That tricked me for a minute- I thought they just cranked over the last few weeks or something!

I am a PM for this project and those images made me look twice. I had to count levels to make sure we were still on 12.

Hah...good ol' Photoshop. :p

Nice job HX Guy...made us look twice!

I just checked in on the Summit web site and they claim to be 85% sold. Soleri mentioned in the PHX Devel thread that the condo market has really softened DT. The Summit's success must be the incredible location...a sports nut's dream.

We kind of already knew this...but looks like the official height is 253' per the site plans.

^I just realized in your pic and Soleri's picture that they are putting on the exterior cladding for the tower. What exciting times for Phoenix, and this tower is going up really fast. One update a week should show the progess of this building, thanks guys for the updates!

I've made it part of my schedule to detour through downtown every other Friday (every two weeks) with the digital camera.

It's going to be nice when this thing tops out...it's only at level 14 now...imagine another 9 level stacked on top of that!

HX_Guy-
Why are you holding a gun in the top left corner of the picture?
Are you trying to tell us something?

HX_Guy · #53 Posted **Oct 28, 2006, 2:09 AM**

Hah! It sort of does look like that doesn't it? Don't worry...it's just a Canon SD200 digital camera.

DracoCaifan · #54 Posted **Oct 28, 2006, 8:26 AM**

Wow!! this one is going up pretty fast... thaks for the updates!!!

HX_Guy · #55 Posted **Nov 3, 2006, 3:59 PM**

PHX602 · #56 Posted **Nov 3, 2006, 5:12 PM**

I appreciate these updates, I've been out of town for 2 months so I can't get down there to see for myself.

You get a great view now of Summit when driving I-10 West from the south-east valley towards downtown.

JimInCal · #58 Posted **Nov 3, 2006, 8:54 PM**

Wow, The Summit is SCREAMIN!!!

I can't wait to do my drive-by when I'm over during Thanksgiving. Thanks for the continued photo updates HX-Guy!

Here is a more artsy rendering of the Summit (looking from the Northeast, I believe). It is 90 degrees from the rendering we've been seeing. I just liked it and thought it would be nice to post a reminder rendering in the midst of the thread. This is going to bring a lot of vitality to the east end of the Jackson Street district .. a nice bookend.

Jim, hopefully you're right that it will bring vitality to that area. Though, think about Orpheum Lofts, which brought nothing. Those people drive their cars home, stay in all night, and if they do go anywhere, they get back in their cars. I don't see any rise in vitality from Orpheum, or Stadium for that matter. Hopefull this building is different.
