KJHburg 69545 Report post Posted November 14, 2020 talked to guy with Babson Cook here who alerted me to the crane being raised today. Several photos of that. He also said it would be 50 stories but not sure that is correct and I don't argue with strangers *which is a good idea for cyber sites like UP too) anyway back and front and all walk bys today. I count 6 floors behind the curtains! 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeanClt 176 Report post Posted November 15, 2020 If it ended up being 50 stories that would be a shock. I’m sure it will be around 40, but we will just have to wait and see what exactly Duke Energy is planning since they have not been very clear about it. Could be less or more.

JeanClt 176 Report post Posted November 16, 2020 We know exactly what it'll be, all construction plans are publicly submitted and can be found on the pages of this thread.Yes I am aware that the 40 stories is what is highly likely for this tower. I even added that I too believe it’ll be 40 stories and that it would be shock, exactly because what is already on this thread. I would also just like to point out that construction doesn’t end up being what is shown until the project is at certain level of progress. *Usually they end up looking like the information they put out, but issues and changes happen. (What I mean by this is it could be shorter rather than taller lol. I also doubt this) Would be cool if it were 50 stories but I don’t think that it’ll be that lol. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took that to mean that the Crane itself may be 50 Stories not the building. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Companies aren't building for vanity height anymore. I think a taller building will come along when the economics make sense. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j-man 1638 Report post Posted November 24, 2020 The impact of this already is mind blowing! I personally think that this tower will be one of the few buildings that exceed expectation from rendering ms to real life. The skyline will be way more full and the ground will get plenty more activity. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j-man 1638 Report post Posted November 30, 2020 Let’s toast to this now being 1/5 of the way up to the last floor. I know it’s not a major achievement but with this being so massive, we should celebrate it in chunks. 6 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yo Diaz! 1402 Report post Posted December 1, 2020 Wow, that's rising fast!I had guessed this past June about 10-12 floors above street level by the end of December. Give or take a couple. It seems to be right on track for that. Did we have a pool going on here ? If so do I win any Krispy Kreme or anything?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
