^^ Yeah I am sorry for insinuating you were trolling..let's just let it drop. The Trump building is not that bad at all..and Comcast is incredible and far overshadows any negatives about WFS. I wish they would build that BVT too. I do look at and occasionally post in other cities threads (Chicago, NY, SF, etc.) because frankly there is not any high rise construction happening in my city good or bad. One 20 story condo tower that was just finished and that is about it. :(

I hate this building, and wfs. All of those buildings absolutely suck. And need to get remodeled quickly. And it makes me happy that alot of people hate it too. Cause it does simply suck.

If it makes you feel any better we're not exactly thrilled with ours in Atlanta either.
http://hcp.4msol.com/project/images/1(1).jpg The tallest tower will be 575' 10" and the second tower will be a paltry 470' 4". http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...um2236/575.jpg The main entrance with the waterfall faces South West toward Spring St which is a one way street going South. The only way drivers will see the grand waterfall entrance is in their rear view mirror. Here is the website with all the details. compared to the other towers going up in Atlanta this one is very underwhelming. http://trumptowersatlanta.com/?cid=1...&bid=810876174 |
^^ It doesn't make me feel any better, considering I like your Trump towerS a lot more than I like our Trump tower. Taller too. But I still want them to build the Trump in Philly.

update:
test caisson to be drilled next week. rest of foundation construction schedule to be determined by result of that test. |
skyscraper, didn't you say a while back that TTP's height had been reduced to 505' - has that changed again or is it still on track?

Or will the test caisson drilling show if this building can be built or not? In other words...it's not for sure yet? Did that make sense? |
im nervous about the charlotte project too, if it ever happens

my opinion, I honestly like the building. I know it's not a cutting edge design or anything, but it is ambitious without being ostentatious. Lots of architects would see this tremendous opportunity to build a luxury high rise on the waterfront and design an attention-whore of a building, which would be an anachronism in 5 years. this is not that. it draws attention to itself but in all the right ways: solid but not flavor-of-the-month design, excellent amenities, brings more life to the waterfront, etc. and I'm not just saying this because I work for the firm that designed it, I honestly believe this. (my contribution was small, just some stair details which I think have changed since I worked on them). the units themselves are obviously going to be luxurious. it is also going for LEED certification, possibly as high as silver. |

I have not seen glass samples but I don't think it's supposed to be as dark as ratr, but I don't know for sure. |
skyscraper, thanks for sharing what you know. Keep us informed.

Can someone also explain how construction can begin before pre-sales have even started? They need to first open a sales center and pre-sell in order to close on their construction financing. Btw, drilling one caisson isn't a groundbreaking, it's called site prep in case there needs to be soil remediation work done.

I'm surprised that this seems to be happening. I thought I remember reading somewhere that the Trump developers did something to tick off the residents, or councilman. Maybe somebody got a briefcase full of cash.:hmmm:
