Curtainwall installation has been completed up to level 12 and the drywall is up to level 3. The basement levels continue to be built out, including the kitchen with its equipment. The H4/H5 podium elevators are shaft ready and the core elevators have railings installed up to level 8 and the pits are completed. The exterior hoist is now running up to level 16. The pool has been installed on level 7, but, unfortunately, not quite ready to take a dip in yet! The level 5 mechanical room has all major equipment installed and is continuing to be built out. Summer is unfortunately gone and SCCI is currently prepping for winter by providing temporary heat on the floors so work can continue.
The next 3 months include the following activities:
- Concrete Structure – Level 26-37 and top of belt truss steel system
- Hoist access – Up to Level 30
- Curtainwall – Up to Level 25
- Storefront Framing – Level 1
- Core Elevators – Pits complete, railings installed to Level 18
- H4/H5 Podium Elevators – Railings to Level 08

Not sure I'm crazy about the glass... the renderings made it seem like it'd be more sliver/gray tint and its more greenish.
Does anybody know the specifics on that green tinted glass we see everywhere now? Is it cheaper than clearer glass or other colored glass or is it just a design choice?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-iron_glassLow-iron glass is a type of high-clarity glass that is made from silica with very low amounts of iron. This low level of iron removes the greenish-blue tint that can be seen especially on larger and thicker sizes of glass.[1] Low-iron glass is used for aquariums, display cases, some windows, and other applications where clarity is desired.[2]
Low-iron glass typically has a ferric oxide content of about 0.01%.[1] Ordinary plate glass has about 10x as much iron content.

EVERY building is rendered with lighter-than-air silver glass, and EVERY building save for a few ends up with dark glass. That's just how it goes.
Sigh ... its not dark. Its standard clear (not low iron). It will look less dark when the interior finishes are up and the lights are on.
(cut and pasted from every conversation from every thread lamenting the dark glass thing)
