Foul ball pole, separating the in play field and foul territory.

Turns out you're going nuts. 

It appears that another concrete pour for the ground level floor is close.

 

However, does anybody know what is being done on the top of the elevator corridor?

I could be wrong but if you’re referring to the orange horizontal ‘grid’, that might be something related to the concrete form work?

Can someone please help the construction novice in me understand what that orange, square structure is?

Is that for the elevator shaft?

The most recent pour is a floor above the pad that was poured 1-2 months ago.  There is a basement below.

Today’s update - continuing to rise!

This baby is going to start rising quickly. 
It’s gonna be a dynamic  look for downtown while this and SW start going vertical at roughly the same time.  Love it!

Although the crane operator probably had a good view of Ramirez's game-winning dinger, if not the fireworks that followed!

UO Skylounge East is open again! 👍

 

You know, this thing is going to get pretty tall soon, and from that angle it will just be a photo from the back of the building. Who knew we'd ever be exciting to be staring at a wall, but boy am I waiting for the day! 

Gonna need to find a higher skylounge.

That curving façade will offer so many great views from so many directions! 😛

Reminds me of the Lumen rising - you go from looking down on the workers trying to figure out what's going on to them being way above ya in no time! Cool problem to have haha.

Disappointed to not run into any members at the private UO Lounge East. I did, however, run into the superintendent of the project up there from Cleveland Construction. Super cool dude. Gave me his number so I should have some inside info for us if needed.
He said they are looking to pour the third level in about two weeks, and from there it should start moving quicker. I guess with the layout, among other things, the first three floors have been the trickiest.
Also they are hoping to get about 9 or 10 floors out of that concrete pump, then have to bucket it up with the crane.
The restaurant, which will be to the left of the elevator core in the pic, will be two floors. Dog park will be in the back of the building.
And they are building a covered walkway from the second floor of our parking garage into the building to the elevator area.
Also, among plenty other amenities, thought it was cool they will have a little movie theater for tenants to host movie nights at. On the 2nd or 3rd floor, couldn’t remember.
Oh yeah, he also said they will begin moving people in next summer, but only floors 1-4 i think he said? The building will top out around then too but total completion won’t be until Spring ‘24.

Based on the train, it looks like Germany or the Netherlands where they use tower cranes to set a PortaPotty in place.

I’m more jealous of those tracks and the train.

It sure is nice to see a structure actually rising up on this site. 😍 Already way better than walking by a parking lot!

Filling a parking lot, hiding a parking garage, gotta love it!

Will the height of the building be around the height of the crane now?  Surprising how prominent the crane appears on the skyline heading east on the innerbelt bridge.

^ It’s going to be a ~250ft building, so a solid 60-70 taller than the existing City Club Building next door, but somewhat shorter than the crane height right now.
 

I’m happy to be corrected by anyone who knows, but it doesn’t seem to me like a crane-jump would be needed. 

My hovercraft is full of eels

Ok, the building is great and all but how am I supposed to get ahold of Marie now?

A beautiful sight for a beautiful day
