I would be down for an SSP meetup as well before or after summer.

Someone organize it! I'm kinda down, especially before it gets too hot

Same!

Confirmed that shit stain is being removed:

With all the rain we've had recently I never saw water coming down out of those scuppers so they either fixed the problem or it's the other theory.

That one being that during some sort of fire system testing water was flushed out from places that normally wouldn't be drained to the exterior so there isn't an actual design flaw.

100% sure it’s the “other theory”

That's worse than I thought. Those window washers have some job security.

Seriously. Looks like a bunch of giant birds were perched up there.

Some perspective. They aren't even on a platform.

the Genral · #**3669** Posted **Jan 31, 2024, 8:37 PM**

It appears that the area they are cleaning is going to look better than the rest of the building.

Hahahha I was just thinking the same thing! Gonna reverse the effect now

I'll add to the shit stain removal monitoring:

First pic - this morning

Second pic - this afternoon

Does this thing not make you think of a building from the Empire in Star Wars? Most of the time it refracts ominous shadows and looks so dark.

Does it remind u of the old 5C tower proposal

Not really, but they were designed by the same architect.

Gotta say, it's turning out better than I expected.

The fact that it's our tallest tower until mid-2025 helps.

gillynova · #**3677** Posted **Feb 2, 2024, 4:36 AM**

My friends keep talking about how this build looks MASSIVE from all over the city. I love how wide/huge this take sup on the skyline as well.

Facing from the east side of town it looks like it's a "T" and that's what my girlfriend refers the building as lmao

I wonder how much Windex and Shamwow's are being used for this special operation.

Probably a dump truck full of Scrub Daddy pads.

I'd love to know the total mass of the crud removed.
The building will look so much better once this cleaned up.
