Downtown Development Update: What's rising, what's delayed

I think it would be cool if the forum had another photo update on current construction. Some of our out-of-town folks might be pleasantly surprised. I can snag some photos soon and post if there isn't already one in the pipeline.

Thanks. Cranes, cranes, cranes, and more cranes; haven't see that since many minutes.

Have you been east of Hogan's Creek? At one point there were 3 tower cranes for Four Seasons and the office building, plus 6 more cranes at the stadium....

I want to see Cranes for Gateway N8 (Mixed Use Development/Hotel), cranes for Gateway N6 (Publix/Mixed Use Development), Cranes for Laura Street Trio, Cranes for the new skyscraper on the east pad at Riverfront Plaza (Gateway), Cranes for Related Group Development Tower on Southbank, Cranes for the Fleet Landing Senior Residential Tower. The cranes for the Four Seasons and the Stadium is Khan's cranes; but IMO when we see cranes in the Urban Core, North and Southbank, IMO THAT'S progress!

Wow. That's some blatant crane-discrimination. #AllCranesMatter.

Sorry son't know how to make it a link.

Some equipment by related tower site. Not sure if it is to tear down mosh.

In regards to Gateway/Pearl Street, It appears that N6, N7, and N8 will all be rising at the same time, with CRANES in the air for each. N6 will be the shortest and will top out first, followed by N7, and then N8. Man, all of this activity is making me dizzy and giving me a headache; where's the smelling sauce? Still not tall enough though; that's coming and will be revealed very soon right on the riverfront; think I'm joking? Watch! And no, I don't have proof; just got that feeling. I smell "tall and slender" in the air, rivaling Independent Square building, and standing tall with #1 (BOA) and of course #2 Independent Square. It's a little way off, but not too far away. Just stand by and have the faith.

Just call me CRANEZY.

I wish they would add more height for n6 maybe add residential on top of it and n10 would have twin towers and not 7 to 10 story buildings also maybe a tower next to ambassador and some towers next to the rosa parks station give us more height like Tampa's water street. Also wish n7 would have had twin towers on that site like they did for tampa's publix.
