That shot has some great texture to it!

I’m all about the angles

I went for a walk this afternoon and coming up Magnolia and turning around Skyhouse, it's incredible the imposing-ness of Radius.  In a good way.  Also, it's SUPER hugging the street corner.  I'm very much in love with everything about it.

I am really happy with the offset of the Eastern part of the tower. It makes it look like a different height from this angle, and helps step down into Eola Heights from the North-facing façade.  Is the garage facing still a different material? Although it didn't look great in the rendering, once its nestled behind these other buildings, it might actually just look like a separate building at quick glance.

I really like that smoked glass.

IDK why, but the aerial view kinda reminds me of a hospital (especially the 2nd pic) lol

When Walt built the Disney Studios in Burbank, the bankers weren’t convinced he could make a go of it and so they designed it so it could be a hospital if things went belly up. As things turned out, the company did ok and eventually they built the hospital across the street. Maybe they’re just hedging their bets here, also...

Would need incredibly different building standards and approvals.  Don't look for a Radius Hospital anytime soon.  Delivery here is expected for april/may.

Ugh.  I get depressed everytime I see the lack of use of the Chilled Water system now.

I wonder if there is a delayed-cooling effect with the AC condenser/compressor being located so far away from the apartment.

Skyhouse uses chilled water doesn't it? We know the Courthouse does, as I'd imagine the Landmark buildings and the Vue.   Economically it must have made more sense to go with the A/C units and the only reason why I assume it wasn't economically feasible is that chilled water line must run down Robinson and Magnolia (Or even Orange) and trying to tap off that line would have been insane $$$.

Skyhouse does not use chiiled water. Their units are on the balconies. The Vue does and the owners sued or threatened to sue not too long after it opened because of the monthly cost. Chilled water is not a good option for residential if cost are a concern. It cost more upfront and the monthly cost is no better. Even is the line is to the site, the costs are not worth it.

I posted a few years back a comparison of my bills of 55W vs my home in SoDo.  They were very in line.

No hospital... but yes delivery.  Sounds like you're trying to tell us that a birthing center has leased some of the space.

Walking to Publix this morning, I saw the building rising nicely over the Landmark. The green and blue looks quite festive across the lake. I sort of hate we don’t get to keep the colors - they remind me of a very preppy outfit I favored in the ‘80’s...
