Well, the top of Austin anyway. The local developer on the 360 condo tower (Taylor Andrews, center) invited some people from Ballet Austin (like board member Forrest Preece, right) to go on a hardhat tour of the 360 building. (Ballet Austin is the 360's close neighbor with their Butler Dance Education Center.) In this picture we are standing on the 44rd floor, looking east. The construction just over Taylor's head with the white crane is the Monarch. The red crane to my left (you may have to click on the picture to enlarge) is where the Spring condo is under construction. The red thing to FFP's right? Somebody's lunch. The project has around 400 construction workers working on it at the moment. This is the last floor although it doesn't have windows or a roof at the moment. The spire will soar a little higher and then you Austinites will see the traditional 'topped out' tree in time for the holiday! I'm running late today and don't have time for links but you can find more on the 360 and Ballet by using a search on this blog or the labels.
