This view is going to look wild when here's a 600+ ft tall DEC 2 in it.

The view from The Ratcliffe is awesome too.  You see DEC1,  Deloitte, Ally and then down Stonewall. It makes the center city feel large knowing that you are only seeing one sector of the city containing a lot of high rise buildings.

These white discoloration/drippings are all over the inset horizontals gray (concrete?) sections. Wondering if it can be cleaned off by window washers? Or if it’s a permanent fixture.

Novel Atherton looked pretty bad until one day it didn't. I'm sure this will get resolved.

Not convinced the panels are the final look. I asked my contact some questions and the only answer I got was basically "patience."

An answer many of us eager beavers have had to get used to on this forum.

That looks awesome bro, and I'm kinda excited about what the crown on ally would look like, please send pictures when its complete 

[CLT_King]

Looking at the hat from the rendering in the allycharlottecenter.com website, it clearly shows the frame behind the curtain. This is not very iconic folks!  

[KJHburg]

has the Ally Center sweatband been installed yet?

I think the “crown/hat/sweatband” will be best viewed at night, much like its pyramid topped neighbor.

So when this new Marriott is completed, what becomes of the old Marriott at The Square?

This will be a JW Marriott. The Marriott just underwent a fairly thorough renovation.

This is a JW Marriott, one of the three most upscale brands in the Marriott chain. The Marriott would be a step below this hotel and just completed a major renovation. 

[KJHburg]

drive by today the hotel.  Actually Marriott likes to cluster their hotel products for cross referring and so forth.  the JW Marriott is a great brand to have and with Marriott running Westin too there are  or will be13  or so Marriott properties uptown including the Bohemian which is in the Marriott reservation system as well.

I'm not knowledgeable about the logistics of pour in place, and I do recognize it takes longer than steel beam construction, but this is the project that I feel is taking *FOREVER*, even more so than the Intercontinental (which I know isn't actually true). Every time someone posts a picture of its progress, though, I just feel like I'm watching paint dry instead.

Once it gets passed the podium, which has very tall ceilings, and open spaces, and gets to the hotel, it'll get much faster.

As I can see the site from my desk I can assure that it’s a bustling and busy site. A lot of workers and a lot of activity on a daily basis. 

Its about to hit the top of the parking ramp. Framing for that pour is going up today.

Well this is ‘complete’ my from my final and forever vantage point.

Makes the thing across the street look like an architectural masterpiece.

Third pic (JW) - Note the new concrete inching toward Tryon at street level.

 

Bonus shots of Ally.

@Urban Cowboy must have saddled up his horse and rode around uptown not sure how you got your horse atop the Legacy Mega deck but kudos. 

[KJHburg]

walk bys today and hotel as noted should start speeding up after these irregular floors meeting space, etc.
