Cool, thanks!

I guess the webcam camera angle made the bridge roof look lower than it was?

I'm impressed by the cladding on this guy! These are some thick buildings, certainly interesting development!

I hadn't noticed the pixilation on the back of the theatre before.

Webcam shot showing the overhead walkway:


http://webcampub.multivista.com/index.cf...B1-AE94-402F-A587-72E8A32A2B5B&width=800

Old pic from before the floor was hung below the roof.
Interesting to note that it appears the yellow panels were placed,
then cut to size in situ and fitted around the steel supports (as seen in the current pic, above).

That's awesome, roughly equal in height to Stratos, with another 13 floors to go.

This is exciting !

Totally agreed!

Judging from the angle in mc's photograph, looks like 13 more floors plus the crown will be about the same height as Altus + spire.

.. and the width of the Brentwood Towers will have a lot more prominence than Altus.

I think it's at 47 actual floors so maybe only 9 more to go to 56

Thanks !
Ten years ago Trespa made this kind of stuff and it was used on a casino I had worked on in Cherokee in North Carolina. Its a picture of wood veneer superimposed on a phenolic core. The manufacturer sells this cut to size and you mount it on a metal hanging system (Similar to alucabond) . Now so many companies make a product like this ....Alucobond (as well) Armstrong, Forms + Surfaces etc....

Thanks for the correction

Will Tower 1 be taller than Altus when completed?

Thanks Moosejaw, for the information!

I looked up the companies you mentioned. They called this Aluminum Composite Material.
Apparently, they can add colors and patterns to it at fabrication to make the finished product looks like other building materials. In this case, it looks like wood.
