It only takes me a few minutes to walk there; and I always go for a walk first thing in the morning on weekends anyway.

Work on the crown under way:

A few more.

The first "story" of the crown done:

My final stop of today was Millenium, here are some pictures I took of it:

This one came out nice, reminds me of the original rendering:

I guess this would be the second "story" of the crown:

rajaxsonbayboi · #**966** Posted **Jun 8, 2008, 6:44 PM**

does anyone have any pictures of how it looks in the rest of the skyline?

JAC6 · #**967** Posted **Jun 10, 2008, 5:53 AM**

Another perspective on the progress on the crown. This is from today.

Well, this guy is ignoring the no smoking sign; I bet the guy on the right has got food...

^Yes that is a balcony. Someone purchased the entire top floor for one penthouse, so he got two balconies, one on each corner of the building. These are the only balconies in the entire complex.

Closing in:

They'll have this glass finished off in no time. I do wonder how they will both get the crane down and also finish off the roof in its area. Some sort of giant mobile crane?

peanut gallery · #**973** Posted **Jun 18, 2008, 1:29 AM**

I've been wondering about that too. I wonder if they can use a crane that breaks down small enough for its components to fit in the external lifts.

Great looking building

Xeelee · #**975** Posted **Jun 18, 2008, 1:41 PM**

Not a bad looking tower.

Yeah, a Tokina 11-16 f2.8 was used for that shot.

Complex01 · #**978** Posted **Jun 19, 2008, 4:28 PM**

Some nice updates. Looking good...

Few people realize that the primary reason behind building the tower in this particular location was the proximity of this quality eating establishment.
