Trump Tower New Orleans Has New Design (1 Viewer)

[alon504]

From everything I've heard construction will begin in First Quarter, 2007. It will be the tallest building in New Orleans at 67 storeys. I've heard height ranges from 720 feet all the way up to over 850 feet. We'll find out the facts in a couple of months. They have added a needle, which will likely have the height somewhere around 800 feet.

I love it... Man, I remember being home for vacation the week before Katrina hit when Trump & Nagin made the anoouncement about this thing. I'm so glad it's still on. Incidentally, does anyone know the height of One Shell Square by comparison?

Don't know the height, but Shell Sqaure is 51 stories.
I think The-Building-Formerly-Known-As-Place-St.Charles is 52.

Open the pod bay door, HAL.

I can't do that, Dave.

That's a good looking building.

 

[GW93]

Is it just me, or does that building kind of look like a can of air freshener?

 

[Jeff Miller]

The "Memorial tower" definitely goes against most architectural convention, but I like it.

No taking anything away from this trump tower, but it has nothing on the new buildings that will go on ground zero. JMO
