They have next to no staging area at this project, so have been needing it for that.

It's starting to fill this strip out nicely. It'll be really cool to see looking westbound down Mercer.

So far looking very D List

Those grey, metal window frames would have looked so much better in black. What the heck is wrong with the developers? They make such poor choices, even on prominent buildings.

I do like black frames but, disagree they would work here. Darker mullion caps versus the spandrel glass rarely looks good.

that looks very promising. Contrasts the glass nicely, and bold enough to make an impact.

Agreed, I'm hoping it'll have a big enough impact to add some warmth to the Entertainment District.
