(PROJECT) GreenArch II

[shavethewhales]

So many renderings on this project. This last one looks the most comprehensive. The roof deck is going to be nice and hot in the summer with the overhang stripped away, but whatever. I'm just ready to see earth moving on this one. I'm guessing they might be waiting on the greenwood building up the street to finish and fill up before getting too far ahead on this.

It will be nice in the spring and fall though.    This angle has probably one of the best skyline views.  It could be somewhat blocked by Santa Fe Square depending on the final design of the office building and/or residential one block south along Greenwood:

Foundations well underway.

Is this going up in conjunction with Greenwood Rising at the corner?  

[shavethewhales]

Yes. 21 Greenwood has been chopped a bit (apparently) and moved eastward to make room for Greenwood Rising.

[shavethewhales]

Steel has been rising at 21 Greenwood.

They are in quite a race to get the Greenwood Rising museum finished for the centennial memorial in 2 weeks. Some of the exterior cladding is done, and TW had photos of some things going up inside. There's no way it will be finished, but hopefully the scaffolding will be able to come down and they'll have a good preview of the interior for the centennial.

This is starting to get closer to completion finally. The street has been closed way too long. Not sure why the city has allowed this.

As more urban development takes place in Tulsa the city should absolutely take a harder stance on street/sidewalk closures in the downtown area and also in any other walkable districts like Cherry Street.  Thinking specifically about the apartment building on Cherry Street that had the sidewalk closed for what seemed like years.

Agreed, I can't believe they were allowed to use the street as a staging area in such a busy area. I have a feeling some special exceptions were made to help expedite construction for the museum by having staging so close and not having to move materials/equipment off site somewhere.

The windows have a pretty harsh glare in the afternoon I noticed. Hopefully they'll coat them.

The trees up top and the balconies make this building interesting, but it's such an odd design. Definitely feels like this project was pulled in too many different directions.

Hopefully they install a streetscape similar to what they've done north of Archer and by Hogan Assessments at 1st.  GreenArch across the street didn't do a very good job with its streetscape IMO.  That is something that can tie all of the these new developments together.

I have no opinion on the building as a whole yet but I'm really digging the rounded corners. It's a minor touch but the lack of 90 degree corners is nice.
