They are a company they have all of Phoenix done, although several years out of date.

Get off his back like that. Athletics is average as always. He also killed a high rise project on College Ave... killed Greek life... & thinks putting senior living on Mill Ave is a good idea. But hey we’re number 1 in innovation.... #2 Stanford.

I follow Novus Innovation Corridor on Facebook. They post updates and pictures about the development.

Pretty awesome capture! Need one over DT PHX.

How were they able to fly a drone this high? This is obviously way over the limit and in a major flight path. Would the FAA have given them permission for this? Not that it matters, but just curious. I don't know drone laws that well.

They are using a commercial-grade drone - an octocopter with a SonyA7 or something similar attached - which allows them to mechanically get to higher altitudes and capture these high quality images. These commercial drones don't have the built in GPS flight restrictions that a consumer drone has.

They also have commercial drone pilot licenses - you register with the FAA. Then they contact the FAA and request an exemption waiver for high altitude flight. Then, on the day of the production, they are in constant contact with the flight tower operators etc. These type of drones have a pilot, gimbal operator, and one or two others that handle the logistics. So it takes a small village to run properly.

I've been a part of similar shoots, but with RED Monstros attached for video, rather than photography.

Finally we can move forward with Omni! AZCENTRAL: “A lawsuit from the Arizona attorney general attacking a hotel deal by Arizona State University was shot down by an Arizona Tax Court judge on Wednesday. In the lawsuit, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich argued that a deal by ASU to bring an Omni Hotel onto land owned by the Arizona Board of Regents was unlawful.“

With losing this and probably losing the tuition lawsuit, Brnovich is committing career suicide. He should stop while he still has dignity

Nah. I Rushed twice, and turned down two bids. I made lifelong friendships with some of the guys who pledged, and maintain those friendships. A few of those guys are still close to their Greek bros, and some aren't. Clubs are good for folks, but the shenanigans of the Greek orgs are slowly ending, and Crow had the foresight to get slightly ahead of the curve. The Greek orgs will probably always be with us, but will continue to shrink and evolve. It's a good thing that the Greek orgs are shedding the predators that use the positives of Greek life and legal arcana to shield the criminal behavior of the parasites that hover around the clubhouses.

Not "a" bid. Two bids. Great guys, but didn't need to join to get lifelong friends. My friends are cool that way. You OK? Didn't mean to trigger you.

Drove by the Pier site this morning at 6am and saw about 75 trucks in the parking lot and around the site with the crane operating. Seems like its picking up pace!

Good lord, I hope so. Do we even have an updated rendering or specs of this?
