Any best guesses about when we'll start seeing some dirt moved at the Tower 8 or Liberty Sky lots?

Liberty Sky should be getting close to going to the planning commission. They should be getting their trademark/service mark for the name/term "Liberty Sky" later this month.
After they get the mark, Cowboy and Boyer should be going to the planning commission. I would hope they are able to move quickly through the processes and they should be able to start moving dirt and begin excavation possibly in October with foundation work starting in November/December.
Tower 8 hopefully around mid-September. I would hope for foundation work before the end of the year but most of that depends on the final design and height.
In another set of news, I am fairly sure that yesterday was also the due date or possibly the initial review date for the 255 South State Street RDA project proposals. The RDA had selected 2 local and 2 out of state developers to submit proposals. I have heard that at least 2 of the selected developers would like to build over 20 stories.
This means that there could be potentially 4 20+ story towers on State Street under construction at the same time if the Carl's Jr site processes quickly.
3 on the East side of State, 1 on West side.
If it wasn't for the fact that the majority of the projects that we are seeing are residential, I would say only 1/2 to 1/3 would happen. But luckily residential is doing very well and is greatly needed at all levels as well.
