They need to throw some shade sails up there too. Otherwise, it's just too damn hot to bake in the sun.

I feel like all of the plantings are going to be dead in a matter of days.

I regularly drive by CET. Looking hideous so far.

6/21/18 - tower roof slab just about finished, windows on 6-11

Can we start a GoFundMe to get some Chinese lettering going down the sides -- that are huge and illuminated.
I know the original (more expensive) version of this tower had letters going down the sides (but it also did not have blank walls either - ugh).

I think that west wall was always a party wall, so even the fancy version was going to have a giant windowless wall there. Maybe someday the parking lot on the west side will actually be developed...

Amazing angle, great shots. Where are you taking these from?

It has to either be a boat or somewhere on Petty's Island.

One of the best angles that exists. Great combination of depth, variety, and height. Those waterfront towers do wonders for the depth perception.

Got ya thanks. It's kind of like the reverse angle of the South Street Bridge.

Welp. On the scale of 1-10, this one is shaping up to be "better than a surface lot."

Anyone know if they are working on the bump out on the base of the building where the crane is located? I think that part of the building will help out the rest of the design. Thus far, the cladding isn't cutting it, but maybe will look slightly better once it is all up.
