Add a lowercase l to the end of your imgur url and it'll size it about right for the forum.

Thanks! I actually switched my Imgur link to "classic" view and now I'm able to copy a link that makes the photos smaller

Can’t wait to see how this looks once they start really making progress on the residential portion.

The cladding is pretty much keeping up with the vertical construction.

It actually has been depicted in the renders. I don't think I've ever noticed it before as well.

ahealy · #**2968** Posted **Oct 27, 2024, 3:14 PM**

Yeah, I noticed in those last renders as well. Could be far far worse I suppose.

I really wish the mid amenity floors were three levels over the two. It looks squat and weird as-is

What are those two (or more) grayed areas all about any ways? Why the different cladding on the top floor of the section? What is the purpose?

Ah I took a look at different renderings, they made a change at some point.

The top floor of the "office section" is mechanical space. The different cladding is just ventilation. It looks like glass in these photos but it's probably just some sort of screen material for the equipment inside.

I was thinking that, however, it is very discrete for ventilation. On most towers, it is just very glaring. If it is ventilation it is well done!

So far this is a very impressive build. Keep it going.

At least they fit it into the pattern rather than breaking it up.

welcome.

how do you like living in the Burgh? It's one of my favorite cities, especially downtown.

Same! great neighborhoods near downtown as well!

davidtexan · #**2980** Posted **Nov 2, 2024, 8:28 PM**

Since it was a hot topic, I snapped a few photos taking a closer look at the ventilation on the side of the parking garage, and sandwiched between the garage and office level facing Cesar Chavez St.
