Omg you guys it does not look better grey. They should never have modified the original design, which was pretty good imo.

Grey looks good, now paint the other building a neon blue or red like a Nintendo Switch!

All this is a non issue. The Apparel Center will be relegated to visual background noise once Wolf Point is built to completion. After that, they can paint a giant mural of a horse's ass on there for all I care. :)

Part of the iconic Merchandise Mart (Southwest slanted wall) will be obscured by this bland blue glass tower as well.

I think it'll be far from bland. It'll have nice texture and articulation, besides... the southern face, which is it's most prominent is about 3-acres.

Imagine being some guy (or gal) who moved out of the city 20 years ago and visiting today. And thinking to yourself, where the fuck am I at?

I agree. It's a perfectly fine piece of infrastructure. And if you squint, it actually has some nice visual density.

The Mart has almost 600 horizontal feet of river frontage that will be fully uncovered and visible in perpetuity. I think we'll be fine :tup:

It's a lot better than the tan was!

Really amazing to see how much work goes into these sub levels. Thanks for all the pics guys!

Lot of rain these past two days. I hope they’re braced against rising river levels.

When can we expect to see the construction above the circle drive level? 3-4 weeks I'm guessing?

It's moving pretty fast, so yeah, I'd say sometime in May. If not above at least level with...
