what's planned for that lot closest to the river?

:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

As of last night they had most of the Harbor Drive side on that completed with the window wall facade system. . . would have taken a photo but it was already dark out. . . will swing by later today. . .

. . .

Why are they glassing in the sides facing the I site? Isn't the last tall building being built there going to connect at the same level or is there a gap between them and that glassed in area with be units or amenities? I have looked around and i can't find a pic of how the base of the tall site I building interacts with the others.

I believe that is currently used as a showroom for cirrus and cascade...one site I starts construction im assuming it will be removed.

The sales center is down on Water st next to the Shoreham

When this came up before someone said they were told it would be used as temporary construction offices. There is a trailer or two out on Site I, so not sure if that is still the case.

Either way, the glass is still a curious choice. It is most certainly temporary, and definitely more costly than just blocking up the openings. Maybe it was just faster? Maybe they are anticipating it will be a while before I starts and wanted a more finished solution for an area residents will use?

These are from Thursday evening. . .

^^Oh shit, I love colored panes!! Damn, I didn't know that was part of the design - love that there will be some variation on the exterior glass

The glass looks slick

Thats some high-quality shit right there

Finally got Optima 3. Lol. More of this please.

that cladding looks very interesting.

dope

I love it, if the supertall on the edge of the site (Parcel I) ever gets built I assume the cladding would be the exact same?

I'd love to see ~300 meters of that :yes:

Well if you look at the renderings (which can obviously change), the facade of the Parcel I tower looks somewhat similar... although the vertical metal bands appear more narrow and silver-ish in color. :shrug:

Lovely renderings, however must call into question given that vista is presented without the blow through floor:rolleyes:
