Nicely captures the entire project. What intrigues me about it is, how few parking spaces are available for the retail businesses remaining. Unless they've opened up the parking under the buildings almost completed to the west of the plaza?

From the HPA letter:

I am writing to provide a rationale for the removal of vertical fin details on Block 2 of the development at 1245 Dupont Street.

The original design for the project included a stamped metal vertical fin detail on the façade. Upon thorough investigation of the fabrication required, we were unable to locate a supplier that could produce and certify it at the scale required for the building.

In light of these challenges, we have made the decision to eliminate the vertical fin elements from the design. We firmly believe that maintaining the design integrity of the building is of paramount importance, and rather than compromising on the quality of the detailing, we have chosen to make this modification.

^^ Qu'est-ce que c'est… cette aileron vertical?

Hope they aren't talking about the beautiful horizontal crown treatment... are they? Are they eliminating the faux wrought iron balcony guards??

I can't find the drawings at the moment, but I don't think it's either of those. They had proposed these perforated metal panels up and down the building in strips, IIRC. It was just a cool/unique detail that I was looking forward to seeing. I think most of the original design remains intact otherwise.

Taken 29 March. This development has created a great view reminds! Almost like a different street. You can now see the streetwall going diagonally through the site.

Dupont go boom!

Who here in this group would like a Starbucks coffee shop to come to the lobby area of Galleria 3 in the future or another coffee shop like Mccafe in the future?

Yes, but I'll add that I'd prefer it were a two-level or 2nd floor coffee shop overlooking the street at the corner.

I think that the developer is thinking a little more upmarket. Lol ️

Instead of a nice indie? Poppycock.
