Sure is. I noticed over the weekend, the glass goes all the way to the top on part of the north side.

Thanks for the pics skinzfan23!

I was trying to catch the sunset behind the HDR building tonight but the clouds were just a bit too far away.

I would love to see that same shot when the building is all finished. Even more so once a building next to Pac Life is completed.

Heard yesterday that Swartz Deli is going to open a second location in the ground floor/ lobby of this building. First location is at Countryside. http://swartzsdeli.com

Heard that the building is about 90% framed out, but with a ton of electrical work still left to do.

May the Schwartz be with you.

I hear they will start on the Garage February 5th. And they are almost done with the tower crane, so they will start taking that down shortly.

So I was told last night that this might not be totally set. There might be another spot at aksarben that also might be looking at. Also chatted with someone that works at BBCBS and commented that some who work in the area are worried about how traffic will increase when the building opens.

I wonder how many current employees ride the 11 and 15 bus routes. It sounds like before too long, people will have to consider these options very seriously. After all, that's the end goal of this kind of development.

They were disassembling the tower crane yesterday afternoon. I would guess that most of it will be down by late today.

A parking garage.

Now that the tower crane is gone, did anyone else notice they built a building? :;):

I still can't imagine the entertainment alleyway between HDR and the parking garage. Unless they build onto the garage bays the alley seems much wider than I thought (I can't find a good rendering of this area, yet), and retail seems to be on two floors so far.

There are 2 pics of the alley way area on noddlecompanies.com if you go to the HDR HQ section. I don't know how to make link to it or post the pics.

I think it looks great as well, I just wonder how long it will take to fill all the retail. It seems like there are still several spots available for lease in the ground floor of the old Gordman's building. Not to mention the new building next to Pac Life is supposed to have ground floor retail as well.

Question: If anyone knows - In the design of the plaza between HDR and the Parking Garage, there seems to be retail space on the first level of the Garage. Is this really going to happen?

If not, then you won't see the beautiful renderings of people eating, walking, etc. come true.

I believe the retail is in the first level of the building, with open, outdoor seating between the building and garage.

Looking at the rendering above, it appears there is retail on the first level of the garage. It is hard to tell at this stage of the construction if that is going to be true.

The area that will house the retail space in the parking garage is built. I think there will be an additional 2-3 bays to the north of these on what will be the NW corner of the garage.

Thanks Coyote!

Is it true (at least from looking at the plan you provided) that there will also be retail on the first floor of HDR?
