^yep, those are the rendering they have...I couldn't find your last thread on this tower...I miss the search function!

[Dougall5505]

yah supposedly we are getting it back when we get a new server but it hasn't happened yet...

I don't think those designs are current any longer. Thankfully.

[MarkDaMan]

I thought Williams and Dame were looking at developing the block south of Atwater? Are they considering developing both blocks at the same time?

I wonder how long it will be until W&D or G-E pairs up with some company like Guardian to build apartments? No respectable developer would let Trammell Crow be the only one with a high priced apartment tower?

[tworivers]

Last I heard the block south of Atwater was being re-designed to be cheaper to build (less geometric action) after some folks got cold feet. I doubt Atwater sales are helping. Apartments must be more likely than condos at this point.

[Dougall5505]

how are the sales for atwater doing?

[westsider]

^ Sloooooooow as molasses. Block 27 doesnt look any more boring than the meriwether IMO.

[tworivers]

I'd like to see a couple of perfectly round towers on the block, kinda like that one in the 'Couv...

The next block north is supposed to be a hotel, right?

[pdxstreetcar]

i want to see some really slender point towers in sowa (like benson tower skinny)

*bump*

11 months later... anyone heard anything?

can we presume on hold as the market shakes itself out?

[dkealoha]

Wow another 11 months have gone by... Any news? They planted some grass on this block last I walked by.

[sowat]

all or much of the dirt that was excavated from the Mirabella ended up on block 27. I suspect they planted grass just to tidy up the area, and minimize erosion and summer dust, since development on this site is probably years away now, unfortunately.

I also wonder if they'll open this new grassy area up for dog owners once they start construction of South Waterfront Neighborhood Park?
