Likely done to avoid a noise wall on the eastern side, thereby blocking the view of those businesses.

This will be so cool, my nephew loves Lego’s!

The plural form of LEGO is LEGO.

Looks more and more like almost the entirety of the path will be obscured by clouds. I may not be going to Carbondale, IL after all.

When did a spouse suing the city become a disqualifying factor? There’s a word for that… discrimination.

There is a few spots of this happening up in Sioux City area on I29 too. They are really bad. One thing that I did see is both are over a railroad. I am wondering if that is something that caused the issue too. There is a few other spots outside of Sioux City on I29, but these are not on bridges to...

My prediction: Brandeis building stays and is stabilized / restored, parking garage comes down and a new one with residential on top rises between 17th @ The Peregrine.

During a break in the uncut GO, the Mayor mentioned they want to see a full service hotel like Omni. Omni is building in conjunction to convention center business and they build tall; I hope they become the third anchor and build something at least as tall as the Marriott. This is the second time y...

Still for HDR as an architectural firm, there is a higher expectation in them creating buildings, which are not easily forgotten and are more beautiful. HDR was intentional in designing a building that was visually understated. They didn’t want to upstage their own clients. Despite that, the buildi...

So dumb question from someone not in the development world... I know they just ran a whole bunch of underground utility lines and what not. Wouldn't a multiple level underground parking garage necessitate moving everything that they just put in? They don't usually run water/gas that deep that it'd ...

“Building another 40,000 net square feet of meeting space and the only place to do that is to go out over the loading dock areas,” Dixon said.
Well that’s cool!

Is that to leave the area to the north for a hotel?

There’s another one of those blue pumper towers going up in the same pit the blue kangaroo crane on the west side. It’s in the 2nd update video.

https://i.postimg.cc/PpmGKbkR/DSCN9971.jpg You can see the horizontal lines on the core which apparently correspond to where the elevations of the different levels of the garage will line up.
