This one won't be in the proposals section for long as excavation is nearly done and a crane will be on site soon.

I'm all for building upward, but in this case it doesn't seem like a great fit. The building scale would be better placed near a TOD or downtown. A 10-12 storey building would have been much better for nearby residents.

A crane is now up at this site. Might as well move it to the construction thread.

Foundation is already poured on the one side.

I didn't even know this one was under construction!

Moving along nicely.

Surrealplaces · #9 Posted **Aug 7, 2013, 6:20 PM**

These guys must be at grade or pretty close by now.

Design-mind · #10 Posted **Sep 3, 2013, 1:02 AM**

Yes the core is at grade as well as half the table forms.

How awesome to see an update on this! I was wondering how this one was doing.

I drive past this one almost every day, but never stop to take a photo and from 90th its a bit hard to see how things are going. Thanks for the pictures!
