Is that steel I see on the webcam? This could go up quickly.

I think thats rebar, it should still be done with Concrete.

[tiblerbrit]

Yeah actually I think you're right, especially since there's rebar cages in the pics above.

Looks like a crane is going up!

Moving fast on this one

[nonillogical]

is the plan still consistent with the rendering on http://www.centercitygreen.com/ with the condos built to the side, meaning it would be full-height once they complete the garage? that's what, 11 or 12 stories in the rendering? it would seem pretty odd to have a garage that tall without the adjacent residential.

What a cool picture... ^

Looks like they are flying on this project with little public word. I hope they update the website soon though. I'm eager to see more of what they are building after all.

I'm not sure if they're starting it later, but the condo section of the plot doesn't seem to have any caissons drilled. Only the part with the circular ramp does. Are they going to start the condo secition later? Has it been canceled?

I was wondering the same thing, but according to building permits and inspection requests, they have already received building permits for the condo portion, and have had inspectors out as recently as 2 weeks ago. They did seek some clarification points from permitting for the residential component about 2 weeks ago as well.....those points indicate it is still alive. Apparantly though, the structures, though while touching, I believe will be completely separate buildings, so perhaps it will get built second, and they use the top floor of parking deck as the staging area. Just speculating though.

Has anyone noticed that they are building to large pillars on the opposite side of the tracks to the project (on the side with the metal facade of the the ITC Deck) between the tracks and the sidewalk. My sense is that they are pillars for a new pedestrian bridge. Given that this deck is pretty much funded within Lincoln Harris as the deck associated with the new BofA office tower, I suspect that we'll also see another skywalk go up connecting the ITC deck across to that BofA deck. It is just speculation, but I don't see why they'd connect across to the ITC deck unless they were going to go one step further and connect it into the overstreet network.

[tozmervo]

^ That's what I was thinking, too. It seems like they're building the network so you can park in any deck and get to any BofA tower.

I am thinking the same. I've been questioning where they would stage for this if they were building the entire thing at once. I then figured they would probably stage on top of the parking deck much as they have done with catalyst and 440 South Church. What I wonder is if this will stay condos, or if there is a chance for this to go rental.

[dubone]

I am not sure how I missed it all these years. But I just walked down 5th and there already is a skywalk across 5th. So pretty much the network is going to be extended to this new deck.

[atlrvr]

Yes there will be a skywalk going from the new deck to the ITC/Holiday Inn deck across the LRT tracks. This has been confirmed.

^It wouldn't be a genuine uptown project if it didn't have one.

^It wouldn't be a genuine uptown project if it didn't have one.

Sometimes I wonder if there is someone behind all of these and they are trying to connect a vast network throughout uptown so they never have to breathe or feel the air outdoor. Sad that another one will be part of it. It seems quite odd that they will be connecting two parking decks- that would seem to me be an influence on auto thefts and pedestrian safety, let alone being completely unnecessary. It's not like anyone living in the condos will be required to get to the Holiday Inn parking deck either... C'mon, crossing light rail tracks where a train only makes an appearance every 5-20 minutes. Not even as bad as a regular road. Someone has way too much money who's building these things and should find a better way of using the money.

Good to see this progressing. It's very close to the LRT tracks it appears. Will there be enough available space between the structure and tracks for sidewalk space?

[Spartan]

Yeah there should be enough room. It should be as wide as the sidewalk on the opposite side of the tracks.

[HopHead]

This picture definitely shows how much more density will be down by TWC Arena. I like it!

[voyager12]

If done right, I am looking forward to this project. Hopefully a successful outcome will inspire other similar models citywide.

I just realized the perspective of this in the immediate blocks: 12 stories...taller than 7th St. Station, taller than the BoA deck with the curved metallic wall, and I assume taller than the TWC. Everytime something new is built, it obscures something I am used to seeing in plain sight. Someday maybe the TWC will be obscured on all sides.
