It's getting to the "wow that's a tall building" phase and not just a stub. Pretty cool to see

[stasu1213]

The pace is moving along faster. I would not be surprised if the tower would top off by fall and the exterior completed by next spring.

I view this site from the 12 floor of the One Campus Martius building. The glass is now above my view. As a result, I can't really see anything anymore because all the action is much higher up than what I can see.

I observed a picture of the north side of the Hudson's building and the finished glass does not have those vertical metal looking bars between the glass like the Woodward and Gratiot side of the building has. Anyone else notice?

On the tower portion? The renderings show a slightly different pattern on the north side compared to the other sides of the building, which matches what they are currently building.

The top of the tower has tapered in again.

Attachment 42640Attachment 42640it looks like the pool for the hotel will go through the entire building and extend out of the building?
if so that would be really cool
like an infinity pool?

[southen]

That is just for loading material into the building. The pool is on the interior and faces Woodward. In earlier photos you could see where they were reinforcing areas for the additional weight.

[Detroitdave]

That would’ve been cool though lol

Every time I watch the Tigers I can see more progress.

The visibility of the Hudson's Tower from Comerica Park is fantastic. The only regret is that for about 80% of the seats, the view of the Guardian Building will now be blocked.

I love the lighting effects that these two buildings produces on the sidewalks

Wouldn't it be something if GM was to sell its headquarters and take up two floor inside the Hudson Block

No, not at all... because that would mean that they would likely move the rest of their Renaissance Center staff to Warren's Tech Center.

I wonder how many feet tall is it now

[Jimaz]

I wonder how many feet tall is it now

There's a fairly easy way to determine that empirically.

1. Measure your distance D from the building.
2. Use a protractor and plumb bob to measure the angle θ between the base of the building and its top.

The height of the building is D ● tan{θ}.

I'd love to see someone do this.

Based on this image from about 2 months ago when it was in the 400+ ft. range [[photo from the Book Tower)... I would bet it is approaching 500 ft.
