The first three floors have windows in, and they've started framing the seventh.

Seventh floor (first with concrete balcony edges) is nearly complete, and they've started on the eighth.

This is quite a long building. Or maybe it only looks that way since it's not super tall.

Yeah it's quite long...at least by North American standards. Elsewhere around the world that would be a common sight. Frankly I wish most city blocks in this region had large midrise buildings like they do over in Europe...

It's long. It goes around the block, and it seems like it would be quite a walk from one end to the other. Perhaps one explanation why this is taking so long to build.
