It's turning out better than I expected, but really only looks good from about a kilometer away lol. The crown will make or break this one, the massing is cool, but if its clad in ugly spandrel, then NFG.

- Start date

I don't even mind the cladding close up. I was extremely pessimistic given Cidex's track record like most, but I'm pleased with how it looks. Completely agree with the crown comment though - the solid spandrel crowns on Nuera burn me everytime I see them..terrible, terrible shit.

Hi,
There are Currently only Two Bldgs on the way up. If i understand it right there will B a 3rd Tower to get built at a later date.
When? Any ones guess really. I do feel once all 3 Towers get Built & Completed it will add to a better realization of the West
Downtown and more Investment Dollars going into that Areas - the Old Stamped Site plus the Metro Ford Site. that are On
the Books. What will B Interesting to see is what happens to All that Strip of Land on the South Side of 9th Ave between
5th St and Up to 10th St.I have heard stories about Bldgs etc on the Books but nothing ever Built. if anything happens this
would B most Interesting to watch.

There was talk in one of the other threads that Cidex might start their 10th ave project before the third tower....something I'm totally fine with.

Cidex also have a wood frame project (3 buildings - 233 units) under construction in Nolan Hill. Someone has deep pockets to be funding all this construction.

Yep, all of Cidex's developments are backed by pension funding.

On the front page of the this thread, it describes the height of the towers at 150 m, 125 and 100. But I found out from Norr architecture, on Twitter, that the second tower is the same height as the first one!

Those crowns better turn out good or else we will have two pieces of shit standing out like sore thumbs...

I really hate that they might end up being identical twins... frig. That's about as bad a scenario as could be feared... at least when they were all 25 meters apart in height it creates differentiation and the shorter two get lost in the sea of towers while only tower one would remain prominent indefinitely. Bleh.

on the bright side, less discovery pointe
I don't the look of the towers (assuming the crown turns out okay), but to be honest, I'd prefer towers of different heights. Too bad tower 2 wasn't taller.
