Yeah, I think it is pretty safe to say, that MainPlace is under construction now. I doubt it gets delayed at all and site work will happen soon.

JManc · #68 Posted **Feb 5, 2008, 10:33 PM**

wait until the actual construction starts (foundations, beams, etc) and then i'll move this.

Xeelee · #69 Posted **Feb 6, 2008, 2:56 PM**

ok cool.

This is a representation of a generic floorplate for the building, supplied by a Hines representative working on the project.

FrancoRey · #71 Posted **Feb 8, 2008, 5:20 AM**

LOVE this building. I wish Hines would build something like that in Denver! Our last proposal died, but it was half as attractive and not as tall. If anything, I hope they bring it back.

Once proposed 1100 15th Street by Hines, denverinfill.com

Great_Hizzy · #72 Posted **Feb 8, 2008, 3:38 PM**

Hey, that Denver proposal was indeed attractive! It brings back memories of the canceled AIM Tower that would've gone up in Greenway Plaza.

Xeelee · #73 Posted **Feb 8, 2008, 5:42 PM**

You mean this one?

FrancoRey · #74 Posted **Feb 8, 2008, 11:10 PM**

Attractive buildings all around! I'd take any of the three, but ironically my own the least.

Yes, and it was the same architect as well. Just a modification of the design that was pitched for the Houston project essentially.
