^ An extra 75-100 feet would have worked wonders for the tower's proportions and visual appeal, no doubt.

What?

It was a joke for when the crown just said "SALE," as if the building itself was for sale.

FYI Almost all the letters are up now. Weird space between the first 'a' and 'l' though. I don't get it.

Also a couple of the lower floors appear to be somewhat built out already. I wouldn't be surprised if some tenants start moving in Q1 of 2023.

Pretty sure those are mock-ups but could be wrong.

Other than K&E and Salesforce, only two floors are available (https://www.333wolfpoint.com/wp-cont...2022-01-27.pdf). So unless Salesforce is moving in stages, nobody is going any time soon. Salesforce only just started getting a lot of the buildout permits in October.

Here's a permit for mockups (from 8/1/22)
Self-cert: interior build out of 9 temporary offices and 3 workstations on level 32 for non-habitable office mock ups. the sole purpose of mocking up the proposed office and workstation layouts for tenant review/ reference only. the offices and workstations shall not be occupied and are not intended to remain for final occupancy. hvac shall be inactive along with the diffusers which shall be for visual representation only. there shall be no plumbing or structural work. the final tenant office layout shall be submitted under a separate permit package. (1a construction)
Permit #100977642

To be fair, I see the floors that are referred to. Looks like 7 and 8. Maybe amenity floors for salesforce? They have permits that the other floors don't, for wiring, A/V, and security, among other things.

The kerning looks off to my eye too. Perfect cherry on top for such a milquetoast design.

Yep. I concur, the kerning is a tad askew. Human error. I wonder if they'll pay to fix it because it is very embarrassing.

It's even worse in person.

I just learned what "kerning" meant after seeing Twitter Blue's 80's fever dream design. Glad I get to use the word again.

My theory is that they can't mount the letters to the white bits, so they couldn't get the 'l' over as far left as they should have.

Nice try. The "a" could have easily been moved over to the right, etc. They effed up.

Sit in the stink, Salesforce. lol

Maybe, but then they should have shifted the 's' and 'a' accordingly? I'm not holding my breathe that this ever gets fixed.

I think this is more or less on the right track. Though it's not about the "white bits", but the mounting must happen between the panels. the big letters need to be mounted on 2 sides and the l has to go directly between the panels to be mounted.

Yes, I wasn't attempting to offer an excuse. Just exploring the possible etiology of the mistake. :rolleyes:

I think that it’s just an optical illusion due to the alternating light and dark vertical stripes.

Can we please move on from the dumb letter spacing discussion?

Different question. Anyone know if the white lines on both sides will be illuminated at night? Seems like a good space to have some crown lighting.
