I guess this means we’re not getting the interesting connected towers building.

It does appear to be the case, that’s the Accenture building is behind the concept image. So I wonder why this was change and if they have a new render of the entire site?

Where’d you see that? I didn’t see that on the plans

I just see it as they are building the two buildings in separate phases and not at the same time. The same thing was done with that building on six forks just north of north hills. The one with the curves.

You mean the picture? It’s on this website: https://midtownexchangenc.com/

Perhaps but it seems like you’d have to at least design the building with the connector in mind and that doesn’t seem to be the case with the plans posted above. The connector is integrated into the building.

Where you see the two story bump-out on the upper floors is where a connector could go. If they still plan to have one, the structure would be designed so that it could be added. You can’t have a connector until you build the second building.

No, I was asking about where it says they are no longer building those towers in the plans because they most say that they are still building them :joy:

The connector is clearly in the drawing but not extended yet because it won’t be until both towers are completed

That connector makes me think that it’s some kind of executive-level Habitrail.

I guess this tower is “opening” soon! Too bad it won’t really be used for who knows how long.

not sure if this is the proper thread, but it looks like HUB RTP is well underway. They were bulldozing old buildings and doing what looked to be site prep. RTP seems to be experiencing a renaissance of sorts!

The Walter is already 6 or so stories tall.

They should teach the 301 Hillsborough folks how to do it…

One thing you’ll notice is that the slabs for the residential floors are thinner than the parking deck slabs, and I wonder if that allows them to go faster for those floors. And Walter is all residential.

Absolutely, considering that concrete gets into place one crane lifted bucket at a time

Why aren’t they using a concrete pump?
