Thanks for posting those renders. You're right, this is definitely a great, under the radar project

They had a yellow mobile (I think?) crane up on Friday. It'll be interesting seeing this project when it's finished because there has never been anything tall on this stretch of Weber before, with the exception of The Radisson down the street.
Edit: Went to Zehrs today and saw them putting it up. Looks like they've got most of it done, there's just a few more sections on the boom that they're raising up. I would guess by the end of the month they'll be working full speed on this project.

Was at Zehrs last night and they were setting up a mobile crane. Didn't look too closely but maybe for another tower crane?

Likely, the crane base has been there for a bit now...

The crane is complete. It's a bit shorter than the first one.

Because it looks and functions like shit. It turns buildings into even more ephemeral commodities and is an insult to the history of architecture and engineering.

It seems like such a temporary material and just announces to the world that “this is a forgettable building” that nobody really loved when they made it.
Obviously people need houses in the real world but it doesn’t need to be this way (in my head).
