I noticed that. I've only been able to count 36 in the elevation. They're either counting the mechanical penthouse or I missed one of the parking levels, which are kind of hard to count since they're sloped.

Projected start: third quarter 2012

Third quarter ends in 3 weeks, fingers crossed!!!!

JoninATX · #84 Posted **Sep 21, 2012, 7:34 PM**

This may start next week.

Really? Where did you hear that? That is great news!

It will be our newest U/C tallest.

And it will mean I get to move up two buildings into my under construction list next week. *hopefully!*

There has been activity around the sight for a few weeks now. Bowie is half closed now.

I noticed today at the Marriott site they were pouring concrete around some large steel beams that had been sunk into the ground along Congress, and they had a bunch more piled up on the east side of the block. I took a bunch of photos today.

I had a feeling, last week while driving by I notice the big tree in the back had construction tape by it and a black tarp by the creek.

So is it officially under construction or are you guys just pretty confident it is?

Agreed. The builders would not pay the burden of process and cost for street clousre if they were not sure they were going to start soon. !!!!

ATXboom · #95 Posted **Nov 13, 2012, 4:31 PM**

The lot has been scraped. Fences are up and diggers working. Not sure if this is still demo, site prep or initial build but there is a lot of activity. Gonna be a really thin tower!

JoninATX · #96 Posted **Nov 13, 2012, 6:19 PM**

Question? Are they going to tear down that red bar that faces 5th street.

^I still can't see the actual building elevations yet, though.
