AUSTIN | The Shore | 257 FT / 78 M | 22 FLOORS

[KevinFromTexas]

Update on The Shore. I emailed the sales office and got all the heights. It's actually 257 feet tall, not 251 feet tall as we all thought. I saw the building elevations and diagram.

The building connects with the future Hotel Van Zandt, which will sit adjacent to The Shore. The two buildings will be connected up to the 6th level. I'm working on getting the heights for the Hotel Van Zandt also, (26 to 29-story hotel tower).

Here are the heights for The Shore:

257 feet to the top of the mechanical penthouse, (highest point on building).
236 feet 6 inches to the mainroof.
223 feet 6 inches is the highest occupied floor, (22nd floor).

My sister took a picture of the tower crane for The Shore and emailed it to me. It went up last Saturday.

The Shore is finally poking up above the tree line. You can now see the structure from I-35.

The building has been topped out for a month or two and they've removed the crane now.

Cool pics. I've found the buildings around there are difficult to take pictures of. They're kind of inaccessible from certain angles like to the east because of I-35, and from the west with the river. And with the neighborhood to the north, and the river to the south also. It's kind of difficult to find a good spot to photograph them without it being too close or seeming odd.

Those are great photos, Kevin. Monarch looks really nice with the late afternoon sun shining on it. I really liked the last photo, too. Where did you shoot that from? The Congress Ave... oops I mean Ann Richards Bridge?

Here's another photo from March 22 I took from the 4th floor stairwell of an apartment building on S. Congress

I took the last one from the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge. Had my tripod with me and just zoomed in on it. That was such a beautiful evening. The city looked great that day.

Damn! That 2nd one is stunning.
