I'm concerned about that too, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed the lack of new proposals in the last month or so since Trump has ramped up his tariff rhetoric. I would imagine developers are taking a "wait and see" attitude with regard to both the overall economy and material costs, and banks might be more conservative with financing new development until they get a better sense of how this will all play out.

I hope common sense ultimately prevails, but right now I'm not optimistic with the state of things in Washington.

Businesses in general are unfortunately having to take more of a wait and see approach.

Hopefully the blowback from the general public, businesses, and the stock market is enough to make Washington back off if they are stupid enough to pull the trigger tomorrow.

Cladding going up on East side:

Working on the front now. They were cutting the piece when I walked by. I would have thought it would all be ready to install.

Is it just me or does that cladding looks super cheap??

This will sound like a silly question, but what do they do for cladding on the zero lot line and how is it done? Is it just plain concrete?

From what I've seen in the past, it's plain concrete or cinder block.

The construction of the wall has to be non-combustible and rated, so concrete or block is typical. If it's going to be exposed for a while, then a non-combustible cladding can be used.

And how does this work for interior layout? When one wall has no windows, I guess it's the hallway connecting the rooms? But then the rooms are as long as the width of the building?

They used insulated metal panel installed horizontally on this.

You just don't put anything on that wall that needs a window, good location for mechanical or elevators or something.

Seems like there’s been a lot of city center hotel construction over the past 5-10 yrs.
