Progress continues as we approach the mid point of December. This is a view from the southwest 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-12 deck has been poured in Zone 4 with work progressing on the columns and core as well as Zone 3. The exterior framing is complete through level-9 and is progressing into Zone 1. The masonry veneer is progressing pass level-7 for the Fairview Avenue side of the zone. Interior finishes are underway on level-2 and 3 for all zones, with Drywall beginning on level-5 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 for level-9 is visible. The windows are completed for level-7 with the delivery for level-8 stocked this week. The form work tables for level-12 are in place for zones 4, 3 and 2. The installation of the exterior water and vapor barrier, “Blueskin”, is continuing on the exterior sheathing to allow the veneer to be applied along with drying-in the building.

This is a view from the doorway outside of the Auditorium Entry looking west across the raised courtyard. This presents a good view of the form work tables in place above Zone 2 at level-12 which is the roof level for that zone. Notice the cantilevered overhanging extension to the deck for levels 10 and above.

From this angle the two-story section of the dining room is visible at the top of the building directly in front of the tower crane.
