do make sure all planting materials (ie: gravel) is securely held down and even look at the engineering of any cabinet hinges.

I never noticed the open area on the back side of the top floor. Anyone know what will be on that side?

Two pretty massive cooling towers

It's 564 sq ft - that's a studio according to http://www.marketsquaretower.com/residences/#sp

 

The smallest 1 BR is 814 sq ft

 

 Ah I see that now. Well the pictures come from the 1BR model unit (GL layout I believe).

I think that's actually a studio even though the Martha Turner listing says 1BR

This is the model unit --- it's a 1BR.

I'm confused. At the beginning of this thread there are renderings of this project from Ryan Jackson architects, 

however when you go to their website and look under Our Work or Under Construction it has no mention of this project.

You would think with the scope of this project they would mention it on their site. Can anyone shed some light on who is the architects 

for this building? THANKS

Hover on "Work In Progress" then click "Under Construction" that appears just underneath.

Rooftop cantilevered pool outriggers look to be complete!

New garage plaster on west facade

Wow, I just noticed that they put the Cooling Tower on the second floor.  That is going to suck for the apartments right above it.  All to save a few hundred LF of pipe and horsepower on CW pumps.

It's temporary -- that's a future pool deck

Are those new garage beams there to attach a new facade onto? Hoping.. heh.

These channels will more than likely hold the metal lath for plaster

If you go to the direct link to my pics above in super jumbo form, you can see that the floor that they are working now is different than the ones that they have put in below. I think they are close to topping this thing out.

They just finished the last residential (penthouse) slab. They're building the forms for the massive outriggers that will straddle the pool on the amenity deck.

i will be inviting everyone here and you have my word on it!  The views on the rooftop are going to be awesome! Anyone know how I can get in contact with their leasing office?

Leasing office should be open in April 2016

Tower crane will need to be jumped at least one more time. I count 36 floors.

 

December 7-8 barring any weather delays

Probably going to need one more tower crane jump. 33 stories so far.

 

 

2 more; one scheduled for 10/25-26 and one scheduled for 11/28-29
