Interesting visual dynamic here, as it's top disappears beyond the 408 ramp above.

We've got glass

Good looking glass!

So this is about half way up at this point?

Don’t think so b/c most of the floor levels are shorter ceiling heights.  From here on out they’ll be taller unless the hotel levels go shorter again.

We've got even more  glass

It was my impression that the hotel portion would occupy the truncated section on the east side of the building. That section ends at the 17th floor. After that, the upper level, half-width section continues on up to 28 floors, which should be all office space with the taller floor heights.

That's the way I understand it anyway.

This is incorrect. It is opposite. The Hotel is at the top, with the amenities deck and lounge overlooking DT/DPAC Plaza/City Hall. Office is on the bottom closer to parking and SunRail platform in the middle floors being built currently.

I knew it was divided according to the wider lower portion and the thinner upper portion. Having the hotel at the top makes sense, given the better views I guess, but it seems like better views would be a major selling point for commercial office renters, too.

Why the heck didn't they just make the tower taller to begin with and do away with that odd looking width change?

nevermind...

From this (limited) view, the new color scheme of 55W doesn't look half bad.  The cooler blue tones actually mesh decently with the façade of Church Street Plaza.
