A few weeks back, I wrote about the new Queen City Square tower going up between Third and Fourth Streets on Sycamore. Here’s a shot of it on Friday of last week.

This growing concrete structure is the core of the building, which actually sits in a 60-foot hole in the ground. Crews will finish this first and build the tower around it. The building on schedule to open in Spring of 2011.

It’s nice to see new construction in these tough times.
Travis and I agree on the economic aspects of the construction of this tower, as do many other people.
Growth is good, although here in Las Vegas there’s so much growth that the buildings remain empty or are slow to fill. Still, we do see some progress with more buildings getting more tenants, although slower than originally expected. But new housing is still booming, too.
Anyway, interesting post!
