Slowly getting taller and wider with the Western part of the complex nearlhy about to join the Eastern in going vertical. These may not be especially sexy pix (and I can absolutely stop posting pix if it's just coming off as clutter) and the end-result won't be sexy, either, but it's so nice to...

A peek inside here. Wish there were more.

humor? or i missed an updated render?
