Nate99 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Looks like they have done a ton of work to make sure that the Hogg building doesn't fall into the hole. Given that they are drilling big, long pilings that are extending up to the surface, I'm guessing that the base of the hole won't get any deeper and they'll put the mat roughly where the dirt is now once they are done with drilling and installing these pilings. IIRC, the Aris foundation was about the same, not all that far below street level. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC only has 12 buildings that are over 1000 ft and 3 of them are what I would consider hyper rich residential ego trips.. As far as skyscraper breakdown, Wikipedia provided a nice table.

My personal wishlist, build a beautiful 1200' building on Block 142. Then infill every other surface lot downtown with 10-15 story buildings-- same for midtown. Also, Dallas has a 1000'+ on the drawing board right now: https://www.papercitymag.com/real-estate/dallas-smart-district-tallest-high-tech-skyscrapers-amazon-headquarters/ And for my own City Pride, I'd like Houston to retain the taller skyline Is this the elephant in the room?

BeerNut Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Tax Break to Help Poor Communities Became a Windfall for the Rich Quote In Houston, construction recently started on the Preston, with 373 “luxury for rent” apartments as well as a “skydeck” and a resort-style swimming pool. The development is being financed by the investors in Cresset, a multibillion-dollar asset management firm, including one of its founders, Avy Stein. Not sure if this is best thread for this article but it does mention the Preston. Edited September 1, 2019 by BeerNut 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
