BTW, Devon has a poster in the lobby of their building talking about the construction and it clearly states that the floor curently under construction is the 3rd floor and the 'mini' floor is the 2nd floor.

Insider posted this a few pages back.


Anyways with this floor about to be completed, we get a better feel of the tower's eventual volume and dimensions.

Does anyone know where this rendering came from? A nightime view of the Devon Tower...

[kinggober]

The floor they're pouring/placing now should look pretty close to this

Looks like a model...

As andimthomas pointed out this is not a rendering, rather a shot of the model with the internal lights on showing the ceiling of whatever room it was in at the time.

I think it will be called the 2nd floor though, since we already established the "2nd floor" will be a Mezzanine level.

Also does anyone know what the smaller building to the north of the tower is? I assume that will be the Colcord's new convention/business meeting building?

NO. As established by Devon, the floor currently being worked on is the 3rd floor. The "Mezzanine level" or "mini floor" is the 2nd floor. This information is available in the Devon lobby.

Very perceptive gents...I see that now...I had been modestly terrified about those two black UFO's above the vision...kind of a neat effect....I found this on the web somewhere...

seriously, who freakin cares what floor they are on? give it a rest already.

As the Germans would say..."Was der chef sagt ist stimmt immer!"

Just a friendly discussion

I can't wait till they reach the 3rd/4th floor! lmao

Are the columns going to be square from now on?

[OKC@heart]

From this level on they will no longer be exposed and so will be rectilinear.

[OKCisOK4me]

Are the columns going to be square from now on?

Yeah, and if you look at the cam shot you can see the first inner column's base, on the freshly poured east side, has already been squared with forms...

[jmarkross]

It is nice to see that most of the first few floors' features are about done and the remaining floors will be going up soon...finally it looks like a tower under construction...I assume things will be moving more quickly now vertically.

If you consider the first 6 floors being up by August 1st and it being equal to the height of the west parking garage, then yeah, I guess that is progress... I'll call it progress when I'm driving eastbound on Northwest Expressway next to Baptist Hospital and I see it defined from there.

[Platemaker]

Six floors by June (approx 100 feet tall) and glass on the exterior by July.

End of July at least.... the top of the elevator shaft is at about floor level of the Colcord's 6th floor.

Patience is a virtue...especially in constructing tall buildings...I just hope I live long enough to see all those nice German windows installed!

You're not prone to driving drunk are you? Being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Gotten struck by lightning before?

If you're older then I applaud you for recording your marks on the net. My parents are in no way intrigued enough to become a member of a forum...

Well...I am 61-1/2, have been in a large earthquake in 1994 (4 miles from epicenter) have had to dig fingers in the ground with a tornado overhead, been in two bad car accidents in Dallas (and I have NEVER lived there) and had a litany of health problems, so...I do HOPE I live that long--I am just an old eccentric guy who still likes to be the young boy who liked to see things built. When you get out of touch with the times and technology--you are headed for the ash-heap of history.

[mburlison]

Yep, it's cool to keep up w/ the tech... my Dad has been in I.T. since the 50's, still working, not thinking of retiring (now 76 yrs old) and he's not one of those stuck in the old tech, proficient in Oracle, VB .net, all the above, just saying that as we age, may as well keep up with it all !

I took these pictures on June 4th, so I am a bit tardy posting these up. My apologies, but hope you enjoy:

Thanks for the great pictures Vandy, especially the north side ones...can never quite see that area on the cam. One gets a good perspective of the actual size of things down there from your photos from ground evel...nice...
