I don't think I've seen this exact render before.

"837 feet"

ILUVSAT · #**823** Posted **Oct 17, 2018, 4:05 PM**

I believe this has been discussed. That measurement was taken from "median" (or "average" - I cannot remember) grade level.

Seems weird the architect would be using that height instead of the highest number they could justify though...

Not really. It also depends on who actually wrote the post. The actual design architect(s) more than likely did not write it.

I know, instead of 837ft they should have said 10044in or 255100000000 nano meters.

I know most of you love this building. I too think it will have a big impact on our skyline... Elegant as it is, I can not get over the black ventilation floor between the office and residential floors. It looks like One Giant Zipper to me. As if the the whole of the residential floors can somehow fold over or is just barely attached. I hope this floor is not a obvious on the finished building as on these renderings.

A huge zipper pull hanging down on one side of it the building could be a fun public art piece, though...

Site plan was approved and released, but not all of the files are posted yet.

Buckle up

So does this mean this is pretty much happening?

That was the site plan for Demo/excavation/under ground parking that was approved in September. The site plan for the tower is waiting for an update. In mid-September the site plan was split into two to most likely fast track it. They can start on the Demo while the tower is still going through the approval process.

This is the site plan for the tower:

Having a site plan approved does not mean it will be built (i.e.: 99 Trinity, Waller Park Place, Hotel Congress, and many, many, more).

MMOnsii · #**834** Posted **Oct 29, 2018, 8:16 PM**

I thought this was approved.

It's "half" approved. The site plan for demo/excavation/underground parking is approved. The site plan for the tower is not. I'm wondering why demo hasn't started yet. The reason for two site plans is so demo/site prep can start while the tower site plan is still in process.

Isn't there an Extended Stay hotel on the site? Maybe they have a certain amount of time to continue operating from their bookings, before they have to vacate for demolition. If I recall correctly, it was only up until recently that you could book a room on the Extended Stay website for that hotel.

You still can. All the way through next summer.

That doesn't mean that the hotel will be there next summer. The hotel is at the mercy of this project and could get demoed whenever the project sees fit. The hotel is just playing their hand the best they can.

Definitely. They're going to book all the way up to demo if they can.
