Its been mentioned many times but the tower itself isn't bad at all, actually quite nice but that podium ...

Oh, that’s mechanical venting and not glazing. Looks like windows from a distance and I didn’t even notice when I took pics from street level last month.

Worried now that we’re back to the glass/spandrel on the way up to the top.

Awesome video Surrealplaces.

Managed to find a webcam of 11th street, it gives a pretty good view of the towers on the left hand side.

If the whole crown is louver, this is going to look really bad lol.

Maybe marginally better than the random shapes and coloured lights on the new rentals on 10th.

I looked at the renderings on the first page again and in fact they clearly show two levels of mechanical venting below the glass crown. So this actually shouldn't come as a surprise and doesn't necessarily indicate that the entire crown will be mechanical venting.

It does show the vents on the newer renders. I assume they'll just continue the pattern above. The renders don't show any spandrel on the tower at all though, so who knows if the crown will end up being all spandrel or not.

Forgot to post this one...

A closer look at the crown...

Back to the regular glazing and spandrel above the mech venting.
