Some glass is going in, I'm still waiting to see what the cladding will look like. The seem to be deviating from the latest render, there is not nearly as wide of a glass column on the Southwest corner. I just hope they don't cheap out on the finishes.

This one is awesome. I hope the other big Rainey projects get started soon to create that sea of cranes effect going on at Green Water/Seaholm.

You could see the one for the Hotel Indigo, too, but a truck got in the way on the next shot and ruined it. So maybe next time.

I think this one is just about topped out. Here's a few shots from last weekend.

That's just installation, trust me it's not going to be green.

Are there any plans for amenities on the large flat roof of the podium? I would have thought that's where the pool would be, but it looks like that's going to be on the top roof.

Would be an awesome place for a green roof. It would add so much to look the building if that podium roof could be full of trees, since they aren't putting the pool there.

Thanks Hill Country, but I gotta say why is every swimming pool seem to be only 3ft? The Austonian, Four Seasons, 360, JW Marriott, Seven, and now The Westin has shallow pools?

I would guess it lessens the chance for drownings, i.e. lawsuits.
