I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. I'm guessing not. But Detroit has Dan Gilbert. What he's doing for that city is amazing.

Awesome video. The overhead shots of the intersections with the traffic and crowds crossing the street in large groups reminded me a bit of some sections of Brooklyn and NYC.

Not quite Andrew Takano quality, but it's recent. Big Red Dog updated their website, and it features an aerial video albeit brief of some of their Austin and San Antonio projects.

Yay! You're back. It's also amazing how that Lou Neff Point view changed from 2003 to 2008. It may be even more amazing how it changes from 2016 to 2020.

Scratch that. I wish I could put 360 where Northshore is, Northshore where Seaholm Residences is, and Seaholm Residences where 360 is.

I guess that Northshore never got any cool lighting - what are the chances they could still do something?

I don't know, but I'm bummed out that they haven't done anything with it. The W was a good building to not have lit sort of in the same way Fountain Place in Dallas isn't, but Northshore screams for some kind of accent lighting.
