strickn Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thinking about this some more, not many skyscrapers have 25' window walls without anything tying them back to a slab in the middle.

So far, its bet appears to be paying off: Just 20 units are left for sale despite the headwinds of a slower real estate market. Residents are expected to start moving in this fall." 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosFeliz Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 That penthouse is really cool but practically speaking, you're gonna need a lot of drapes and thousands a month to keep the place under 80 degrees in the summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure the building is going to be well insulated. I don't think it's they used regular glass windows for the building. Think of the buildings in UAE, Qatar, Saudi, etc, where temps can reach 120 degrees, these buildings aren't made with average glass.

We live in a south/west facing high rise, with floor to ceiling windows. It's not bad at all. Proper glass makes a huge difference. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

004n063 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Are they planning on keeping that giant surface parking lot forever?

I was told that eventually an acre of that parking lot be converted into a green space/park that sits between the current pavilion and the future mixed-use that will be built in the back where the sales center is currently. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEES?! Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Interesting! Green space is always a nice addition! :) Hopefully they can move on to Phase II. The HAIF Penthouse notwithstanding, I wonder how sales are going here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen vehicles go in and out, but they still had some cones semi-blocking the entrance, so I don't know if it's really officially open or not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMU1213 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I spoke with someone on their design team a few weeks ago that said they are working on Phase 2's design right now. Who knows what that really means from a start date, but I was somewhat surprised considering where the real estate market is right now... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good time to do this type of work that doesn't cost a lot of money while you wait for the construction capital markets to get better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
