SREE Springhill Suites Hotel and Center City Green

[Spartan]

I'm slightly disappointed that they didn't build the crane inside the cylindrical ramp...

I think it has to do with the Gold Line rail and over head wires in front  of the work site.

I noticed the other day that the 3rd floor opening, next to the elevator bank and stairs, has been boarded up. But only that floor. It got me thinking, will the hotel utilize Center City Green for parking, and is 3rd floor where it will be connected? Seems like they would use the 4th floor, where the covered pedestrian bridge is (and connection to the OverStreet network). 

And the more I looked at it, the more I wonder what will be the "front" of the building, the main entrance, and where loading docks will be located. It's such a unique plot of land and building, that I am having a hard time visualizing based on the renderings.

I walked by last weekend. Seems as if it isn't going anywhere. Is there a hold-up?

From 1BAC, I've seen them doing work everyday when I look down. They are digging a hole, particularly up against City Green.

Thanks, I don't walk by the place too often, but the last two times I walked back, I didn't see any noticeable change.. Thanks for the info.

They are trying to be open by Feb 2017 for the all star game. It's obviously in their best interest to be, so I think this thing is flying.

I bet the extremely small lot makes for a pretty tricky foundation. Once that's done this should fly up. At least it should with floor plates that small.

One word for this project: tetris.

My hat is off to the logistic and planning specialist on this project. As long as no damage to adjoining property, Light rail and parking structure, this will be an amazing, career lifting project for whoever is responsible if it happens on time and budget.

Your welcome!

I'll leave this here for you:

I'm really impressed. Most of our developments are just big boxes in the middle of a field; this is legitimately urban infill.

Anyone care to take some pictures for those who haven't been able to make it to town in a while? Curious how AC & this guy is doing

It's crazy to me how skinny this thing will be! I'll definitely visiting it when it's done to see what it ends up looking like.

^This is a great visual example of how much less space people take up than their personal transportation tanks.

I had mentioned something earlier about the 3th/4th floor being shuttered. I figured that is where the possible connect point from the hotel to the garage might be. See picture below, seems like they are starting to build a wall hugging the ramp. Unsure if this is part of a connect point or just the first walls we are seeing. 
 

Also included, another picture of the construction.
