cant wat until it gets to the 10th floor and it will b halfway topped out just about.

[dubone]

is the "step" effect of the floors on the back just a stage of construction, or have they "topped" off already on the far east edge?

Tenth floor, I believe, is when it steps back considerably - about 50% or more - to just the units at the front. Actually, looking at the layout it appears to be about 2/3 of the building steps back and only 1/3 is remaining. It is supposed to shoot up really quickly after that.

i drove by yesterday and they appear to be pouring the tenth floor now (as seen from davidson street). I guess we'll be seeing height added quickly over the next month or so.

Yeah, once they get the roof of the 10th, the floors shrink to about 30% of the size and then 20% on the last few levels. I notice them framing out the interiors of some of the lower levels, up to the fifth floor right now.

Just noticed this, but the title of the thread says 21 stories. Isn't it only going to be 17? Or has something changed?

[dubone]

yes, 17 stories. that was an error from when the thread was made.

I'm sure that most of you know, but the Bobcats arena webcam is also a great courtside webcam!

hey, that's pretty darn cool!

[Norm2]

Looks like they are currently working on the 9th floor. Courtsid elooks massive when you see it from the breakfast club parking lot.

[peaceloveunderstanding]

it does look quite formidable from such a vantage point. The government district also looks quite formidable when you are in it, the new court building feels quite large.

[Norm2]

The government WANTS us to think of them as formidable!

[peaceloveunderstanding]

lol, I hadn't thought about that.

Drove past 6th today and noticed that they looked like they were preparing to pour concrete for Court6.

[peaceloveunderstanding]

good deal.

[A2]

yeah, with this crew, it was posted the day heavy machines showed up . 

although i haven't noticed anyone mention that Court6, the baby sister project to courtside is now under construction.  i walked by today, and they are already putting in the wooden forms for foundation.

Also, courtside is about floor 12/13 now.  They are 2 floors away, i believe, from where all the floors are the very smallest footprint, which should take them the rest of the way to topping out in a matter of weeks.

Since sales went so well @ Courtside, I wish they (boulevard Centro) would go back for a re-zoning before the council and get Courtside to top out in the thirty story range. (wouldn't that be grand)

I watch them every day from my office and they seem to cover one floor in about 7 work days. It looks like they'll be done by the middle of next month with the pouring. I have no clue how long the rest really takes, but they tell me I'll be in in November.

[ElricSeven]

We have glass going up on Courtside. Looks like they're starting with the rounded corners.

I also notice stacks of drywall sitting in the lower units.

[dubone]

one or two more floors and courtside will be topped out. I think it will be maybe this week or early next week.

[catdaddy]

I was uptown for the fourth of july and i seen ths building. They only have 15% of the frame work. Its looking nice its really adding density to uptown.

[A2]

Question Guys. It looks like they have finished on Courtside (with adding floors that is). I looked today and they have the cerimonial tree on the top. I do not see the fin, nor did I count 17 floors. Am I wrong or should the tree have waited?

Now this is funny! Who else was just on the Bobcat's webcam counting floors? Whoever it was...that was me jockying for camera control with you!

Nope, it's got 17 floors (the first floor is really 2 from the looks of it). There's still an equipment floor (note the elevator core) that will house mechanical and the fin is ornamental. For all purposes, it's topped out.

Quit hogging the camera!!!

Sorry. That was me. I wanted to see this tree... I've never heard of a ceremonial tree brought up to the top of a new building...

I guess you are right RHJ they are counting the bottom level as two floors. I was really hoping to see one more floor added. Oh well, I am still quite pleased with the tower.
