If it was one small corner, it might make sense to do it all at once, but the area they are leaving out is significant. Just as easy to do it as a separate project later on.

Does anyone know what the exterior materials are going be? From the rendering I can't tel if it's stucco panels, spandrel, or metallic panels.

To me it looks like matte EIFS panels, but it might be stucco, which would be brutal. Wish it could just be brick. Fat chance in this city.

The DP should have that info.
I'm going to guess it'll be stucco panels, very similar to the ones on Mark

From the DP (Page262): The towers are constructed from a combination of silver and pewter metal panels, with clear and grey vision glass and medium grey spandrel glass. Mechanical louvres are medium grey.
The podium is constructed from a combination of light and medium grey brick, brown canopy slats with clear and grey vision glass and medium grey spandrel glass.

Silver and pewter panels, could look pretty good. One thing I like about metallic panels is they way they reflect light from the sky, giving different looks to the building depending on the sky.

Metal panels are 10x better than stucco IMO

Comes down to quality of the materials and the installation. Metal can go bad quickly. It's worse than stucco when it does, IMO.

There's been no mention of which store, only that they had designed the podium to be able to handle a grocer if needed. If a grocery store doesn't go in, Sunterra will benefit big time.
