[The Vue]

Im was just trying to point out how high it will be from the ground level. When it says height of the building that very well could be from the deepest point in the ground to the very top as even though its below ground its still apart of the building. Most people think of a building as just from ground up, but have to remember the building itself goes well underground and that is counted in the total height.

I'm not knowledgeable enough with architecture to dispute how you come up with the actual height of the building. But, that's kind of misleading in terms of saying it's a ~625 ft building when in fact it's really ~550 ft. Never the less, the Vue will still have a solid presense in the skyline.

The ceiling height in the condos is about 9'2'' and then 10-12'' of concrete slab per floor or something around there and you get 10 ft per floor. 51 stories and there isn't that much above the highest condos. They are having to drive the caissons from 50-80ft deep into the bedrock so if you add those two together then you would come close to mid 600's, but the actual building is about 550 ft. in the air.

10ft per floor is quite practical for residentail and hotels.

The avg in the building will be a little less than 10' ceilings, and will top off around 550 ft.

The average floor height for residential and hotels has been historically less than 13ft. Especially if this structure is post-tension.

Its nice to see all the equipment on sight. Probably won't be too long before some tower cranes get on sight.

I meet a home owner for the Vue and he comes out and watch whats going on . He is very happy to see work started.

Is it me or does it seem like construction has been very slow on the tower lately? Any idea what is going on?

Oddly, they are deconstructing the top floor of Aloft today.....the prefab concrete floor panels and a steel beam have been removed....
