I was being a little facetious, but the logo clearly references the old tower's form pretty literally. I am sure the marketing team has some rationale as to why it still works though. (ie the literal setback count like you mentioned or perhaps the scalloped edges along the river)

It's hardly a travesty, but went from being a nice if simple mark to kind of arbitrary.

I prefer the current version. It's less busy and doesn't detract from the showstopper: the undulating curtain on the sides.

It's just a rendering.

That and the end shown is the north retail. The lobby is positioned more to the east and south of the site.

looks like less glass on the north side on the new one but looks like maybe more windows in the middle section at the bottom now.

I'm just gonna go ahead and assume this site is actually a super top secret government drilling operation for how much they've been drilling compared to other sites at this point haha

Several of these have been assembled - looks like the hole would allow the tremie pipe through - not sure where or why they would sit in the pier.

Any idea how long it takes from start to finish on one of these caissons roughly? I know they are different depths/widths but it seems as though the entire site is caissons. It's hard to believe there is any room left for additional ones.

PittsburghPA · #**894** Posted **Jul 25, 2018, 12:31 AM**

Took a walk down to the site today after work. They were still very busy pouring concrete and drilling caissons well after 5pm. Every piece of machinery was running. It seems as though all of the work was focused on the south side of the site.

Some bell work

What is considered "below grade" here? Is street level upper wacker, or is the parking all below lower wacker?

From what i've gathered with other projects on similar lots, below grade is anything below street level(upper wacker). So basically anything below the Lobby

I know I'm just being an impatient ass but can I get a floor mat already? I dont know why this one seems like it's dragging, maybe because WPE is moving so fast? Idk.

WPE is moving fast? Its been a hole in the ground for a year, lol. I think this project's foundations are moving along just as fast as WPE's was, if you discount the complex support walls to keep the river back that had to be built and worked around.

Relax and enjoy the process. It'll be topped out before you know it
