Ah ok. Gotcha ;-)

I think though OCS is not by any means an on the cheap project, they did make design sacrifices to accommodate above ground services and the (now practically mandatory) expansive amenities deck.

Just walked by the site. Cladding is going up on the Northwest side of the base. There's also some updated renderings on the fencing that I haven't seen before. If I wasn't in a hurry I would have taken some pix. I might walk back tomorrow.

^^Damn those new renderings look good!

Donnie77 · #**2267** Posted **Jul 20, 2020, 7:30 AM**

so am i seeing this correctly as the renders show balconies only on the west side witch im more than perfectly fine with?

Skyguy_7 · #**2268** Posted **Jul 20, 2020, 1:19 PM**

^ Looks like that's the case.

Great updates, rgarri. It appears they've carried the setback closer to the crown which I've been begging for since the tower's inception!

EDIT
..or did they shorten the crown by several floors?

Zapatan · #**2269** Posted **Jul 20, 2020, 3:03 PM**

Nice (new?) renderings, is it just me or does it look a bit taller?

RedCorsair87 · #**2270** Posted **Jul 20, 2020, 4:24 PM**

I still don't care for the base-- too busy.

DAMN, that tower looks good (from both angles)!

CrazyCres · #**2271** Posted **Jul 20, 2020, 5:11 PM**

Hope they release those renders, they look great

I thought maybe so, too, but nah.

Possibly trying to get as much done as possible before the next (potential) shutdown.
