I'm amazed at how close they built it next to the Hyatt Place

Close? You mean they are not touching each other?

Curious if the units facing the Hyatt Place wall will be considered affordable housing.

That seems likely to me, considering units facing the Hyatt would otherwise be the most difficult to sell.

I've said this before with other new buildings, but the height and location will have a great impact when completed, because of the massing of mostly ugly shorties in the vicinity. Btw, that section of road has one of the best canyons in the city.

Can't wait for the day when we no longer need Godzilla sized parking podiums.

At least build them so they can be converted to something else in the future. Slanted corkscrew floors do nothing for adaptive reuse.

Serious question: how do you build an adaptable parking garage?

You have to use speed ramps on one edge of the garage and have all the floor plates flat. This configuration requires a larger site, as it is not as an efficient use of space. The smaller the footprint, the greater the need for ramps to do double duty as drive aisles. That is why you see a lot of double helix configurations downtown. The flat floor plates also need to have higher than normal floor-to-floor heights.

The Riverbend garage next to Shilo's in San Antonio is a good example. It's not a double helix; it's two individual corkscrews, so the floorplates don't need to be as high. It's a tradeoff in that way.

But I agree that this is a more forward thinking style. But it costs more, so developers don't often do it except for high-use garages such as Sea-Tac Airport.

The core can now be seen from I-35.
