Getting higher. It takes patience to wait for the Wells Fargo tower to get lit up too.

Biking down 5th/up Portland this morning, this looked (to me) surprisingly nice.
Re: Portland Tower - 516 S. 8th St.
By my count, two more floors and it's done!

I was wary of those narrow windows and the podium as it was going up, but it's starting to look pretty good.Biking down 5th/up Portland this morning, this looked (to me) surprisingly nice.

Agreed. It's also a nice surprise to see that the Sexton Building's ghost sign will still be (mostly) visible.

This development is visible in the Kraus/Anderson development web cam:

This looks really good when biking south on Portland right before you cross Washington.

I've been surprised by this one. It's definitely coming together. Here's a pic from a week or so back.

Once the new KA development is finished, the broken wall of mid/high-rises along Portland is going to look great; hopefully that will continue with the Thrivant lot. I know it has been said before, but this area has so much potential to be excited about.

The Thrivent Lot could really be the new heart and gem of Downtown East.

That lot, and getting it done right, has become much more important now.The Thrivent Lot could really be the new heart and gem of Downtown East.

Re: Portland Tower - 516 S. 8th St.
I always thought the Thrivent lot would have been a much better location for a park (prior to any discussion about the current Commons under construction) since it would tie together Elliot Park, the Armory, had just as many blockfaces fronting it available for development, and could have even had a "Loring Greenway" style cut-through to Chicago Avenue southward.
Re: Portland Tower - 516 S. 8th St.
The Thrivent lots are critical to get right since they are some of the last full-block surface lots in the CBD without a proposal. For that reason, I would support waiting through the tail end of this building cycle for a better proposal the next time around. It needs quality materials and the serious financial backing to make it a large, dense project worthy of the site.
