Museum Tower - 31 story Childress Klein Apartments

[HopHead]

That staging area is smack dab right over where E2 used to be... No coincidence they decided to shut down shortly before construction started.

5 more days of rebar since the last photo.  Oh, and one of the empty staging area or whatever it is.

I can see the rebar, this thing is about to fly up. Not too sure if the staging area is being used yet though.

Interesting perspective, gives an idea of how the new skyline will look from south end with the apartments.

Plus some good #craneporn for the board

Not having to do foundation work is giving them a serious advantage.

Never expected this to be poured concrete. I expected Structural Steel. But then again, the rest of the structure is known for being "the tallest building in the world to use precast double tees"  ​So I guess it makes sense that this would be concrete too.

Is there a web cam link for this?

incredible we're at this point after the dark days of 2008   I don't even like hearing that year. 2007, 2008, 2009. yuck.

Two holes will soon be filled.

(i'll see myself out now...)

Does anyone have a contact with the contractor Batson-Cook? I need to get a hold of them ASAP about this project site and I'm trying to avoid just walking into the construction site and asking people for the super. (PM me-thanks!!)

Update

[CLTProductions]

Sign outside the project says fall 2016. Quite ambitious. Also it looks like they have a floor completed already.

They are moving at a snails pace on this section of the building. I've watched the building next to me go up 5 floors since they started to prep this pad. 

[Miesian Corners]

Sorry if I missed this, but does the building have an amenity deck? If so, where?

[HopHead]

I think after this thing gets going with the first few floors, it will be at 5-7 days per floor which is normal pace for the number of towers we've seen go up around here. That easily puts it topping out in the spring next year. And remember, Fall 2016 goes all the way to mid-December

[atlrvr]

First floors always take longer as they build and then have to tweak the forms.  Once they get 1st floor done, they can re-use repeat much quicker.

This thing is boogying.

I went to DEC for the first time the other day - has anyone ever seen the model of the entire complex incl. Mint Museum apartments on the north side of the lobby? That's really cool - maybe someone could grab a pic - does anyone know how old that model is or is that design for Mint Museum apts out of date?

[15895]

It's old. It used to be showcased I think in the other Wells Fargo building before DEC being complete. And the residential tower was the condo tower with a circular crown. 

 

I remember those pictures first being posted on UP. Was really exciting

From South Tryon 11th floor -- I've go to go higher than this to look down on the activity.
