The developer had to put up the website while Google Maps still doesn't know the location of Wolf Point Plaza. So they invented an address that Google could properly geocode and give directions to.

I've added Wolf Point Plaza to Open Street Map, and to all the tourist and transit maps I make. Here.com and Google Maps will eventually get the word, but it may take a couple of years because no street signs saying that are up yet.

I just took a look and W Wolf Point Plaza now shows up on Google Maps when you search (and it is on the map view), although when you switch to street view it reverts to W Mart Center Dr.

I'm glad for a moment, you could see all 3 cranes on the river in action. From the River Point construction cam you could see 5.

I think I may just agree here. (to the dissenters, just realize we're talking about design here - purely.........some folks just get overly caught up in childish height fetish stuff).

The overall proportions of this one are just......perfect. It has this certain delicateness about it that is just a tremendous testament to the profound talent of Tom Kerwin and his team of skilled designers. The façade looks spot-on as well here.......

I just want to put it out there that i'm having a heartfelt emotional reaction to this crane coming down. The result is superb because they managed make a pretty wide and short box soar. That hardly happens anywhere on the planet.

so I heard yesterday that the hold up with the balconies is that the glass is coming from China and it just hasn't shown up yet...

funny how just because people disagree with ur opinion you automatically have a need to justify why your opinion is "better"...get it in your head...its an opinion...

in anycase, height and bulk absolutely plays a significant part of a design of a building...

Pretty crazy the south tower will be twice the height of this. It already looks tall for the area, though that may change when river point passes it by over 200 ft.

You're right - folks shouldn't offer any support, rationale, illumination, etc behind their arguments....we should all just spout out 'I think this', 'I think that'......
