urban909 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I thought I was going to get a better angle from my office window of the site (I would have to slip into my bosses office to get a good picture).I drove by earlier this week, however, and it looks like they have been tearing up the surface lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijonmang Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Looks like they're starting to assemble a crane on site...not a tower crane but a mobile crane. Â I like the fact they have a website up that will allow us to watch it go up in real time...wish more job sites had that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Stonian Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Expect this one to go up extremely fast! I wouldn't surprise me to see it topped out by Thanksgiving and open around March 2014.  I live directly across the street from the second Skyhouse building going up in Atlanta and I'm amazed they're on the 9th floor already after just starting in February. After spending the 1st month setting up the crane and setting columns in the ground, that's 9 floors in 2 months or about 1 floor/week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totheskies Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Some additional restaurant retail would do well in this area. Near the rail stations, two large apartment buildings and the very busy Co-Cathedral community, some good fast casual dining should have a steady stream of business here. Not to mention the flood of people going to Toyota Center for events. I hope Sky House is thinking along the same lines with the retail element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinite_jim Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'll try to post pics later tonight but it only takes a small sliver out of my view and will eventually block my view of the Pavillions Tower, not a big deal since now I'll be able to look at other folks balconies.

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Crane is up, and there's lots of extra sections- maybe for a second crane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdueenginerd Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Crane is up, and there's lots of extra sections- maybe for a second crane?  Probably height increases of the crane as the building goes up. Those cranes can assemble themselves. See video     I couldnt see the extra crane components on the webcam, but if there are several... that would be my guess as to their purpose. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
