I was looking for something to complain about today too. the building is significantly less interesting after loosing just a bit of steepness in the pitch. The amount of the crown slope you can see seems different when viewed at different angles. Edited May 2, 2016 by JJxvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drecey Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Excuse my inner fan boy, but this building is going to look AMAZING! I don't mean to be dramatic, but I got chills when I was driving down 610 looking at it! This will definitely stand out! I'm loving how that side of 610 is getting built out! Interested to see what's going to go on tha empty grassy lot not too far from hotel Derek off the freeway. fyi, that sun's reflection on this building will be magical! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right (granted both depictions are from the same angle), but comparing the original rendering to the new rendering, the pitch of the angle is about 33% shallower (2 floors vs 3). It seems to still be the same height though, as the crown extends above the top by 2 rows/floors instead of the original one.

swtsig Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 this building really needs to be 5-10 stories taller... great looking building but definitely a little squatty given its girth. that's what she said. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Why is the "crown" taking so long to do? It seemed that they were just building floors and glassing them in at a pretty good pace but then just got to the top and then kind of stopped making visual progress. Did they run out of money?

thatguysly Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It looks like they are still welding on contact points for the glass. They were making good progress until the rain. They have added one row of glass in the last couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they run out of money? ^^^ @IronTiger there is probably going to be special LED lighting measures put in place for this final crown design.. as it has to stand apart upon the 610 freeway. it took BHP biliton forever to complete theirs and they are still not really there yet. patience is indeed a virtue with these projects.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The tower looks great. I realize they took the extra effort to clad the garage in matching glass, but it still almost seems to detract from the tower. I kind of wish it didn't have such sharp angles (or possibly had a slope on the curtain wall?). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
