In all there are 58 highrises pictured here. ![]() So I did those along with the ones I had already built, plus a few more. He wanted the CLB tower included along with the post office towers, The Monarch, 360, and The Austonian. I added the buildings he requested on top of what I had already built, both old and new. Probably in the neighborhood of 101,000 pieces after I officially count them. With this new batch of Legos that puts the number of Legos I own to just over 100,000 pieces. At that time it was around 15,000 Legos and I've counted every new piece that I've gotten since, (unless it's in bulk buckets or sets from a store, which say how many pieces they contain). About 10 years ago I actually set down and counted every single Lego piece that I owned. Now one more cool note is that I've been building things with Legos since I was atleast 5 years old and I've never gotten rid of a single piece. He indicated it would be in the area of 400 feet to 500 feet tall in the way he lifted his hand above the block. This is the block bounded by 3rd, 4th, Lavaca & Colorado. He also told me he and his partner may be working on a tower on the block just east of the William P. And once it does breakground they'll tell me how tall exactly, to the mainroof and mechical penthouse/penthouse screen.Īs of lastnight, the CLB Tower was approved on the 2nd & 3rd reading. He said once it gets closer to breaking ground they'll know for sure how tall it'll be. He also said it'll be in the neighborhood of 390 feet to 400 feet tall. He said the tower will be 112 feet long, along West 7th Street. Rick said that once they get approval for the building that they plan to breakground within 5 months. ![]() ![]() So I spent 4 days straight working on the model of downtown so that he could come by this past Wednesday and photograph it. He wanted the update of the model so that he could photograph it and include the photos in CLB's presentation before the city council which means the photos will be on tv. So we talked through emails and on the phone and he offered to buy the necessary Legos to build the model and I of course accepted! I would get credit for doing the model and he would tell me some things about the building, heights and such. I also of course needed more Legos to do the model. I needed more renderings for the projects for detail, and wanted to wait a while on some of the buildings to let them progress more in construction and I needed more detailed heights. I told him that I was waiting on a few things before I could get more done. Rick Hardin, a developer in Austin who is currently working on the planned CLB tower at 7th & Rio Grande wanted to know if I had modeled their building, or if I could possibly do it. I got an interesting PM two weekends ago at the Austin Skyscraper Forum.
