Demolition of Art Central is scheduled to begin in July. So formal excavation will probably start... I dunno, October? Though Art Central does have one retail floor below grade so that might be considered excavation when they demolish that?

It's pretty amazing that by 2017, our 4 tallest will all be over 700 feet. That is incredible for a city with our population. Just having 7 buildings over 200 meters (including the spires of Bankers Hall for Homerism sake) is quite the achievement for this backwater prairie cowtown
. Maybe even 8, if Kings on Fourth gets going.
