por favor gracias Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ours is better IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ours is better IMO.Better in what they look very similar.The Aqua is much taller although 2929 Wesleyan's location make it seem to standout more. Overall I would give the edge to Aqua. I like how the white fins stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Was on a walk this afternoon and saw that one of the cranes was disassembling itself I'm going to guess they have reached the mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That cranes been disassembling itself for a while now. I'd guess they're at floor 39? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 If I'm counting correctly, they are working on floor 37. I stand by my count. How when there are clearly at least 37 floors in this picture from 2 weeks ago...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsatyr Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 It looks like they are on the 36th floor to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Lol, ok maybe they are on 36 in my picture from 2 weeks ago.. It gets a little hard to count the floors towards the top when your on a cell phone. But they have definitely progressed in the last 2 weeks..

txn4art Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 All traffic lanes on both Montrose and Hawthorne were open yesterday afternoon, so getting in and out of the Disco Kroger parking lot was a snap. The building site is now piles of rubble surrounded by a fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Lol, I counted 4 times and got:36, 35, 38 and 39. It really is hard to count from a pic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbates2 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 There are 35 floors in the picture. Each connection to the tower crane is ten floors up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoninATX Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) The picture above represents 35 floors completed. Unless like some developers that do not count a 13th floor, then it would be 36 floors completed. Edited May 18, 2014 by JoninATX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
