The progress continues at a great pace! This is a view from the SW corner of Fairview Avenue and Denny Way looking northeast. This is the signature view of the building as we are looking at the Gateway Corner for the South Lake Union Neighborhood. This is known as Zone 4. The level-9 deck forming is complete for Zone 4 and underway in Zone 3. The exterior framing is beginning on level-6, with level-5 being prepared to start installation of the windows. The masonry veneer is completed up to the start of level-4 for both the Fairview Ave. and Denny Way sides of the zones. The interior drywall work for Zone 4 on level-2 will be ready for paint next week.

Here is a view looking west to northwest down Denny Way toward Mirabella, with the Space Needle in the background behind Zone 4 on the left. The completed framing and sheathing of level-5 is visible, with the windows installed through level-4. The decks for Zone 4, 3, and 2 have been poured for level-8. The installation of the exterior water and vapor barrier, “Blueskin”, is continuing to allow the installation of the insulation and brick veneer to proceed.

This is a view from Unit 934 northeast across the courtyard toward Zone 2. The progression of the exterior framing through level-5 is evident inside the courtyard as well as outside. The structural cables and steel reinforcement bars are installed in Zone 1 of level-8 as this last deck for level-8 is almost ready to be poured.
