DALLAS, April 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Austin, Texas - 500 W. 2nd Street, the
29-story, 500,000 square foot office tower located at San Antonio
and 2nd Street in Austin reached a
significant construction milestone over the April 18-19, 2015, weekend and made history in
the process. In order to lay the foundation for 500 W. 2nd Street,
construction manager The Beck Group coordinated downtown
Austin's largest-ever continuous
concrete foundation pour. The construction process placed more than
10,680 cubic yards of concrete in just over 24 hours.
The resulting monumental foundation slab is more than nine feet
deep and holds more than 1,200 tons of rebar support. The highly
anticipated office tower will soon begin vertical construction,
with two tower cranes to erect on site within the next two
weeks.
Trammell Crow Company and Principal Real Estate Investors owns
and is developing the entire master planned project, along with its
first phase. Key team members include Gensler as project architect
and The Beck Group as construction manager.
