I have received confirmation that topping out will not occur until mid-January. There will be 39 total floors. 37 residential floors, 1 floor for residential storage/other amenities, and 1 mechanical floor.
Here are three pics that i took on the way home today. The skin is really starting to fill in.
Great pics navyweaxguy! You should consider bringing your pictures and discussion to UrbanPlanet's Virginia section. There's a lot more audience for your pictures and more comprehensive discussion.
Westin update: They are a little behind schedule, having supposed to have topped out last week. They are working on the 38th residential lounge floor and 39th mechanical floor now, and then they will move on to completion of the roof.
There's very little interest in Norfolk/Hampton Roads on this forum.
I wouldn't say there's "very little interest"....more like a reduction in interest. In my case, losing the search function has resulted in me cutting down on monitoring those areas I used to live in...
You need to be studying for tomorrow.. not surfing the forum...
I don't study. 'Sides, I made board last time...
Every time I see photos of Independence, I can't help but cringe at the mess of traffic that development has created along it. Building the Westin and expanding Town Center, unfortunately, will not do anything to help the situation...
Well, judging by the tree and flag they've definately topped out, which is why things are slower. All they really have left is to constuct the roof and place the spire.
I wish I could get up higher somewhere to take a few pics. Unfortunately not too many places for that.
AH parking garage is about as high as you can get in that area. (unless you know someone that works in the office tower that can get you up higher). Still you'll always be looking up at the building since it's so much taller than AH.
