Austin | The Republic | 710 Feet | 47 Floors | U/C

- NE Corner and 2 of the 3 elevators poured for P8 in last 24 hours (that's 3 weeks for the last level)

[IluvATX]

Good update. The jobsite looks slightly better now and the red iron looks interesting. Maybe the majority of workers were injured tripping over random things for it to take 3 weeks for one floor though.

Nice picture updates, 360_Ray and Urbannizer!

I also noticed today that one of the cameras is facing the site (who knows for how long it will stay that way).

Apparently it's for signage.

(Sorry about the large size.)

I was referring to the huge open space between the parking garage and the iron.

[360_Ray]

- West poured 5/28
- SE corner poured this morning
- Ramps to P9 forms complete
- Lots of iron facade work on NE corner and East side along Guadalupe

[360_Ray]

- Poured ramps going up to P9 on Saturday. That's 18 days between levels for those scoring at home.
- Ironwork for facade/awning continues on the south side
- They put down a black barrier and then poured another concrete layer in the Bike room on the NW corner of P3 in pic below.
- HVAC, Sprinkler, electrical trunk conduits, and concrete block wall construction on ground floor and P2/3

First piece of skin on Guadalupe side?



Concrete block walls about complete on 3 transformer rooms on 3rd st.

So just under two years until top-out at this pace!

Parking always takes longer. The pace will increase with office floors. The tower will rise faster than you imagine. They all do!

The slant from San Jacinto is already visible.

Wow that is a mouth full. I hope it was clear. A NW corner close-up of the concrete. Please, and Thank You. I guess I like this building.

I think what can be seen at this point are the concrete floor plates slowly stepping back. There will probably have to be some steel to frame up the slope and then the curtain wall to get the full effect.

Here it is with the floor plates getting smaller as it rises. The line I drew is the “slant”.

[drummer]

This is definitely one of my favorites that is going up. I recall seeing the original rendering and it felt like a pipe dream and we'd be disappointed with another rectangular prism...no angles, no features; just a glass box. I'm thrilled that's not the case.

The line that IluvATX drew in is the "San Jacinto slant" that AusTex mentions as already visible. The wedge they are asking about is starting to be visible, but actually faces 4th Street. If you look in that photo, just above the extended part of the concrete pump arm, you'll notice the face of the slab edge just barely starts to turn inward some before it hits the corner and turns South. On each floor above that spot, the turn-in starts progressively further away from the corner, thus creating the widening wedge shape. (I don't have a way to circle the exact spot I'm referring to, so I hope that explanation will suffice.)

I think I see what you mean... in purple here.
