To make sure I understand the layout of this correctly: the corner closest to us in this picture will be on the NW corner of NW 12th and Walker, correct?

Correctamundo.

There was apparently an "oops" on the parking garage. They had erected several floors on the next bay of the garage last week, but then disassembled it and stacked the pieces around the site. Hopefully the delay will be brief.

Awesome, Will. Thanks so much.

This photo really struck me because it shows the scale of this project:

This development is going to be incredible, it really changes the whole vibe of the area!

Does anyone know what's going on with leasing at The Edge? Are they completely full? I'm going to be graduating in December and am starting to look in the area, looks like when they finish and when im trying to move might line up well.

I am with you on this one sir..I graduate in May and will be looking for a move.

So is this going to be a concrete structure instead of a stick built one?

If so...wow...I'm even more excited about this project that I originally was.

I believe the concrete part is for the parking garage in the middle and the actual apartments on the outside will be stick built.

Exactly the same way Level was done...

As with anything in OKC, parking first... then housing.

At least it looks like a really solid storm shelter for the complex once the sticks blow away!

Has a tornado ever hit downtown OKC directly or midtown? Heritage hills homes have been there since early 1900's......

List of tornadoes striking downtown areas of large cities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tornadoes_striking_downtown_areas_of_large _cities)

OKC is not on the list of downtowns struck by a tornado... is that true?

I noticed several big rig trucks hauling what I can only assume is the floor of the parking garage to the site this morning. It loooks like they could be done with putting the cement parts of the parking garage together by the end of this weekend.

I drove by here on Sunday...sorry for no pic...but they had reinforced concrete columns going up on the east side of this project.

Making good progress (photo courtesy Downtown Development twitter feed):

I took photos this week but just realized they're not up on my Flickr as a set. If you scroll down on my photostream you can find them Pete.

Wow, thanks!

That's the SW corner of Walker and 13th closest to the camera.


Now that the garage is pretty much assembled it looks like the steel portion may begin to take shape pretty quickly.

Looks like it's not stick built. Bravo.

Yay, the northeast entrance!

Well that escalated quickly... I was at Louie's Sunday and they just had some of the concrete pillars set.

Well that escalated quickly...

The Edge as seen from the Ambassador Hotel:

(slightly zoomed in image from the original at https://twitter.com/dtOKCbuilds)

That angle is going to look a lot better a year from now! Can't wait to see it!!

Attempted to slip in a render for the image above. Unfortunately, there aren't any that really fit that vantage point. I took the best one I could find, flipped the left/right views, and chopped it in.

The angles and perspectives are far enough off to make a proper overlay impossible. Nevertheless, here's what I came up with:

http://dl.dropbox.com/s/goc32vv2ak32z7e/EdgeRender_from_AmbassadorHotel.jpg

It's pretty awful, in terms of accuracy. But it still gives an idea of where things are headed. The scale isn't too far off, anyway -- that is going to be one big mama jama when it's finished.

Needs to be pushed all the way to walker. The east facade beyond the corner would not be visible from that angle

Yep, and you can see the supports for the second floor.

Yeah, it's pretty bad, like I said. It's not much more than a squint-and-use-your-imagination kind of exercise.

Do you have a rendering that shows where the sex shops are going to be?

Hilarious

Here are a couple of better view points that may be easier to Photoshop the rendering on.

You can't do that though, because then the old folks will go there thinking it's a cafeteria...

There was an additional floor built along Walker when I drove by this morning.

Really? That's awesome.

Just for reference, here's the side along Walker (eastern boundary of the project):

That pic was posted just 4 days ago. According to shawnw, it's already one floor higher.

Wood framing for the 2nd story apartments has gone up rapidly today. I took some pics and emailed Pete to post soon.

Here are Metro's pictures:
