That's Pier 27!

A slightly better angle today showing the curvature:

MissyC · July 5th, 2012, 11:23 AM

Oh nice... is going steadily taller and taller ... love it.

I can also easily notice the curve ... lovely is that.

offkilter · July 5th, 2012, 05:32 PM

But is it just me, or does it look like a sudden change of angle, with a subtle point to it, rather than a gradual curve? It kind of looks that way in the pics I've seen...

ONE HUMAN · July 5th, 2012, 10:14 PM

I see it the same way. However, curtainwall is being applied to the north face, so perhaps that will smooth out the curve somewhat.

current · July 6th, 2012, 04:12 AM

By looking on the right side (northwest corner) you can see how the floors curve gradually. The supporting columns create the optical illusion by coming to a point and then there is a sudden change of angle.

hey guys, here a shot i wanted to share with ya,..

LOVE THIS BUILDING.

germandoyle · July 19th, 2012, 12:35 AM

mm i wish it were taller..but i suppose the final high is ok.

isaidso · July 19th, 2012, 02:14 AM

It's not huge, but at 205 m it will have a big city scale. 200 seems to be the threshold for me. Below it, a building's height doesn't really make an impression; above it, a building starts looking quite tall.

germandoyle · July 20th, 2012, 01:06 AM

btw, how many buildings up to 200 mts we have.....i do not know but i think they are around 20 more or less right?..

16 built or u/c, 29 including proposals.

I must have not been paying enough attention because this building has really shot up. It looks absolutely huge in that first picture (that's what she said).

***Taller, Better*** · July 21st, 2012, 09:03 AM

I'm like you... this one seems to be shooting up astronomically fast!!
