Looks like another floor is done

Would it be reasonable for this one to be topped out in the late fall, or is that a tad optimistic?

At this rate, it'll be topped out mid summer.
Second floor took roughly 2 weeks to take form.

The final (exterior design) product will be passable, better than 121 West but still very generic. However the units may be quite affordable, also like 121 West.
Yep, buildings that aren't super sexy are completely forgivable if they are intentionally affordable. A lot of people talked shit about 121 West, but it filled up way faster than basically any other new rental building on this forum.
Cheap units in a neighborhood helps brings up density to levels where it can support the retail in the sexy McLarens and such.

And again I'm loving the speed this is going up. I am very willing to accept a few buildings in this city that are decent but get built way faster than some other building that only is slightly better but takes a whole lot longer to build.

Spicy take: this building isn't ever gonna be stunningly beautiful, but it would be a lovely candidate for a brighter paint scheme and/or murals. I think a lot of interest and character could come from painting buildings like this in bright colours, bold patterns, heck, make it look like a dazzle ship if someone feels like it. not everything has to be a Pritzker contender, and there's valid reasons for that, as noted above. let's have some fun with the more mediocre stuff while we have it, yeah?

The empty lot beside it could be perfect for a basketball court. Maybe have a nice bright and colourful ground mural, fence it off from 104 Ave. Add some benches and you’ll have students and residents using it all throughout the day.

You know you’d think it costs a testicle or two to get some of the simple shit done in this city with the way they’ve been avoided.
