TheSirDingle Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 2-3 (looks like the garage was either 8 or 9 floors) more floors until this thing gets to the residential section. I would say we have 3 weeks to a month until this part is finished. Hopefully after the garage section is finished it's going to speed up dramatically, especially considering how slender the residential section is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I prefer the current design. Its a more mature version than the previous. I like this idea of a beautiful glass object sitting on the edge of a very pristine "table" of stone. Not all updated designs are "value engineered" from my own experience. The glass on the bottom is the same glass on the tower portion. If VE was what they were preoccupied with then they would have done this throughout the entire building. Probably the most expensive part of this building is the structure. The "twist" and profile they have set up is actually going to be nice to see how they pull off including the illusion they are doing with the glass coming to an edge at the middle of the tower portion. Again if VE was so important then this would have been one of the first things to go. The crown also doesn't look like a VE either, but more of a simplification of the tower form itself. Honestly the top crown in the original has no relation to what is going on in the tower at all. The new design the crown looks more of blend of what is happening throughout. Also we have had the "updated" render for a couple years now? There hasn't been any changes since then that I'm aware of. Anyway, just an an opinion from an industry professional. I could be wrong. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I’m fine with the new crown, I just feel like the glass podium looks more alive from the street level than the stone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheSirDingle Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2020 Ngl the stone fits better from a pedestrian and curvature standpoint, looks way more inviting than the glass bottom version. There's nothing valued engineered about this project, just different design choices. The difference in between the glass and stone is how well it transitions from the high rise to the base, which the stone does a million times better. Honestly the stone is going to having a more lasting effect than the glass. In about 20 years the glass base will look dated but the stone will be timeless. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The stone base seems more respectful of the architecture/historical aspect of market square, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 A near solid 10 stories of stone is inviting. Give me a break. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The stone looks stodgy. Wonder why they did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
