Was told last week when shooting the site, the crane in between the buildings is not going to be tall and it has to be anchor down nightly as it cannot swing in the wind like the other ones without hitting the building. The crane is for the precast for the next 12-18 months.

I really do like this office tower. Too early to say that about the other buildings.

Lot more up on site
This is the crane the cannot swing and must be anchor down at night. As you can see there are 4 cables that anchor the crane down.

This... is not looking amazing. Renderings certainly sold a different story. Will try to be patient but I am not encouraged by the quality of finishes, details, spandrel and mullions, etc. facing Wellington so far.

Sorry - what exactly is being built that wasn't shown on drawings?

 

[Rascacielo]

Curiously, there's only one near close-up of the Wellington frontage in nearly 70 renderings of this project in UT's database. It shows an alternating white pre-cast and brick cladding on the lower levels, as supposed to the actual built form (all-brick frontage). The 4 buildings also seem to have more varied frontages (eg. grid on the first white building on the left, vertical 'columns' on the third).

Picture from the database.

To @ChesterCopperpot's point though, we don't build from renderings. We build from drawings.
