that is ridiculously hard to even look at... to bad they didn't have something so you could see the facade. maybe they will once they reach the top.

still kind of hard to tell, but is that the back or front side? because atleast form a distance you can't see the "not-so-beautiful" base.

the cool thing about that webcam as its at least live, I can see the rain drops falling down but your right you cant tell much of anything but pices of wood and cords and cement.

By the way Good to see you on here Mopacs.

I think they may be started initial work on the Hotel part because I noticed they had heavy equipment and alot of dirt movment just next to the shore where the hotel is supposed to go up. So hopefully we should see that building rise soon.

The shore is comming along nicely it is much taller now. But I am wondering when they are going to start working on the hotel part?

The 22-story Shore looks to be complete (on the outside anyway), not sure when people will be moving in. Site prep for the Kimpton Hotel took place last year and I haven't heard anything reliable about when construction is supposed to start. Since the Shore and Kimpton were designed to be connected up to the sixth floor, one side of the base of the Shore will always look unfinished if the hotel isn't built.

The Hotel portion of the project has been put on hold. This is according to a Kimpton Hotel spokesperson.

The developer announced today that they could only secure financing for the Hotel portion of the project. So it was redesigned as a 16 story hotel instead of the 31 story hotel with condos on the top floors. Here's the new rendering:

so, what is actually being buit?

In the new rending I understand that is the Hotel, but it will be paired with the shorter building from the earlier rendering?

so the tall building is now replaced by this new shorter hotel correct?

any images of what they will look like together?
