@westcoastjos Yeah I'm just as happy to not have more pedways, honestly. I know they're great and lots of people like and use them (myself included), but I would also be just fine if we never built another.

I hear you there. Ice District will be bringing three more for the three towers, though.

 

[Daveography]

@westcoastjos I know.

I am finding that the pedways are beginning to bring a unique style and expression to the City's core -- personally, I like them. They work to bring disparate building designs together more harmoniously. If I had one wish, it would be that they would connect more interesting interior spaces within buildings and expose some podium roof spaces for outdoor uses. I guess that that adds up to two wishes.

Emporis says Encore is 505 ft.

 

[Daveography]

@Jarodsc17 I wonder where they got that number from. Doesn't jive with the latest rezoning, which is reflected in the SRC project and thread height.

Those with vision have a place at the front of the line -- kudos to Westrich and Gene Dub & Co.

Haha. Marcel was complaining that they started up at 6 am this morning (he lives next door across the alley) breaking city by-laws. I suspect there will be some politics during construction of this one.

@westcoastjos A lot of builders big and small struggle with bylaws. It's amazing.

The jack hammer rig operator forgot to "spring forward" or maybe sprang too far.
