I forgot to say that it was by the crane. My fault!

Over the last two days, I watched the workers build another floor. This one is rising fast!

I just realized (12/30/15) Aspen Heights is visible from the Lamar pedestrian bridge. Aspen Heights is the small building directly to the left of the capitol:

^ Really cool to see that CVC coming into shape. I do think that once downtown bulks up more along the CVCs, those will be some pretty neat corridors.

Nice update corvairkeith. University House appears to be topped out as well.

The Google tower is about halfway up, but it doesn't stand out where it's located, and Seaholm and Northshore are basically completed. We need a few more projects to get going! At least the Fairmont will really make an impact after another 20 floors or so are added.

And 5th and West, if it would ever get above ground.

Goodness, the Google tower is nearly half way and they've only added a couple of actual office floors.

Or a drone flying toward the Capitol from each CVC starting point.
