Haha sorry I don't have all the answers! No official updates and the response given to me earlier today was they were still finalizing the building systems but I'm not sure when that might have been communicated to my source.  I think we're getting close though.

Did we get 2 extra floors?

The best part is this doesn't even pan far enough to the right to include the rest of Uptown!!! @brijonmang where are you when we need you for a new updated Uptown masterpiece of yours?! 

I was actually thinking I need to get a good shot of this area after looking at this photo

Not only did my heart stop and my eyes bug out with amazement but then was punched in the nose when I discovered this is a cancelled project. Thanks.

Taken from the Chronicle article linked by @ekdrm2d1

 

Marquette is really sticking to calling Navigation a romantic boulevard. Definitely not how I would describe it, but if that's its' reputation and it gets more development to the area, I'm all for it. 

They must be trying to speak it into existence 😎

I get why Moldy went in and changed the perspective.  Typical architectural images and renderings of skyscrapers with the vertical perspective look very dramatic albeit unnatural.  I personally enjoy seeing the imposing look of a skyscraper in this way but that's just my opinion.

Unfortunately, playing around with the perspective in photoshop doesn't get this thing built any faster and that's the real issue.

Another concrete tower pump was installed.

 

Good, it's about time they started making moves to actually get this project moving

So I'm a little confused on this one, are they building the more recent white version or the corten steel looking version?

I went to Bravery Chef Hall with friends on Saturday night and it stayed busy the whole time we were there.  They still have some things to button up including the temporary A/C they have piped into the side of the building but overall I really enjoyed it.  They could use a few more tables in my opinion but maybe having that endless musical chairs type of demand is a marketing strategy.  Keeps you looking like the place to be.  

We all had food from different vendors and everyone really enjoyed their meal...I think this place is a winner.

Wait....did EDI International....actually do...an actual render? *GASP*

More than likely shipped it to a render company, but hey kudos if not

thanks brijonmang !  you always post the absolute best and most thoughtful photos on this forum bar none.  I really appreciate your style.

 

 

You're too kind, sir! Wish I had more free time recently to get out and get some shots of all the new stuff going up but hopefully soon I'll be able to provide some additional updates.

Geez... these guys are going to be finished with the building before I get back over there to fly my drone again!

I can take a few in your absence.

You know things have slowed down if this thread is staying at the top of Going Up.

 

 

Things haven’t really slowed down, this project is just that really nice carrot dangling in front of HAIF’s collective face.  Forever elusive...

Another cool thing about you creating this ma is you can save it to your google maps and use it to get around town and see all the projects in person/get photos.  I know a lot of the usual construction update peeps are familiar with where things are going up, but for someone like me who has a better knowledge of what the projects look like than exact locations, it's very helpful!

As someone who lives at City View Lofts I am glad it will not be a high-rise! My view of the city is perfect. 

My question for you smart architect-types: the crane has rotated when storms with high winds have blown through. Is that normal? 

Also, I can report it has been weeks since anyone has been on the project. 

Thanks for the update! As for the crane question, yes that is normal and is called weather-vaning.  It allows the stress that the wind puts on crane to pass by with a lot less resistance than if it were to be static.  Path of least resistance.

Xzibit, pimp my museum district skyline!
