Really disappointed they cheaped out on the curtain wall.

 

[whatever]

What are you talking about? The curtainwall installation hasn't started yet, and no, they didn't cheap out.

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

...er, it's better than usual. It's doesn't really add unnecessary lines. And is at a shade where the precast stands out...kinda what a lot of us want.

While it's not glass cut perfect, it does looks like it came from somewhere more refined than Walmart.

I thought curtain wall was only going on the eastern office portion?

 

[whatever]

That's correct. Supposed to begin toward the start of August

The rendering shows the entire building in curtain wall.

Renderings show lots of things

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

The rendering shows the entire building in curtain wall.

It's not?

 

[ProjectEnd]

It's not?

It's window wall. As it was always going to be.

Renderings show lots of things

Almost all developers/architects show their renderings in curtain wall, and 99% of the time its almost always window wall. Which is why a lot of projects look so different once constructed. To be fair, the renderings are usually taken from preliminary drawings so there's not a lot of detail, but they know its not going to look as proposed.

Only expect curtain wall on the ground floor retail/lobby, offices, hotels, the occasional super high-end project / maybe a corner feature.
