Almost a year of looking out the window at the excavation and they're prepping the 2nd story. It's going up fast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 So is it fair to say they're working on the 2nd floor? Looks like they've made it to street level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nonenadazilch Posted May 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2019 These fantastic images you guys share really help the observing public get a sense of how incredible these large construction projects are. Everything from labor assignments, planning which sections precede others, dealing with suppliers on material deliveries, checking quality, etc. ...truly an amazing endeavor. I stand in awe and tip my cap to all involved. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Saw a crew jumping the shorter crane, they said they would jump it 4 sections. 2 are in the hole and 2 on the street. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X.R. Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The speed of this project is kind of insane when compared to other office buildings/apartments that are going up. Every other set of pictures is either depicting a new floor or the support pillar going make its way above the new floor. If they have the same timeline for the Preston...Hine might want to take some contracts in China to see if they can give them a run for their money. 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctaf Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Are they building the parking garage above this portion? It looks like there's a ramp in the second to last picture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Great comparison and well done. I cant wait to see all of the corners, setbacks, angles and reflections off of this building. It's going to be really fun watching this one go up! Edited June 7, 2019 by bobruss 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I think I mentioned in the “Allen” thread that it’s really going to be something to see Texas Tower, Preston and the Allen all rising together with all those cranes at the same time. I suspect that all three buildings will be of substantial height, with exposed columns 30+ floors up at the same time. Oh the crane porn that is to come... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
