The foundation for the parking garage can’t be too substantial. And I doubt there was much of anything on the site before the garage. Whatever IS there, Hines definitely won’t have the same epic task they had with the Texas Tower prep!!!

There were certainly old storefront buildings on the site before the garage. Google Earth's 1944 aerial shows about four buildings where the garage was later built.

Likely they were completely removed during construction of the parking garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those outlines might be the grade beams for the (formerly) existing parking garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they had basements, which would likely have just been filled in for the construction of the parking garage. 28 minutes ago, Purdueenginerd said: Those outlines might be the grade beams for the (formerly) existing parking garage.

X.R. Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) ^ That first photo is a HAIF wet dream: the destruction of a parking garage to build a 46 floor tower in the background, a 47 floor development going up in the foreground.

CaptainJilliams Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Not wasting any time! Also, on a side note, I know we shouldn't give attention to the vandal, but every time I see the word "Rowdy" I think of Scooby-Doo attempting to say "howdy". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
