Depends on the exact angle, but probably not? I think the would appear directly next to this building on the right from this angle.

Those cutouts sure look a lot like the window line of the Tesla factory.

You are right! Is this confirmed an office building?

Looks like office to me, but with 43 floors, you'd think it would be taller with the higher floor plates.

It reminds me of one of these things.

Could be a fun idea for a moving light feature....

I hear ya! However, I'm not going to worry too much. Renderings are there to give one an idea of what something might look like in a particular setting. Those who create them are not as particular when it comes to getting the precise height as we would like for them to be.

I believe this will be between 625' and 650' tall.

Disappointed the application doesn't seem to have any date ranges.

The License permits are always filed well ahead of the ROW closure permit with dates for crane erection. At this point they can't pinpoint which weekend the crane will go up.

Gensler posted a rendering we haven’t seen before. No new info

I'm so excited about this one. Super cool.

clubtokyo · #**275** Posted **Feb 16, 2023, 11:08 PM**

Would fill in a nice gap there!

Five FAA permits for the building were filed. The building height is listed as 1033' to 1072'. Here's one:

Another supertall? Wow!

Crazy! That means it's jumped 400'ish!

The ATX · #**279** Posted **Mar 13, 2023, 5:53 PM**

I still want some collaborating info. But five FAA permits with the coordinates pointing to the correct Block 16 site is pretty good info.

Yah, agreed . . . I'm not ready to jump yet, but those permits are juicy. That's a significant enough change that you'd want shiny new renderings, an ABJ interview, etc.
