Is this still under review?

Quick snapshot at a red light (and one while not). Apologies for the image quality on this. Thought it was cool seeing the units sitting on the street.

Coming along nicely. Starting the 6th floor now. About a floor per week at this rate.

Along 1st St, yes.

That’s pretty normal for these types of places. A ton of space is required to store collections, and produce exhibits. It’s just a big theatre, with a big backstage area. Those education and production spaces will host many students and lectures, and the remaining living room/theatre/lobby and...

You might also have to factor in appeals timelines. They are asking for a reduction to building separation distance and I can see Vetro and Sasso east facing owners being somewhat successful in pushing back on that. It appears as though the proposed facades are a zero setback which is fine, but...
