Based on the renders most of them won’t glow but some will.

Will the glass cubes glow through with light from inside at night or are they covering over concrete

I wonder why they were added. Doesn't seem to be there in the renders.

I think they are mesh panels with venting behind. Check back in the thread for pics.

Yes, the grey metal panels above some of the windows are perforated screens to hide the venting.

They had really better glow, otherwise the warehouse look (which is a bit overdone) will simply overpower the whole thing. Of course, I still live in hopes/expectations of the plants which will greatly soften it up but ......

So they have done 3 floors of cladding in the last year.
At this rate it will take them over 3 years to finish the cladding.

It's amazing how long it takes for anything to be built in this city.

It’s the supply issue, as the complicated panels are fabricated and shipped from South Korea in batches of crates at a time. The panels are still in production so it seems it’s like stop and go progress as shipment arrives on-site.
Looks like the first residential level of cladding on the south side is pretty much done.

Different builders and even different projects from the same builder vary significantly in their pace.

Have you seen how fast Centre Court builds?

It's being built privately. The builders have likely balanced how quickly they want to receive the material with how much they want to pay. To conflate this with public building is, I believe, flawed.

A fair amount up on my site for 360 view in between other projects

Surely they must've completed other work here during this time...? (wishful thinking)
