^ Those overhead shots are great.

But you know what would also be great? Some more ground-level photos. [cough . . . . . Whu215 . . . . . cough] But maybe someone's been too busy checking out the Gold Club for the big party.

Yeah, I guess pouring almost the entire deck at one time would be a pretty big pour.

Any idea what the area on the right of the photo that is framed off from all the rebar is? Its obvious that its not some type of opening to the lower levels

That's exactly what it is, an opening. Most likely for stairs

^^At the perfect level to convert this back into a surface parking lot

You mean that's NOT what they're doing?????

thisisforreal · #**1939** Posted **Nov 29, 2016, 1:26 AM**

Well, now it's a high capacity surface lot with subterranean levels.

Rittenhouse1 · #**1940** Posted **Nov 29, 2016, 2:13 AM**

I have a question about the basement levels of the W Hotel project.

How do they accommodate parking?

I read that the site will feature underground parking, but I did not see the usual ramps for automobiles go in, nor did I see something like a single elevator shaft built to reach the multiple underground levels that have gone in at the site.

I am sure I just don't understand the design, or didn't see what is plainly present in it. But can someone explain what I am missing here?

Thanks.
