This will be quite a an awesome stretch of Capitol Mall when Wells Fargo, 500CM and 621CM are all
lit up at night. Now if we could just see into the future as to what will happen at the former Towers site
A bit odd on the construction method, usually they build out the floors all the way across, here they went straight up 6 floors and haven't even started on the other steel yet. Only like a quarter of the floorplates are getting built.
Perhaps there are some additional soils or shoring issues on the other side of the site that is delaying the steel erection? That's all I can think of. Or is the unbuilt side going to be a concrete parking garage perhaps?
Just my .02

Yeah the unbuilt side (or the south end) of the tower will be where the garage will be.

The parking garage structure is also underneath half the upper tower of the office building. The phasing of the steel erection has to do with the location of the temporary boom crane in the basement and moving the boom crane towards the south as the steel erection at the front of the building progresses, and the boom crane will be removed once the luffing tower crane is brought in and erected next month since the tower crane will then be able to reach every corner of the job above the 8th floor.

The garage is built to the same structural standard as the office tower as is the foundation.

One of the planning commissioners actually did not like the fact that the garage would look the same as the office tower and wanted a different (i.e. cheaper) exterior treatment to the garage. Another planning commissioner did not like the fact that granite pavers are going to be used for the sidewalks surrounding the building instead of concrete since it would stand out to much. They were both overruled.

You guys are obviously involved with building this tower... I went by your
office several months ago to inform you of this site and the receptionist
said that you were keeping an eye it
Do you have any rendering of the back side that is not on the ground looking
at the garage? The EIR showed that rendering that's above, do you have
any others that are looking at the tower from the back and a further distance?

I don't have a receptionist. A friend told me about this site.

If I get a chance I'll see what I can dig up.

So loading of automobiles is similar to what a typical office floor bears? I didn't know that.
The loading requirements are different but the structural capacity of the columns, etc., are pretty much the same throughout since the parking garage structure also carries half the weight of the upper tower.

Cool, Thanks Ferrari. Also, I went by the office at 520CM in the basement so
I guess your a subcontractor or something like. It's good to have you here

jk. i like these future renditions. I'm excited to see it.
Thanks.
