This area desperately needs something other than glass. Red brick, a warm stone like Scotia Plaza, brushed metal, etc. I'd even take limestone at this juncture. No more bloody glass, for God's sake.

Word at UT is that the crane is going up for the taller of the two U Condos.

I'm glad you posted the original video with the better music. The newer one with the updated "U" song is terrible.

I couldn't agree more. The FAD condo proposal gives me hope though.

I'll hold off then however, I won't be waiting until the entire building is ready for occupancy. A few floors requires an occupancy permit and signifies that most of the base building functions have been completed some time ago. It usually takes 10 to 15 weeks for the tenant to outfit a floor.

Trump's another story. It's essentially two buildings stacked on one another. One is complete however, the other one is far from being hard hat free.

As to your other post, I don't think the fingers are meant to be enclosed

Not 100% sure, but I think the Bow fingertips will be covered. They are going to be our auditorium and another gathering space.
