It looks like the size of the roof area is intended to provide a reasonable work area for the window washing stage without resorting to L-Tower-like systems.
There is something neat in how it just stealthily disappears from view. As if it’s not there at all. Every time I look for it while walking around, it took a moment to spot.
Grand unveiling of the Penthouse suites yesterday. Only one of the 4 fully finished suites was open for touring; 2 two - floor suites on 57 and 58, and 2 one - floor suites on 56 (one sold). My amateur pics tell part of the impressive the story.
As an aside, from the Master Bedroom on the 58th floor of the west suite there's a clear view of wood paneling still up on L-Tower. I wonder if anyone will ever force the builder to finish what they started 10 (?) years ago, or is this the way it will always be?
Sorry for the thread bump, but as my friends are moving from Market Wharf, this is probably the last time I'll have a chance to post a shot from this angle, one of the better views of this building. Taken Saturday:
Honestly this one turned out great. Not the most architecturally striking but a solid building with good retail spaces at grade and is generally attractive.
