My thoughts were if everything is going to have a similar design then IMO there should be a height difference....950' and then maybe something 750-800' breaks up the monotony of a 750-800 foot tabletop skyline! Just my observation.

As I'm sure you know, that's not how free market economics work with regard to skyscraper construction, unfortunately. Would have been nice to see 5 more narrow floors on the final setback along with a spire, which would be close to the original rendering. Maybe we'll get a surprise. If not, womp womp.

Super awesome construction pics on this page and the renders.
Keep them coming thank you. i love the cranes and the counterweights Massive structures in themselves. One picture has over 110 tons of counterweights. The tower cranes and that massive multi axil self moving crane is just mind boggling. Men are still building great things. No small plans here other than a 100 foot haircut. Ill still revel in the addition right in the middle of an upcoming recession and urban issues going way back to the cona. What a super location. Finally hiding the sun times and the cheap Holiday Inn motel in the sky from the riverboat views. I cannot wait for another river tour. Hopefully with a proper Docent that can go off the script and answer questions along the way and has a microphone loud enough to hear. Too many times I have encountered those that can only just read a script and are often hard to hear even if your close enough to them to try to lead their lips. That said which is the best and most educational tour cruise out there. When I bring visitors form out of town, often for the first time ever they are always aghast and utterly amazed, to the city I prefer for them to really be educated and have the ability to ask questions about any said building or future building going up or just a general history of the river lake and city streamlessly. |

Steel or Concrete?
Is this going to be steel frame or concrete? I see pillars that appear to be concrete. I thought office buildings were usually steel because it takes less space and the floorplates need to have more space

It appears to be cheaper, and I believe someone in-the-know on here has previously mentioned progress in its durability, or at least our use of it. Concrete prices may also be low due to an abundance from digging out the Deep Tunnel... 8th paragraph: https://slate.com/business/2019/01/c...nary-tale.html |

don't know which type this one will be. |
This will be steel. The type of crane is the giveaway. The large diesel cranes are used for steel structures while the concrete structures typically use the lighter electric tower cranes.
