I especially like the small tower footprint which must be one of the smallest tower footprints in the city and at 28 stories it will be pretty striking. I think the contractor is doing about one floor a week.
The vertical inset cuts aren't visible yet and probably won't be until the curtain wall goes in. Those insets will help the tower massing.
I noticed that the 4th level roof deck steel structure has started for the roof garden units.
The first lift of the tower crane is happening today.
I think there is another crane lift in a few months. I'm looking forward to seeing the full height of the crane to get a sense of what 28 stories feels like in this neighborhood.
The crane lift was only a partial lift due to Sunday's strong winds. I think the crane will be raised again in another month- the current crane is around 17 stories tall.
I really hope the Pearl keeps adding high rise density. I know there has been some push back once a building sells condos based on views, but Portland is a dynamic city. The Pearl is an especially dynamic area within the city. I hope it continues to exemplify dense urban living.

I wouldn't mind seeing a cluster of towers in North Pearl.
