It is getting demolished - permits are in right now.

Easily Chris. The outcome shows. If it looks this good in a small area, it willl look good expanded. I bet my life on it. Augustana has either the same or similiar treatment and far superior looking than any of Langham's.

@Avenuer Are there replacement plans in the works or are we just going to have another gaping hole in our urban fabric for the long haul?

 

[Daveography]

@Clearshades Augustana is aluminum paneling, not EIFS.

And the fact that Augustana is aluminum makes it acceptable; if it was EIFS it would be a hard no for me.

I just don't think EIFS looks good on high-rise in general, but I am very optimistic with Falcon and it's wrap-around balconies.

To my understanding and in accordance with the renders, aluminum is in certain elements of the tower, and the rest are panels. I have not seen this tower in person, but, judging by what I see from photos, everything is as illustrated.

Mr. Derks all moved in:

Mr. Derk had a break-in overnight Saturday to Sunday where the thieves made off with $100,000 worth of merchandise. Apparently they came through the wall from an adjacent vacant unit. Quite a heist.

 

[Platinum107]

Holy shit... I feel so bad for them, right after they moved in to boot

 

[archited]

Hope they had insurance.

Sounds like they knew where the motion detectors were along with the higher priced items...

hmmm
