Can't wait until they light this up!

ThyPiGuy · #**1803** Posted **Nov 2, 2021, 11:37 PM**

And.... Done!

Those glass panels are going to catch a lot of wind from the east. Hopefully thick and secured well.

Great job everybody. Well done. What’s breaking ground next?

Don't fear. They're a new type of "glass." It's known as transparent aluminum. It can also be used to create a tank for humpbacks!

Highly illogical.

Does anyone know if we're getting any signage on this building?

Im sure we'll get a G.

Maybe the shape of the tower will create some effect sort of like the Burj Kalifa, that keeps the wind from causing any sort of damage like that. I dunno. Just a guess.

For now. It will get harder as it ages.

If they insist on putting a logo on this building, it better not be on the curved side.
