It's amazing how much this tower has changed the look of that part of the Beltline.

If I'm counting correctly, there are just tow more floors to go. It's more slender looking than i expected.

this area will look great when they add a few more of these bad boys. amazing what a few tall condo towers will do. it is making an old neighborhood look busy and successful.

The Tower is really tall and slender from certain angles. Looks great.

Darker - or even clear - spandrel glass would have created a better visual separation of the glass area and the concrete panels, as well as the colored glass panels, and better defined the rectangles that the concrete panels form, which grow in height at the tower goes up. It's an intended design element that would have further expressed the verticality of the tower that gets lost in the execution. It's still a nice looking tower, but that one little detail sacrifices some of what made it unique.

I really find it much less cheesy than the render, very classy.
