Tower at Main & Gervais

[growingup15]

Today's a nice day for someone to go out and get some shots of the progress.

I took some shots of the TMG yesterday. You can see that they are currently working on the 2 floors with the "notch" so it is now at approximately half of its total height. It will be taller than First Citizens and NBSC, but a little shorter than Meridian and Wilbur Smith.

^Thanks for the photo updates. Can't wait until the exterior starts to go in.

I'm expecting the glass to be somewhat transparent with a bluish tint, similar to 201 17th Street in Atlantic Station in Atlanta:

^^^ I for one hope so.

^I was actually just getting ready to say that I just noticed how the top level shifts a little westward, which is the beginning of the tower's slanted edge. I think it will end up looking cool in person.

My initial opinion is that this is not going to look good. I'm all for innovative architecture, but this is just one I don't get. Its a slightly obtuse angle on an otherwise unimpressive building that for some reason has a large notch in the side. But as always I will reserve my final opinion for the final product. Sometimes it changes (like with first citizens). Speaking of the notch did we ever learn what that notch is for? Is it going be a public access area or is it just an outdoor spot for office workers?

heres a shot i took close up to the building as i was passing by i know its not that great but i will will have a better one. and also the second shot is also as i was riding by you can see the the tower is slowly rising above the nbsc building . but i believe if you look @ the bottom of the building they are already starting to add the extirior of the building.

I'll have to wait and see, but I have a strong feeling that TMG is going to have a cooling effect, like a big ice cube, in the heart of the Famously Hot Capital City! Yes!!

Wow, this building is really going up fast, and will have a great impact on the skyline as well.

As long as the buildings create a high quality street level experience, then I don't care how tall they are.

^Thanks for sharing.

Seems like the notch would be bigger. I suppose it's a matter of perspective.
