UPTEN | 121.91m | 37s | Strategic Group

Also, this new version is taller and has more units than the previous version.

I never paid attention to the height of this one, but it's going to be very noticeable at 37 storeys.

Nope. Still podium.
See the render.

i fear the podium is actually done, it def looks like the tower is underway based on that last render.

^Based on that newer render posted by Surreal and looking at the set back in the construction photos I think you're correct that the tower is starting.

Why do you "fear" this ?
Did you want a higher podium ?

 

[1875]

i fear it may be just one level, even if its two thats another wasted opportunity. at least its not parking.

At this point, I'm just thrilled this is actually getting built! I'd love to critique the design, but literally anything is better than the crater we had for 10+ years...

What's with all the hate on one or two level podiums? I think this tower actually looks decent in the renderings. I like the white and black podium, has a chic kind of vibe. Materials will be the make or break of this one.

This is from Strategic's website. The podium looks like both offices & retail. It may not be a current rendering.

That is the original render. That is not the current project being built, office has been removed and the podium has been significantly reduced.

Seems update photos of it taken regularly on the Strategic Group website page for the tower. It's actually going pretty quickly

The podium style is sort of similar to the "Guardian" towers. Although in this tower's rendering, the all glass from top to bottom does make it seem much better.

I agree, if they can execute the rendering with the right materials, then this one should be a win. Its not your 9 or 10/10 design but its definitely better than a hole sitting there for another 10 years.
