Is every future Cordish building in KC under protection from that 'affordable housing city ordinance' because of the guidelines they signed for incentives like 12 years ago?

Should anyone have a current photo of construction progress... ..Don't be bashful posting it.

Nothing to see yet. Bare concrete columns for the first floor are all that's up. Still.

I wonder if we’ll have a few floors off the ground by the time of the Big 12 tournament in mid-March.

@You, Last Gentleman.

Thank you very much. Made my day.

You're living up to your handle.

I think so. Pending weather may even be wrapping up parking garage structure pours at that point.

Any reason given for slow progress so far? Only see a small handful of works on site at any given time

I believe they are on schedule but structural concrete needs time to cure before adding more weight. 7 days to be at 70% strength.

1 floor per week is the norm. Structural concrete does not appear to have progressed in 1 month but I haven't paid extreme attention to it.

^^ True. Slow on the installation of "slip" forms (climbing forms) .. ..And bad weather. Add a failed slump test..

What bad weather? It hasn't snowed the entire winter and it's barely been cold any days in December. The project should be. moving fast over this.

Cranes + giant metal forms + wind = bad news. Empire State Building took 13 months to build because no one cared about safety. Workers dying were a part of the gig but we’ve obviously decided to value human life, so that means safety first and foremost.

Empire State was/is steel framed, so could go up faster than concrete.

Ok then I would’ve just said “the wind” not “the weather” because that’s a bit confusing

True but the 3400 workers and utter disregard for safety allowed them to work at a 4.5 floors/week pace. Unheard of these days even with steel built.

The Chinese still do it.
