This is the best and most recent I could find from the South.

That's a fantastic shot. Is that snow-capped Mt. Adams in the picture?

These are fantastic! It's so fun to see how PAW fits in from all kinds of different views.

I spot 6 cranes in that picture. :-)

One more photo from a couple days ago.

I was really hoping it would've made more of an impact on the skyline. I've said it before, but if it was 10 more stories it would look so much better.

I agree!

Thanks PDXdave. Great shots. You can really see the height difference between Fox Tower and PAW. Awesome. It would have been amazing if it was the new tallest, but it still is a very nice addition, that when finished, will be a highlight on the skyline.

I made a timelapse of the activity at the top of PAW this afternoon. It is short, but some might find it of interest.

Very Cool! The mechanical box framing is almost complete. I wonder when the elevators will go in, and if the cars are already built, or are assembled on site. Thanks again for the fantastic updates.

pdxdave · #**1714** Posted **Mar 3, 2015, 2:08 AM**

Glad you enjoyed the timelapse. I shot this at 1 shot every 3 seconds. The next time I shoot a timelapse I will reduce the interval to 1 or 2 seconds. The crane moves pretty quickly.

I do agree that it would look better 10 stories taller or so. At least it wasn't the shorter version without the apartments/condo's.
Also, for being around 460' tall, plus the 41 feet for spire, ut sure looks way shorter than
Koin tower (509'). Could be an illusion, or elevation height difference?

Photogeric · #**1716** Posted **Mar 4, 2015, 5:32 PM**

Holy cow, the buildings antenna spire is going up already!

xnyr · #**1717** Posted **Mar 5, 2015, 5:32 PM**

I'm surprised how much I'm liking this. I love the variety and rhythm in the skin texture.

Complements Fox Tower nicely.

So what's next after this project? It would be nice to create a campus of sorts. By building another related building either on the parking garage site at 10th and Yamhill or on the Guild theater block.

And make it about 700 feet tall so it can start to stand out! I hear the area around big pink is having height restrictions eased-- hopefully we can have two nodes of taller buildings and then the north pearl.

But I really hope something near this new building is taller!
