Lol, this.

Totally incidental, but my GF was begging me to take her to the new Olive Garden over on Addison. I'd previously been to Olive Garden like 2 or 3 times in my life, the last time being at least 8-10 years ago. Anyway, ate there last week. 100% inedible and gross. I honestly don't understand how places like that stay in business. Sheesh.

according to bvic's post in the highrise compilation thread, this one is scheduled to head to the plan commission this month.

Don't tell that to Marilyn Hagerty.

Approved! Crescent Heights said that they have financing in place and want to put shovels in the ground ASAP.

Well don't forget that the building still has a crown (the empty box at it's very top), so that should give it a little more height

Is the next step filing for permits, or is there more to be done?

Zoning approvals and City Council approvals.

Filing for permits and securing financing.

The east (shorter) tower was the one approved and will be constructed first. There's no timeframe for Phase II that I'm aware of.

Any idea of the height of the second proposed tower?

BVictor1 · #12 Posted **Nov 24, 2015, 4:59 PM**

Yeah... We're going to have to see some official blueprints as the 810' figure is to the underside of the slab of the most habitable floor. As you can see from the images, there's a bit more structure above 810'. In the 3rd image down, everything above the yellow is in addition to 810'.

If that is indeed the case, we could be looking at a height closer to 885' to the top of the... um... er, "chuppah?"

Steely Dan · #14 Posted **Nov 24, 2015, 5:31 PM**

^ yes, i just carefully scaled the image and got an additional 75' above the yellow, for a total of 885'.

I am trying to read what floor the east elevation pass through and amenity deck is on--does anyone have a better scan of this? Or can tell me the floor numbers and what is located in the north east corner around floor 50? Much appreciated.
