thanks momentum. That would be consistent with other skyscraper complexes that have podiums (the podium is building area immediately attached to the tower). So true, we were inconsistent in calling the long building podium, but one could argue too that if there is constant ingress/egress then the long building could really be podium too. ...

anyways - good to hear Devon is really providing great information. And I second the hope that the tower will be taller. Maybe not 1100 feet, but I would like to see it at least 300 meters (just short of 1,000 feet) so that we can have our likely ONLY supertall skyscraper. ..

Hopefully Devon will acquire some companies and shoot for 2 million sq feet justifying the additional height to minimum supertall status. ..

Might as well (finger's crossed!).

I doubt it gets taller, they wouldn't change it this far into construction.

Only hope to reach such status is a super tall pole at top. Maybe a constant flame torch all night.

Burning Natural Gas...that will look good to their shareholders. Burning the product.

So true! We want to show the world how plentiful natural gas supply we have. It will be very iconic.

Thunder, sometimes I wonder if you live in reality.

Yeah, what would be the point of Devon keeping it a secret if they were going to make it taller. Its not like their having a skyscraper race with another tower like the 1930's.

Unless they went all covert on us and changed the plans without holding a public press conference notifying the public that the building would be taller than 850. Maybe they went down to 850 to make it taller than 925. It's total speculation and yeah, it would be sweet, but I'd agree unlikely.

We should have a whole other thread for speculation and unlikely scenarios...seriously

I agree, the other thread could discuss the alien spaceship landing pad being built nw of the main tower.

Or the state fair space needle being relocated to the top of Devon tower.

As far as actual discussion goes, within the last two hours (when I could only access the cam from my phone cause the site wouldn't work on Firefox), I did notice they have started placing glass on Floor 4 now!

The newest construction vid will be up later tonight or overnight into tomorrow. I was slow starting to upload footage today.

Hey, you know what? That's perfect. I got paid today, so now I have something exciting to fill the Friday with!

They are also pouring the first third of the 12th floor!

Thanks you so much for doing this! AMAZING!

These would be nice to see as the towers by the river in the near future, or something like them.

Unless it is somewhere I can't see...I don't understand the confusion behind the floor numbering. The only glass I see on the camera is on floors 2 and 3...

Do people keep counting the first floor as 2 floors?

There is a mysterious and never-ending confusion on the actual floor numbering. As I see it, no. 11 is now being laid...others say 12. I suspect legal counsel will be needed to unravel the mystery. I use my cursor--and move up from the bottom to count. What system others may use--I am not sure of...

Speaking of floor-numbering issues, I hope Devon will strike a blow against superstition and will have a numbered 13th floor, unlike so many other skyscrapers around the country.

I suspect they will not...superstition rules...and leasing that floor in years to come by anyone would be needlessly difficult. Blame horror movies and people like Stephen King...it is a curious thing though...in this day and age this still goes on...

[Thunder]

I am sure Devon will be professional and maintain the 13th floor.

Unless it was the plan...all along...

Point taken--it will soon be known...I am for 13th, thus--reality, but we shall see which concept wins out...
