I really love all the Tower Pics, however, any recent pics of the street level and creek side? Very few have made there way onto this thread. Are they not available?

a couple of the CCTV cams aim towards the bottom, but they appear to be offline.

The Travis tower is looking good.

I wish they didn't do the double height glazing detail on the residential portion of hte tower, it makes the building look smaller than it is.

I agree. Same for the Hyatt.

Yeah I third that. My mind can't wrap the fact that this is taller than Library in LA or Shard in London because of the double height glazing.

I do not mind the double floor glazing so much. It does seem a bit odd to have it on top of single floor glazing though. To me, that is what really gives the illusion of a shorter tower. They did it reverse of what would have made the tower look taller vs shorter for some reason.

I'm actually growing to like the design and glazing patterns more as it moves up the tower. It's different than a lot of other things. The height of the tower stands out in comparison to other obviously tall towers in their own right, so that part doesn't bother me as much. It's much better than glass only.
