When they remove the crane, there are going to be a bunch of square holes to fill. I wonder if they forgot about that...doh!

Maybe only slightly more reasonable. A laundry chute could also double as a quick-descent method, after all.

That front-on view from across Congress is going to make people stop and stare before too long.

I'd mentally pictured it as a kissing cousin to the Aloft/Element, but it's shaping up to be a MUCH skinnier building. It's going to be pretty remarkable from certain vantage points downtown (like this one).

Man, this thing is going to be striking. Skinny as an antenna and the facade will be different than everything else in the neighborhood.

328 feet to the parapet according to the elevations.

The Hyatt is about half as wide east to west as the Aloft is.
