A good looking building demonized by the garage and its hideous screens that not only don’t hide the cars stored there but actually call greater attention to the garage .
Why cant these tasteless garages be clad to grade as the towers are clad ? Easy
Hi George, it looks like in one of the final renderings, SB will be adding some tile art along the north face of the podium to enhance that part of the design a bit more. I’ve added this rendering towards the end of the article.
Looks like SB cut corners again as the rendering is updated to replace the colorful ceiling with white popcorn ceiling.
Ah thanks for catching that! We had uploaded an outdated rendering that was prior to the new ceiling design. Image has been updated and we will be covering this ceiling more closely in the near future
