If you want really-really cheap drinks go to the HUB.

Speaking of bar's -- they are framing the pool-deck bar with rebarb and stuff on Skypoint. Still have done no concrete pour (besides the pool-floor).

I want to see the 8th-10th floor glass on the front of the building... It's going to look great when there isn't this big gaping hole....

John F · August 17th, 2006, 05:47 PM

FINALLY doing a concrete pour on the pooldeck as I write this. Not sure if it's the entire pooldeck or what.

That is one hell of a concrete pumper!!! Wow!!

Quegiebo · August 17th, 2006, 08:41 PM

Dass hwat i'm talkin' 'bout!

Dayz movin' rite along, nah...

John F · August 18th, 2006, 06:21 AM

starting work on the 22nd floor -- that's keeping on pace for topping out in early November.

^That's pretty nifty jahdsh. Well done. I can actually see some people downtown in one of them! It gives some perspective to how well Skypoint is developing relative to other downtown towers.

Quegiebo · August 23rd, 2006, 07:27 PM

Thanks, jahdish. Very cool!

It goes further than that -- it gives you a perception of how this will become the residential section of downtown. I mean the maas block being leveled, knowing two towers are going up directly north of Skypoint...

It's scary because you aren't seeing much preparation by the city for the new glut of citizens in this section of town. Four towers in close proximity with an average of 400 units? 1600 units... Potentially 1600-3200+ residents in a 4 block radius?

Jasonhouse · August 24th, 2006, 03:04 AM

The skyline view from malfunction junction (I-275sb to I-4eb) is getting pretty good lately...

It's interesting to think of what the skyline would look like if even half of the current list of proposals gets built. (it will probably be more like 1/3 built over the next few years)

FLAWDA-FELLA · August 24th, 2006, 09:39 AM

I think that is a fair assessment, given the recent increase in construction costs and the continued slowdown of the real-estate market.

thehappysmith · August 29th, 2006, 12:11 AM

Anyone have a simple jpeg of the construction? I'm deployed and can't put quicktime on the computer at work to see jahdish's renderings.

Good points JF. I'm not sure where I would start if I were a city commisioner, but I think we can agree that the city could be more proactive. If you were a new commish, what would you do to prepare?

John F · August 29th, 2006, 07:52 PM

It goes back to changes that downtown Tampa needs in general -- sidewalk upgrades (though you cannot do that immediately in front of Skypoint or the still-to-be-constructed towers), crosswalk upgrades/improvements.

John F · September 3rd, 2006, 05:56 PM

Changeup time at Skypoint:

The 25th floor gets poured this week. The framing of the 26th floor and up is smaller than the previous floors of the tower.

They also need to heighten the crane again as well as change the camera.

Quegiebo · September 6th, 2006, 05:00 PM

They've set the first balcony up already. Check out the 10th floor, second section of the tower from the west end.

John F · September 6th, 2006, 08:25 PM

Been that way for a few weeks - or at least they had the railings up for it.

John F · September 9th, 2006, 06:43 PM

They brought in more segments for the crane -- another 3 or so. They shoudl be doing the raising later this afternoon or tomorrow.

Still wondering when they are goign to adjust the camera.

Quegiebo · September 9th, 2006, 11:15 PM

I noticed that too. I figure this will be the last time they need to raise the crane. I imagine they'll adjust the camera within a few days.

question -- I used to be able to view the channel 28 interactive cam, but for some reason it will no longer pull up the java script. It stays grey with no right-click option to activate using my mouse.

This is a brand new computer and it's supposed to have all of the latest offerings installed. It was working up until about a week ago and I haven't touched a thing.... just wondering if anyone knows what could have happened. I have no problems with other java enabled scripts, (i.e., Oxblue cams, videos, etc,...)

anyone have a clue?
