Building Heights in Area


I found basically the same information as what other people have posted but here is a building height calculator I found:


as well as a website that shows general building heights in number of floors:

ARCH 305 Building Heights

This is similar to other posts but here are some of the building heights I found around the site

Guenther Corporate Headquarters

Steel House Lofts

Campstreet Lofts
78 ft (6 stories)

Building Heights


This site gives a general height(in number of floors) that is up for interpretation.
http://www.emporis.com/neighborhood/southtown-centralloop

However, this site gives a more exact reference height of MOST of the adjacent buildings in the county.

While not extensive, this provides a basis to draw from.
