So, JACKinBeantown mentioned this would be 387 feet 8 inches. Where did that height come from? Was that on the elevations? Does anyone have a link to that?

I did? I don't remember. It must have been a listed height at some point. The renderings make it look like 400 feet to the mech house.

Yeah, I was just thinking I missed the posts or a link or something that showed the elevations.

FYI, the Rivercenter is grossly mislabeled on the SSP diagrams page. It's clearly nowhere near 546 feet to the spires. I'm pretty sure that's where the 441 height is.

This is a document from the developer that was posted on the OHP map webpage. It has the building elevations listed beginning on page 16

I figured I'd also share a couple grabs I got from earlier today since I was in the area. Unfortunately this was the only good angle I got from the car, but it was great to see the residential portion finally being worked on. Some great progress just in the past month!

Can we just agree that San Antonio has no buildings, in reality, over 500 feet, save for the TOA?

And I know, the Frost is a marvel of modern construction, but it looks as though is was broken in half, and I've had tourists tell me the same.

At least there's evidence that I read stuff, if not my own posts.

I posted a few photos I took from Thursday above this, they have been working on the first floor of the apartments this past week and it does seem from the webcam they are nearly done with laying it out

Right by the No Parking sign. Bring a long lens.

Why the long lens? According to some, SA is so small, this might as well be the base of TOA.

Sorry, I'll behave from here on out.

Yeah, didn't need an answer, but this site could use more posts.

ETA: This location isn't even outside of 410, much less 1604. Yup, the geographic footprint of San Antonio is mighty small.

Looks like they're starting the 2nd residential floor. Probably will be a floor every week and a half-2 weeks im guessing.

Once this passes up the Weston Centre garage in height it'll be easier to see the progress from here. Maybe it would be good to add the webcam link to the OP.

^^ I love that webcam view! FYI, the best time to look at it is generally in the afternoon because the sunlight from the west hits it perfectly.

Once this project is done and fills that gap it's gonna be a nice view of the skyline!

They have the webcam pointed at the freeway. Ugh.
