That concrete core is much, much more massive and stronger when one compares the core used in the old World Trade Center in NYC. Concrete not drywall around the stairs.

The WTC twin towers didn't have a concrete core. The majority of its support came from the outside load bearing walls - inside was just a steel mesh instead of a concrete core.

Would love to see more murals around town like that one on the side of the Parkside Residence.

...each to his own. I find murals depressingly dated and small town.

What's small town about a 24ish story mural? That's big city! We have tons of murals around San Francisco.

So a giant grey weathered concrete wall is less depressing to you?

I was struggling to see what you guys were talking about, but I think I see it now. The newly constructed floor (on the right of the last photo) has a little addition that protrudes slightly from the edge. It looks like it will lead up to the apex of one of the diamond facets. Neat.
