Final pieces going on. When you're standing here, this project will have a lot of presence on this corner.

Me too! Although I'm hoping to get up on one of them next week.

I got these from the other day. Even got one with the Calder and the Monroe North cranes.

So do you take an elevator up to the cab or do you have to climb all those stairs?  I was talking with GRFD leadership last week.  A few weeks ago they did some training exercises with one of the cranes, practicing a rescue from one of the cranes.  If anything happens to the crane operator while up there it is our firefighters/rescue teams that have to get up there, with a bucket or a stretcher and get the person down with ropes and cables.  Funny, you don't think of those type of things typically.

Climb, all..the...way....up.

And you better go to the bathroom before the climb. Easy on the coffee before hand

Wow, good tip! I hadn't thought of that.

It looks like the height of this building has been pretty well pinpointed in previous posts.  But it's officially 192' according to the required FAA filing.  I use the FAA filings to find the exact height of buildings whenever the site plan doesn't account for the full height.

I still can't tell for the life of me even from the aerials if the hotel is also under construction.  Are those elevator/stair cores, or are they just material stacked in a similar configuration for the office building?  All media I've read said they won't start on the hotel until they finish putting up the steel for the office portion, but it looks like maybe they changed plans?

It does seem like they're working on the hotel portion too, unless that's just the parking levels that connect to the main parking ramp under the Warner tower portion. 

[GRDadof3]

The office tower has floors going vertical and you can make out the curvature of the facade. Ill try to get some pics tomorrow maybe.

They are definitely working on what looks like an elevator core on the hotel portion.  Does the parking ramp encompass both buildings?

Has anyone noticed the price on the office listing for Warner Tower???

$32 - $35/sf? Yep. Oy. 

 

Downtown was pretty bustling for a Sunday, which was nice to see especially in the winter.

Nope.  While directly connected to it at each floor, the garage does not span the entire site.
