Field tunnel entrance before Tampa Bay game.

That's so meta

Sorry about the reflections:

Man I wish that, since they're going to be carrying the beige up from the Mint Museum anyway, they'd at least carry the geometric shape up those divider walls as well.  Would make the building so much more interesting.  That was one reason I liked the last design better; it wasn't just another generic residential tower.

Will top floor units have a few of the Panthers' games? That would be so awesome!

I was driving down 74 towards the city over the weekend and noticed that this project is starting to peak out above the treeline around once you get to Crownpoint. It's going to have a great impact on the skyline when finished.

Its amazing how prominent this building would be in every single North Carolina City, but its is just dwarfed by Duke Energy.

Picture I took from end of the game on Sunday. Still has more climbing to do and it's already prominent as mentioned above by RDF...

Filling the gap.

Also, who knew you could rent wheels?  Amazing time to be alive.

If you call the first floor they added to the roof "1", they are currently building the floor of "27".

so 5 more floors to go. (The title of this thread needs to be changed to 32 floors above the mint museum)

[grodney]

I realized I used "floor" in two different ways.  I should have said "If you call the first level they added to the roof "1", they are currently building the bottom of level "27".  I don't know if that changes the number.

Nope...still 5 more.. 32 is the resident amenity level and the roof design thing goes up another 1.5 floors or so

Got word this will officially be called Museum Tower. I for one am really glad they went with this simple and descriptive name. Much better than whatever lame 1 word they'd come up with. (Calling a Mod) the thread could use a name change.

Also, it will top out by the end of the month.

"THE EDGE at the Mint"
"DREXLEY at the Mint"

"PRESCOTT FLATS at the the Mint"

Apartments have the funniest names in history. It's just a fact.

Im so in love with this building. It fills a gap. I love that its being built on top of another structure and I love that it is making such a statement on the skyline. It just seems like such a bold, fearless design. Great job! Someone take some pics once it tops out! Thanks

Is that a possibility or just a desire on your part?

Childress Klein said this will NOT go to Condos. There was some reason though, some sort of 7 year rule for conversions. The apartment had to be 7 years old before it could be converted, because of tax evaluations, something like that. By then... things aren't up to date anymore and would have to be gut reno'd. It was a complicated reason, I don't remember, probably need to stop partying so hard all the time. Maybe it was a financing issue??? I'm cloudy on the reasoning, I'll figure out who I spoke to about this and follow up with them.

(least coherent thing ever)
