The dark part is kinda ugly

I noticed that in this image you can see the previously mentioned bump outs just above that parking garage. Never noticed that before.

pecker jokes aside, it's human nature to see recognizable objects in things so it's really hard to not realize that Omaha is fully erect and flashing it at Iowa. Your move, Iowa.

Monday update

Tuesday update. Looks like the eastern side of the jump forms are coming off.

skinzfan23 · Post by **skinzfan23** » Tue Mar 25, 2025 4:20 pm

So is that the highest the core is going on the East side?

So glass is going up…

I'm guessing they are reconfiguring the slip-form. The High-rise portion of the tower shows the elevators continuing up on the east side with some minor changes. Again, just a guess.

The slip form is completely off on the east side now. Also you can get a good look at the shape of the building from most of that first level of steel in place.

That appears to be yet another change from the plans submitted to the planning board. The submitted plans have a step back on the west side around this level and the elevator shafts that go all the way the the top are on the eastern side of the core. The final rendering no longer has this step back on the west side, and the core appears complete on the eastern side, so the elevator shafts that go all the way to the top must be in the middle of the core now.

This old video shows how the core was "divided" from the start with this in mind.

So awesome. Steel and Glass in the same month1 Who would have guessed that.

Love glass structures and the reflections from surrounding buildings. Kinda gives it more of a dense feel to the surroundings.

and if you zoom in on this one there appears to be trees!?

Amazing to see the parking structure fully clad in glass. People won't realize the parking goes so high until they see headlights shining through the glass, unless the glass has an opaque coating on the inside. I wonder how they are venting car exhaust out of the parking areas. There will probably be some huge louvers somewhere within the garage levels.

I will be curious to see how they handle this as well. Maybe hide some of it in the tucked corners they’re doing?

I was wondering the same thing - although it would likely never happen... let's say hypothetically some sort of emergency calls for vacating the entire tower and people run to their cars to all leave at the same time. Not sure how many stalls the garage will contain, but it has to be hundreds, perhaps more than 1000. They can vent all of that exhaust out side and not put any occupants at risk of carbon monoxide? To me, it appears the glass is pretty well sealed from one pane to the next. Perhaps there's slots all around that actually act as vents.

Of course there's no way this was overlooked in the design - just goes to show they did a great job at concealing whatever the solution is because it looks like it's simply going to be one big glass office building!

Is the glass on all sides or just the east? Remember the other materials they have been putting on the north and west side for the past couple months now?

West side was originally stated to be aluminum, but who knows what we'll actually end up with.

You can see the glass stop a little over halfway down the south side of the building in this rendering. I'd assume the same on the north side.

If you look closely at this image and imagine it's the north side instead, you can see some of the lighter colored exterior finish pieces have recently been installed in these areas you mention.

That yellow exterior cover for the east side of the slip form should go back on once the core goes up another level or two.

LOL!

And I know it could totally be liberties of the rendering artist but it would be a nice touch.

I did notice when I played the videos, there was other content after the time lapses.

Yeah, I was not ok with it auto-playing that. I appreciate the time-lapses, but let's please avoid sites that add that type of forced unnecessary content. I just put those videos behind spoilers because they autostart when you scroll over them and then play unrelated stuff afterwords.
