Thanks a lot. I was shooting blind over a 6’4” concrete wall (I’m 6’ 3”). I also think it fits in from this distance

Got my dinner from Mexico City (try the street taco platter) and tried out the Parklet. It is very pleasant because it is near a large tree so in the afternoon is in the shade.

Yea, Fredrikson & Byron is looking for 200,000 sq feet. And other firms.

The height changed from 528 feet to 550 feet. It is 41 occupied floors but with mechanical and the way the city requires floors to be measured they call it 48. The top penthouse is 41.

After Elan, Luxe and 10 West End office, the only parcel left will be for the South office building. Then West End will be full.
Personally I would guess there would eventually be redevelopment of the older small office buildings just south of West End.

Elan West End. 164 units. Not to be confused with the Luxe apartments that will go where the Olive Garden is 50 feet west.

This area in Moscow is as tall as it is wide. I counted at least 8 buildings taller than the IDS within 3 blocks.
