Montrose1100 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 28 Floors Total, slightly shorter looking than One Park Place. Based on the renderings the southern most "shoulder", is only 1-2 stories shorter than the next, then the same for the tallest after that. The façade also appears to be a bit taller than the floor on each section. So, not much more if that corner piece is topped out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a renovation of Toyota Center soon too. Edited March 1, 2023 by tigereye 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
