I really hope they don't use the same glass as what the John Ross and 3720 used.

interesting that he specifically addresses the green-capped fall protection poles. (wonder if he's reading this forum?)

recently they mounted a concrete pouring crane onto a huge white steel column centered at the core, for higher up pours. The sidecar roof pour & tower 7th floor pour might be as soon as Monday or Tuesday.

Mirabella is our future home, so we are in frequent contact with people there. I asked them about the green caps, although I did not doubt MMeade, SoWat and PDXhome's input. We've drawn this thread to Mirabella's attention, but I don't know if they follow it. We appreciate the contrast of their formal information vs the realism of community observations.

8th floor prep work, as the tower begins its ascent off its base

loads of HVAC work on lower tower floors, and some exterior framing underway now too.
The gaps between the tower section and sidecar section on the left were filled on the 3rd floor only, you can just see a little plastic wrap. This is the only one they've filled so far, perhaps as a test?

Mirabella April 29 construction update:

http://www.mirabellaretirement.org/p...009/042909.htm

the window glass is pretty clear, and separate glass wall sections have a nice pale bluish color, just visible in the 4th photo of their update. The window frames/trim is a pale gray-beige color.

today (5/7) they poured the tower's 8th floor.
