Is some of the amenity space up top? Interesting that the mechanical penthouse is at least partly glazed.

No idea. I also noticed some of the lower units have their kitchens installed.

I also agree. It turned out much better than anticipated, and is very easy on the eyes.

Every time I plan to walk over and take a look at this it rains, but I'll get there. From the great photographs I really like the brick base and restored Planning Mill building, the glass tower above is OK, average glass, not altogether unique but not bad - frankly, I find myself more concerned and drawn to the Scientology building.
Core does good building. The guys at UrbanCapital know what they're doing too. Without shouting look at me, Nicholas is a handsome presence.

True. I live in a Core-designed building.

I wish those grey spandrel panels had some texture to them--or were even just plain unpainted precast panels
Or maybe red brick or corten to complement the podium?

They've matched the gray spandrel well with the windows here; the degree of reflectivity helps the spandrels blend in and enhance rather than flatten and detract.

I see this project everyday, and I've always thought it looked quite good. Not iconic by any standard, but it blends in well and doesn't hurt to look at. Overall a solid B+ when you factor in the well handled podium!

I wonder if the city and the architects realized how close the door overhang would be from the streetlight. I saw it yesterday and it's can't be more than 6 inches or so.
