Anyone have any estimates, floor-wise, for a month and a half of work moving forward?
I’m gunna say 36 by the end of CWS

I was downtown Wednesday, as the center of the building gets taller and the steel rises. I thought the huge garage isn’t quite as dominant looking now. I’m also thinking the glass facade may also have that same effect. Does anyone recall how many parking spaces the garage will have ? Looks like it’s got to be around a 1000.

I think those three sections were added to the crain this morning. Looks a lot taller. And a nice view of a new level of steel.

If I remember correctly, I could've sworn it will have 2200 stalls total.

Assuming each of those crane sections was 20 feet it was previously around 530’ so with the addition, it should be about 590’

I am not sure if the crane is taller than FNBO yet, it appears from some angles, but it would probably be a little shorter at this time. Maybe even 30-40' shorter right. Just as Mutual looks taller than Woodmen but is actually prob 20' shorter right now.

I sew that they were taking it apart today. Originally I thought it was going to be taken down a few months ago. With as big as the building is now you couldn’t even see the blue crane from the east.

This view from KETV cam is a great shot to show perceived elevation from a distance.

From KMTV ‘s cam this morning, what an incredible shot. I’m still a big fan of the glassy 1990’s Landmark building, love its location in the skyline.

Amazing how from that camera angle the FNB tower will basically soon disappear from the skyline.

Love that glass, reminds me of what I saw in Devon Tower in OKC last year.
The renders of MoO are coming to real life!

That was a quick timeframe from the last floor. Not official but should very close to reaching if not above the Woodmen height.

3/17: 8 floors
3/24: 9 floors
4/7: 11 floors
4/18: 13 floors
5/3: 15 floors
5/30: 17 floors
8/8: 18 Floors
8/20: 19 Floors
9/3: 20 Floors
9/17: 21 Floors
10/2: 22 floors
10/23: 23 floors
11/8: 24 floors
11/26: 25 floors
12/12: 26 floors
12/30: 27 floors
1/13/25: 28 floors
2/4: 29 floors
2/17: 30 floors
3/13: 31 floors
4/13: 32 floors
5/6: 33 floors
5/16: 34 floors

Based on previous est, the building would be around 476 ft.

I know woodman is 50' further up the hill, but from 72nd street, Mutual is still noticeably shorter.

Prob need to go up 3 more stories before it passes Woodmen practically because of the topography. Of course the vantage point always matters but from a distance it will overtake it I would think at that point.

From this view it looks like they are the same height, but I get what you guys are saying:

Great photos. For a second I had to look again at the first picture because I thought they were building something more on the Duo, but then realized that is just the old First National Building in the background peaking through.
