Cool. The elevations weren't attached yet when I last looked at the file. Despite the rendering, I'm going with 358'/33-stories as the height based on a preponderance of evidence.

Poor thing it lost all its cool luster...Blah

Yep... everyone likes the pretty pictures until they find out how much those details cost and how much sellable space is lost on beautiful sweeping angles.
Sad but true.
I agree it lost it's edge.

The site plan was approved and released today. The elevations are included, and there doesn't look to be any changes from what we already knew.

It's been over two months since the site plan was approved, and there has been nothing but crickets - until this morning. A permit was filed this morning for the construction of this thing. I would feel better about its chances if the developer would announce a groundbreaking. But at least it's moving forward.

My source says it is definitely moving forward.

A new Statesman update tonight says groundbreaking is expected by the end of the year. Although the article indicates the design hasn't been finalized and financing has not been secured.

The tower crane plans were posted today. It'll have two cranes.

That's progress. But they haven't filed for the crane permit yet. I'm surprised this is going to the AULCC. I haven't been keeping track, but it seems like projects going through that step haven't gotten their site plan approved yet.

urbancore · #91 Posted **Aug 17, 2017, 3:14 PM**

My source says this is a done deal.

The ATX · #92 Posted **Aug 18, 2017, 5:28 AM**

After reading the AULCC meeting notes, I see why this is going through the AULCC process. They need to move overhead power lines to install the tower crane. There is another note that says the estimated construction period would be from this October through January 2020.

I hope the most recent rendering stuck as the final design. I thought it looked like a very sleek and classy building. I liked the black beams that extended up into the crown and the a jagged pattern of the windows on the side.

The ATX · #94 Posted **Dec 30, 2017, 9:22 PM**

No major news to report. But since the last post in this thread there has been some permit activity with the most recent being this past Thursday. It all seems related to the relocation of the fire department connection. Yawn. But at least something is happening with this project.

The ATX · #95 Posted **Feb 13, 2018, 9:21 PM**

Maybe this one is ready to start. Over 30 permits were filed today to finish out apartments. These permits are not typically filed until after a project is underway.

So we are expecting the most recent renderings to be about how this building will turn out?

Most likely. I don't think it could take any more value engineering.

The ATX · #98 Posted **Feb 16, 2018, 11:54 PM**

Another 86 permits were filed today for finish outs and actual construction of the project. I'd say this one is good to go. Has anyone been by the location recently to see if there is any activity on the site?

The ATX · #99 Posted **Feb 24, 2018, 1:50 AM**

The development entity behind this project has morphed from LD&C into Pearlstone Partners. Their new website doesn't have a specific groundbreaking date for this project other than saying permitting and design will be completed in 2018.

https://www.pearlstonepartners.com/

But in addition to all the finish out permits filed last week, there was some more permit activity today for returning the water meter to the city. Super boring, Yes. But it's a necessary step before Demo.
