Those things have been a part of my daily life since June (I have front row seats to the W Cabarrus project). They’re pretty fun to watch.

Pulling in some links/pics from over in the Downtown Hotels thread where conversations on the early bits of this development started. Also, I can’t edit those old posts to add hashtags for searching more easily.

Drove by this morning - looks like a serious construction site as opposed to just a big hole! Lots of work done to dig out the plot, and the walls are shored up with (what looks like) concrete.

Anyone know what are all those beehive/kiln looking mounds there in the bottom left of the photo?

It looks like to me a large sewer line ! I am just guessing . Beehive looking items might be manhole structures .

I just noticed the drilling equipment to the right of the bottom collection of ginormous anthills. I wonder if its soil tests/foundation exploration.
Good grief, can you imagine the size of ants that would come out of there? This could be like a 50’s horror movie - Attack of the Giant Ants!!

Crane pad.
And I guess I need extra characters even with the “building construction” emoji.

Hey, how about some “extraterrestrial” shots?

I think that’s where the murder hornets are being installed. They’ll make the honey for the honey mustard needed by the rooftop Chick-fil-A.

Will make 3 cranes at once in DTR alone (this, Seaboard, and 400H) plus the Iron Works crane a little further north. Not even counting North Hills.
