First National Center

[Teo9969]

they are a publicly traded company they work for their shareholders ...

meaning they should do whatever they can to be as financially solvent as possible ... actually it is their duty

No

[jonny d]

No

Why not? For profit entities are meant to do just that - turn a profit, by legal means. And if you don't, then shareholders can vote people out. Just saying no means nothing.

No...


What Teo might be saying is that if a company are assholes like you suggest then thier customers will choose other companies in the market unless the company has a monopoly. I.E. my relationship with Walmart.

So anyway, about that First National Center....

and mugofbeer, the quote is from Star Trek 6. Khitomer Conference.

They poured the concrete for the ramp this morning, crews are out troweling now

[Pete]

Looks like they are about to start moving a lot faster with the ramp structure:

[DowntownMan]

This parking garage ramp seems to be moving at the slowest pace. I’m sure therr is work begins the scenes but it’s still on the 1st level

Has anything started to gut the actual tower yet?

[Pete]

Has anything started to gut the actual tower yet?

Yes.

They are actually pretty far along.

[Pete]

I believe the two ramps to the left are for exit and the two on the right are entrances.

[Teo9969]

Man this project may finish at the perfect time to put out some advertising to major metro areas to get some people to come take a look and stay at an awesome hotel.

[5alive]

Is this what the front of the parking garage is supposed to look like or have I got things turned around?

[Pete]

^

That is correct.

[HOT ROD]

so it will still appear to be an office tower. Interesting.

[HOT ROD]

my guess is the big ramp is entrance and exit for the residences/hotel and general public, the lower ramps will be for operations/freight (left) and bldg staff/management (right).

Beginning to better visualize how that parking garage is going to work.

[shawnw]

At city council it was stated that the garage is 75% done

[jn1780]

It doesn't look 75% done. Maybe the remainder of the ramp will go up quicker?

[Rover]

If they are talking about the garage itself, I could believe 75% done. With the ramp building included, that would seem to be a stretch.

West arcade in main street parking has new window decals advertising living at the First National, along with a website: https://liveatthefirst.com/

[bombermwc]

Is it just me or does the height of each deck look really low for a garage? Could just be the angle. Looks like no Suburbans or big wheeling trucks are going in this one.
