On a very hot and schweaty Sunday. 16 floors so far, so over halfway. With 717 Ninth in the background.



And with it's other neighbor from 9th Street.

It's about time that the facade started showing up you think?

It was mentioned here or in another thread that facade would start arriving on the site in July, so yeah, right around the corner.

I would imagine that the 'broken' part of the tower should start to show up right around that time too. I'm looking forward to the facade. You don't see too many gray and orange towers. Least I hope it's gray and orange.

Note the steel columns up for the mid-rise.

By my count, the "broken part" starts on floor 16. And from the picture above, they are starting on floor 16. So we should see the change now.

It's a few months old, but this is from the contractors website:

http://www.webcor.com/current.html?proj_id=244

The building is now called a 30-story tower as the owner has eliminated the 13th and 14th floor for superstitious buyers. The East side of the site is currently at the grade level and once it is two levels above the ground, the owner will start his 5-story type V structure.

The curtain wall is scheduled to be on the job site in July. The drywall contractor has already started layout and the CMU contractor will be on the job next week. Webcor carpentry will most likely do the millwork and cabinet installation (cabinets coming from Alno in Germany). Webcor is still negotiating this work.

As for the 2nd tower, the foundation plan has been submitted to the city. A proposal for grading and shoring has been submitted, but do not have authorization from the owner to proceed as yet.

I am really liking that facade with that trim detail between the windows.

didn't the renderings show a dark brown facade? I think brown would have worked better with this building. For some reason I'm thinking of the "AT&T" building in South Park, before the remodel.

The new "gateway" to downtown as you enter on 9th Street.





Low-rise on Flower



This is the best execution of the ad space on the Figueroa Hotel that I've ever seen. I laugh every time I see it. Concerto on the right, with 717 Ninth behind.
