Yesterday, a Case employee at 150 told me he was going to the Wrigley Field job (already started) to help out but thought he would be at a new project at "9th and State" pretty soon.

^ I don't know shit about structural design, but that is a structural engineering orgasm right there

^^ I'm at a loss for words. Just LOOK at the size of those steel trusses in blue

. That's enough material to re-open the South Works plant

looks like caisson rig is being packed up!

jcchii · #**609** Posted **Dec 15, 2014, 4:00 PM**

the trusses alone will make this worth watching

Some good info on Grade 65 Steel:

Keep this structural engineering info coming - I really love this stuff.......

I have to say, I don't think I've been looking forward so much to see a tower start to rise (that actually turned out to be a 'real' project, I should add [Spire]) since Trump......this is going to be such a treat watching over the next several months......

SamInTheLoop · #**612** Posted **Dec 15, 2014, 8:43 PM**

I know we haven't had a confirmed final official height here....but everything certainly seems to point to what BVic had mentioned some months back - a modest increase of maybe around 10'? ft or so - to a bit over 750'..........as one office floor has been added, and a mezz level has been shortened.......

I'm surprised no one has posed this yet, another big tenant for 150

Hyatt confirms it will move HQ in 2017.

Highlights:
"With the long-term lease for about 250,000 square feet, Hyatt will begin moving about 1,000 employees from two other buildings—the headquarters and 200 W. Monroe St.—by the end of 2017, Hyatt spokeswoman Danielle Tullier said."

The rendering from the article looks different. More like the original, but with higher setbacks. Can anyone else see what I do?

looks like a barge of piles as shown up today. I'm guessing for platform foundations though I thought they had already finished that.

There are I-beams and raker beams on the barge, along with steel sheeting. This is to frame out the footprint of the tower and the core for excavation.

They've already started driving sheeting.

Awesome building !!! I wish something as audacious would be built here in Montréal !!
