I'll take that bet... Easy 10 bucks. They VE'd a lot but no way they VE what's already been VE'd.

I don't think the area around the pillars had a design set when those first renders came out. There were two designs shown in the first DP set after all

Fingers crossed on a material switch for the main cladding.

It will and hopefully it’ll show people where our priorities are but that’s doubtful

Pretty amazing how quickly this has gone up.... now if only the final product resembled the initial renderings....

The cladding does look better in person, still not the shiny penny I was hoping for but still not bad.

Some photos from today. This thing really is a beast. Still disappointed with the cladding and the big blank wall approaching the LRT station though.

Yeah the fireplace was already mentioned here. Hopefully the interior looks as nice as the renders.
