For Chicago thats not necessarily true.
Also parts of NYC were literally built on manmade fill- Battery Park City for one.
Who knew that we'd have all these 90 story skyscrapers here if it wasn't for the pesky soils.

Honestly it is demand driving that rather than engineering.

Less than 18 months construction seems fast.

Pleistocene soils in the areas around NOLA are as deep as 250 feet. So good luck building a skyscraper in that.

What sort of bearing pressures do you think hold up one shell square? (Thats assuming they are end bearing (
)) Or perhaps more relevant what sort of loads do those skin friction piles see?
Eta: each precast concrete friction pile goes down 210'. At 52 stories, plus average floor load per office and W21 steel interior beams, you could realistically get a rough estimate using ASD load cases.
LINK to a pdf describing the structural system at one shell square
Eta 2: One shell square is roughly 700' high. For comparison purposes, the Chrysler bldg at the top floor is 900'.

I am pretty sure the family owns some if not all the parking lots over there. There was some kind of upset about the property tax.

Section 8 by 2025
Not going to read the entire thread, but has anyone mentioned that a $70 million HUD grant means that it is almost certainly required to be mixed income housing? Section 8 families will be placed amongst the high end condos from day one.

Nice spot for a gang of beggars.

You couldn’t even read the first page??

I did read the first, and after a couple of jokes about it going Section 8 in 2025, I just decided to point out that it will likely be that way from day 1. And it will.
Directly from HUD about mixed finance projects (private investors as well as HUD money):
quote:
mixed-finance developments include public housing units, tax credit units, and market rate units (not rent restricted). HUD encourages the "floating" of public housing units within the larger project, rather than "dedicating" specific units, to ensure that full integration and equal access to amenities is provided to public housing residents. Having "floating" units is also a pragmatic policy, as it provides flexibility to the property manager to rent available units to households with appropriate income levels, ensuring compliance with the Regulatory and Operating agreements.
It takes hoodrats from public housing and puts them into buildings with higher income people under control of a third party (not the local Housing Authority). But it has to be arranged by local government. Landrieu fricked you good with this one. The market rate units won't be market rate for long, and you'll have Cabrini Green in the heart of downtown NO.
