Great shots, everybody.

Seconded...Real close though. Looks like all that's left is the 12' or so screenwall up top.

No 12' screenwall, just a 16" high curb for the roofing material to terminate at.

It's a warning not to step outside of the terrace door (those shown in post #4596 likely can now be removed as the railings are in place).

Here's a shot found on-line of the other side of the glass from another building-not Aqua

So.... how many floors left?

EarlyBuyer · #**4610** Posted **Mar 9, 2009, 3:06 AM**

Photolitherland, no more floors to go, just the 16 inch curb mentioned by Manus above. As Aqua will not have chillers (the refrigerated water will be purchased from Thermal Chicago), the roof will be rather clean, as compared to others.

Congratulations on the purchase.

Please post some pics when you have a chance.

do we know if the top of the building is going to be lit up at night? As i remember from the rendering, that 16-foot "wall" on the roof seemed to glow from within...

Aqua Plumber, I don't know why you've closed your account, but you will be missed on these boards. You offered a totally different perspective on the construction of this tower. The images and info you supplied was a great asset and I think I speak for all when I say, THANK YOU!!!

Hopefully you'll be able to rejoin us one day.

EarlyBuyer · #**4615** Posted **Mar 10, 2009, 11:03 PM**

Seconded!

Well put BVic.
