I'd mentally pictured it as a kissing cousin to the Aloft/Element, but it's shaping up to be a MUCH skinnier building. It's going to be pretty remarkable from certain vantage points downtown (like this one).

Sweet. So this will be just under 20' taller. Man - that's awesome!

Man, this thing is going to be striking. Skinny as an antenna and the facade will be different than everything else in the neighborhood.

328 feet to the parapet according to the elevations.

The Hyatt is about half as wide east to west as the Aloft is.

This wouldn't be out of place in NYC.

Walked by today and it's so, so slim in person. It's really amazing, tbh. Great proof of concept if anyone else who owns a slice of Congress wanted to go high, too.

You gotta love the aesthetics of that block. I feel like it's one of the most interesting in downtown. And, hey, 823 Congress might not look so out of place once this is finished.

Yep, it really does continue things up Congress. Hopefully someday we see this usually quiet part of Congress tie in with the old bakery/Capital/North Congress Mall.

The webcam was zoomed out, and the entire crane can be seen. 44 East is starting to make itself known.

Totally! I am absolutely in love with this and it hasn't even really begun to take shape. I think this shows we absolutely need more projects like this
