Four concrete trucks on site at the same time today (3:20 PM). Must be some serious pouring going on.

They're filling each drilled hole / pier / anchor / whatever the technical term is one by one as they are ready. This is also why the mobile crane is there and gone repeatedly.

Having watching the progress over the past weeks, the placement and diameter of these drilled holes certainly seems random or sporadic. I can't figure out any pattern that correlates to the building layout itself. If anyone has extra time and is bored, you could probably watch the time lapse day by day and mark each hole and its diameter... would also probably give us a better idea as to how many more they're goind to drill before they move onto the next phase of construction.

Here's what i was able to get from the downloadable timelapse. It may still just be early, but i'm not seeing any pattern here.

I know it's like watching water boil, but I check the webcam every day, just waiting for the first sign of one of the columns rising above ground level.

I'm still completely confused by the locations of the foundations they've drilled and poured thus far. I looked up the bentonite process and that makes sense... but I agree. This one just feels like they're going at a really really slow pace.

I also find it strange that no additional renderings have been released by now. There’s not even an image of the tower on the construction fence.

Everyone is anxious to see progress and can't wait until this building adorns our skyline. There has been so much progress in the CWE over the last ten years. Don't let the much anticipated building of this structure over the next 18-24 months cause any heart attacks. Be patient.

Interesting trio of pilings forming an arc in the lower left.

Some interesting new forms starting to appear:

no basement?

^^ i wonder if they're not just excavating at the moment (supposedly the previous building's foundation is still down there) rather than pouring pilings in random locations. that trio of "pilings" ^^^ seems to have become a pit ^^.

Update from the cam today. Foundations are starting to come together. This will be an interesting structure to watch go up by the looks of things. The bottom left looks to be coming together in preparation to go vertical.

I guess four drills (along with the crane, forklift, two backhoes, two bobcats, and skyjack) just wasn't enough. They had to bring in that fifth red one.

The amount of activity on that tiny site is dizzying.

framer · PostJun 14, 2018#4142018-06-14T04:07+00:00

I noticed that Clayco's website says that this will have a reinforced concrete structure. I had assumed it would be steel, given the unusual angles and such.

PostJun 14, 2018#4152018-06-14T19:39+00:00

Looking at the camera today, they're definitely prepping to pour some above-grade, first-floor columns. Rebar is in place in the lower left corner.

This is when it gets good!

PostJun 15, 2018#4162018-06-15T16:38+00:00

I drove by this morning, and I think it's safe to say that this bad boy is officially above ground!

^Exciting to see this happening

I think, based on looking at the time-lapse video so far, that where the drills are now will be the last holes drilled. After the holes are reinforced, filled in and then excavated, we could see the whole site look like the Southwest Corner by July 2nd (that is my estimate). It amazes me how we didn't get to this point sooner as there were 4 drills on a fairly small site. After this, I would give it until Mid to late July that we see the Crane go up. followed closely by the beginning of the second floor. The parking podium is going to take a while as it requires the construction of ramps and what not. After the podium is finished, this thing will soar into the sky.

In other news, It has been 108 days since the start of construction.

Went by the site today and took these photos. Can't wait to see construction pick up, which I would expect to be soon. The current supports are probably 15 feet above the ground, so the height of the first floor.

Then I took this photo last August from Art Hill. It really shows how tall One Hundred will be. I would guess that after the 25th floor we would see it rising from this view.

Overall, as discussed on here before, the site really isn't that big. The garage part will take the longest to do as it has ramps and is on the largest part of the site. The tower is only half of the podium/parking base so it should really fly past floor 5.

^Cool. Great to see things going vertical. Also, I didn't expect to see Citizen Park from Art Hill.

framer · PostJun 21, 2018#4202018-06-21T16:32+00:00

One of those vertical-pumping concrete trucks on site this morning. Filling those first forms.

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know if the garage will extend further east than the area that is currently fenced in?

It'll actually be smaller that the currently fenced in area (unless you meant the lower, orangish-red fence in the interior of the overall site, which would be correct). The darker red area on the left in the above image will be the footprint of the garage.

Looks like the first piece of the tower crane has arrived on site. Center of picture:

chriss752 · PostJun 22, 2018#4242018-06-22T18:19+00:00

It is in place! But the weird thing is the location. It is in the center of the parking portion.

chaifetz10 · PostJun 22, 2018#4252018-06-22T19:51+00:00

I think it makes perfect sense. The parking podium on that end doesn't need to go up till the end as long as they can build what's required to support the tower itself first. Plus as the crane gets higher it'll need to connect to the building at some point for stability purposes.

They'll need room to the East for staging and other equipment too.
