It'll be funny to see which of these comments Kevin decides to delete, haha.

Only if Goldenboot yells at us for going off topic, otherwise I'm gonna gloat a little.

Touché.

In a popularity contest between Kevin, a stapler, and an onion bagel, Kevin probably wouldn't come in third. I can honestly think of enough good things to say about him.

All seriousness aside, Kevin's the bee's knees.

Viva Kevin! Viva el Independiente!

lzppjb · #**387** Posted **Apr 10, 2015, 10:27 PM**

Did someone mention a stapler?

The ATX · #**388** Posted **Apr 11, 2015, 2:09 AM**

I've been trying real hard to find an update about this project to get this thread back on track. But I can't find anything. So carry on with the love fest...

What ever happened to Paul in S.A.? Now he's the one I used to get into it with way back when I first started SSP, I always thought Sirkingwilliam was tame compared to him lol.

Ah reminiscing... It's crazy how many years have flown by since then. All the talk and gossip, the debates which at times got heated. All the buildings that have been built. It's already been 12 years...

But back to the Independent, let's see who can guess the approximate date that they release renderings...

I'll go out on a limb and say the first week of May. Just by the amount of information that's already been released I would think that renderings are not too far off.

Paul is still around, and he posts good updates about S.A. development. But remember SKW was banned two or three times with other names before he became a mod. Remember SATownBoy? This will probably be deleted, so I took a screen shot.

The ATX · #**392** Posted **Apr 12, 2015, 2:14 AM**

Anyway, back on topic. They have detailed floor plans, so I would think they also have detailed renderings. Plus their sales office opens any day now if it isn't open already, and I would think renderings would be available as an important marketing tool.

LoneStarMike · #**393** Posted **Apr 12, 2015, 3:29 AM**

not really a rendering, but a more detailed version of the model is on their website now.

Awesome LSMike! Just what we needed in this thread. I get the feeling that they are purposely teasing us! And teasing is not nice.

The ATX · #**395** Posted **Apr 12, 2015, 3:51 AM**

...and they just did a website redesign. This new one looks much more professional. I count 50 stories on top of the podium which is what, nine?

LoneStarMike · #**396** Posted **Apr 12, 2015, 4:22 AM**

I cropped it, made it bigger, sharpened and threw in a little bit of color saturation.

Those hands are scary.

A different building from what? The only other comparison is the massing model. This one still looks to have two off sets. But the large crown/mechanical screen is definitely missing.

AustinGoesVertical · #**400** Posted **Apr 12, 2015, 6:12 AM**

Looks like this building will be mostly glass. The mechanical cube looks significantly smaller in this model. Can't wait for computerized renderings. Honestly, should be seeing them any day.
