That Chinese lettering would have looked great above the Arch

5/10/18 - 6 more tower floors to go + penthouse

this really has a nice impact from so many angles (obviously due to the lack of height surrounding it). very excited to see this proceed...and hopefully some friends will start sprouting up in the surrounding area, too.

Have we seen any renderings of the redesigned tower from an East/West orientation? Currently, there are enormous, drab, blank, tan-colored panels going up the West facade. These panels make the W's North wall look elegant!

Alas, I could not snap a photo...

I didn't get a picture, but it looks really good from 10th and Market.

5/24/18 - windows starting, pouring/forming 17th and 18th floors

Drove by today so couldn’t get a pic but did notice the western wall going up (so far at least) is a blank, concrete wall.

If you look at the rendering, in hindsight it's not surprising

Part of me was still hoping that by some miracle the first design was going to be implemented instead.

SEFTA · #**337** Posted **May 27, 2018, 7:20 PM**

Here's to hoping that, someday, another tower gets built on this side of that wall and hide that.

GtownFriend · #**338** Posted **May 27, 2018, 7:58 PM**

Wondering if it's build north to the property line? which would prohibit windows on that side?

Knight Hospitaller · #**339** Posted **May 27, 2018, 9:14 PM**

Please, Lord, let them put a big dragon mural - anything - on that walll.

Blank wall facing west adjacent to parking lot. No air rights?. I prefer that lot get built and that it butts right up to CET.
