Personally, I still like a bit of the originality of some of the early designs better than this safe and homogenized look they settled on.

Isn't surprising considering their Hilton Garden Inn on the Beltline fugly.

A current run-down. I assume there's nothing in here that most of the UP-ers haven't heard about?

Amen.  If buildings could speak...

I was doing a development walkabout last night and realized that the Embassy Suites is going right to the sidewalk.  I didn't assume it wasn't, I suppose I didn't think about it at all, but as they are starting to put steel up it struck me how imposing this will be at street level.  I'm pretty excited to see it once the exterior is nearing completion.

Looks like a Potain crane is getting ready for 601 Bond, per Pioneer's FB page. Scratch that!  This is apparently for the Embassy Suites.

They're adding a tower crane to that mix. Sort of surprising considering the project is not very tall, but whatevs.

"TOWER" cranes, not a typical crawler crane.

Are their any elevation drawings in the permitting record showing how mall feet tall 601 Bond will be?

What's up with 600 Bond across the street?  They're scraping dirt off there today so maybe just a temp staging area?  Same owner as 601 but my building permit sleuthing fails me.

Not that I have seen.

I actually saw this on the community bulletin board in the Boardwalk tonight. It's a bit blurry but it shows that corner lot as a Pioneer staging area.

Tower cranes are a beautiful thing.

Interesting to see how this development will pull landmark lofts (which has kind been off on its own) right into the thick of things. 

Great photos! Drone?

crinzema, if you have a drone do you think you could upload some updated skyline shots to Wikipedia? I tried to get my hands on one about a year ago but didn't have the chance (probably not nearly as good as yours either). I've been trying to update Wikipedia lately too.

Noticed yesterday that some of the rounded balconies are up on the Embassy Suites hotel, couldn't snap a photo quick enough.

Got some shots of the 601 Bond construction site. Hard to believe the building will be taller than this crane.

Are you doing these on your own crinzema or for a company? They're pretty incredible.
