Thank you for the effort! Great shot and update.

Elevator shaft #2 peering over the trees as it continues to rise.

Is it safe to say we should enjoy this ramp view while we have it? Is that the foundation of the garage in the foreground? No doubt that would block much of this view from the 295 North on-ramp.

I haven't been at that end of downtown recently; which sign was it that was causing the complaints?

 

[markhb]

That's a damn nice sign!

Both cores look like they're topped out now...

Double their height and it would have been perfect.

Double their height and it would have been perfect.

Agreed. It would have become a high-tech modern monster of a statement coming around the bend to see that.

Steel must be coming soon, right?

Steel must be coming soon, right?

Yup, says fall 2025

Double crane action! Great to see more crane activity in the city.
Parking garage is going up quickly as well.
(Don’t mind me accidentally posting this in the Rock Row thread… I guess I was trying to manifest crane activity over there too)

Northern gateway to Portland

I’d like to think the guy with his hands on his head is a NIMBY panicking while looking at all those cranes casting shadows on the once beautiful Back Cove!

The parking lot at 185 Washington Avenue…

 

[nomc]

This end of the garage seems to have topped out

Oh, and STEEL

More Steel and site shots

Didn’t realize how prominent the garage would be! Hope the housing is even more prominent in phase two. Roux is building with the future in mind in many senses but they may have overlooked how important housing (eventually) 2,000+ students will be.

Just in case anyone is interested in a tour of the site.

I keep looking at the swing bridge and the huge, missed opportunity that could be used. That ship has sailed.
