Not the clearest morning but a decent flyover over DT (starting at around 40 minutes in). Only a couple floors up on the Hemisfair hotel but the Continental and UTSA buildings are both about halfway done in terms of floor counts.

One of the better morning flyovers I've seen so far (starts at 53 min in)

Here is a link to a 4K drone flight over the DT area that I found to be quite impressive, he flew quite close to a few buildings as well:

Nice! And like a true Texan, he parked at the far end of the empty parking lot under the tree (at the very end).

Some great captures from this mornings flyover. Thought it was neat seeing this amount of depth/ perspective (at around 1:24:00 for this moment).

^^ Nice. What's going on the with crawler crane in the vicinity of Nueva and St. Mary's? You can see it around 1:25:50 in the video, just left of the Alamodome support tower.

I passed by the other day and it was definitely parked at the surface lot at 515 S St Mary's St but it wasn't in use nor even upright when I saw it. I have no clue as to what's going on there.

As long as they don't block the view of Tower Life from the Riverwalk bridge on Chavez, I hope they build a 90-story building there.

I think they might be fixing the dam that’s rights there on the river.

Bosshaa5 I think is correct. I drove past the crane yesterday and its right by the Nueva Street Bridge over the riverwalk. There a lock system right off the side of the bridge.

Starting to see some decent progress on the Monarch Hotel here, if I'm not mistaken the next floor added would mark the halfway point in terms of height. Also the Continental should only have about 4 floors left or so?

(This starts about 55 minutes into the live stream)

It will be roughly the same height as the Hilton.

Yep I know! I have it rendered as reaching the Hiltons mechanical crown (roughly)

I know it's been said, but damn if the Frost tower was taller....

[JACKinBeantown]

^^ Yup. Even just 3-5 stories would make a big difference.

Yup. Not sure why they did they parking garage they way they did. If they made it ala 6x or the Republic, they could have added another 50-100 feet to the building easily.
