Also in your photo, it looks like someone was doing some surveying. I wonder what for.

Going up
Even being a smaller building, it’s going to have a dramatic effect on the feel of the limits of downtown proper. Especially looking at the last image.

Was just walking by the DGx and even the homeless outside were talking about this crane.

I’m in Miami now but I’ll take a picture on Thursday as well. It will completely block my view of downtown. Oh well!

Zooooooom in for the rest of the crane pieces, visible just over the 320 W. South St future project. I’m surprised @svp didn’t grab this shot first.

Are they going to haul the - does it say WIlliams? - sign up on the crane? Surely not.

Yeah, that’s pretty common. It’s part of the sled part of the crane. I’m sure I have the wrong terminology there. LOL

So this is officially now 5 cranes in downtown proper? 6 if you want to include Iron Works (though that’s midway between downtown and North Hills - which itself has another 4 cranes?)

Do you get the feeling that 97% of all designs are out of a small toolbox where pieces are just mixed and matched? I am happy for the hotel and the development - but gosh, when will we see something creative? And yes, I recognized that a great deal of this is driven by cost concerns, but jiminy jasper. . .

Pretty much. The location is also not very prominent so it doesn’t really matter.
What matters is that if I stay at this hotel that there’s a chicken biscuit and sweet tea awaiting me when I wake up.

For lower-tier hotels, that’s pretty much exactly true. They’re engineered from a toolbox of premade pieces more than actually designed.
