It looks like the hotel tower is almost the same height as the Hilton when looking at the construction cam.

Noticed today, that the tower crane is gone. Maybe it is one of the ones that is going to be used for the UNO parking garage.

Doesn't sound like any severe storms though (seems like strong storms/wind are always a tradition with this festival)

From the other article in the paper today: Children’s doesn’t plan demolition or major renovation, Azizkhan said, at least for the short term. The two HDR-occupied buildings — one built in 1972, the other in 1998 — in 2020 would house medical-related administrative services, researchers, faculty and...

This could help to still bring HDR downtown since they have more time and aren't on such an aggressive construction timetable. Children’s Hospital gives HDR more time to move out That timetable, in turn, provides the global engineering and architectural firm more wiggle room in its pursuit of a spot...

Its about time. You can't even see the current ones at night that were created by just throwing a vinyl wrap over the old sign.

HR Paperstacks wrote:Two tower cranes for a garage?

I am guessing that is due to long, narrow plot that they are building on.

Brad wrote:They set a second base for a second tower crane at the garage site! The tower crane sections are also across the street sitting in one of the UNO parking lots.

Maybe that is why 67th was closed on Friday.

I think they were quick to learn about making announcements too soon and are sitting on things until everything is formally, legally, and financially worked out. I am sure that is the case. Everyone keeps asking why they haven't made a decision yet, they probably have, but just don't want to releas...

I currently live just 1/2 mile north of Platteview Rd near 36th St. It will really open the area up for future development once all this happens. Granted they also have to get the storm sewers and other infrastructure in place but that area will really take off once it does.
