I know who designed that. She did a good job on it!

I'm liking everything about this project. Marquee when driving in to DTK esp coming downhill from Midtown. Let's just get people back in the building now Wink

Hopefully some clearer shots, albeit with the sun in a terrible location.

Wow thank you. Must be the nicest parking garage around! You think they'll use that red/green light tech to show empty spaces?

It seems like this building is getting ready for occupancy soon.
I’ve noticed plants inside on the ground level, mounting for the Google sign on the mechanical portion of the building (top right), and now what looks to be outdoor furniture on the rooftop terrace:

Oh wow, I assumed they had already occupied this building weeks or months ago.

Does anyone know what, if any, # of days per week Google mandates employees to office?

Just bumping this up...

Someone said plants appearing in the windows and stuff implied occupancy imminent? Occupancy by Google etc staff I mean...

And how many employees on a given day?

Had family visiting, and was asked about downtown as a whole. I of course talked about this Google expansion then asked how it turned out.

Looks fantastic and I think quadrupled (or more?) Google's footprint in DTK. But I am still unsure if people are recalled to office for any meaningful amount of time per week here?

Yes, Google has done a RTO and all their employees are expected to be in the office at least 3 days/week.

I'm sure it'll be a pretty busy office. The whole work from home meme is mostly a thing of the past now.

So no one/groups are fighting tooth and nail anymore to stay WFH?

I'm WFH, and my employer seems to have adapted well to it. Full disclosure - they couldn't bring me back if they wanted, my union guaranteed everyone has a WFH option if desired when we got our latest agreement in 2023.
