This will be the last update for the year 2007! It is amazing what can be accomplished in one year of focused hard work. 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 form work tables have been moved up above level-12 to form the roof of the structure in Zone 4! The exterior framing is progressing through level-10, with window preparation completed on level-9 of this zone. The masonry veneer is progressing to level-8 for the Fairview Avenue side of the zone. Interior finishes are continuing on level-2-4 for all zones, with Drywall on level-5.

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-10 is visible coming to the corner of Zone 3. The form work tables for the roof level for zones 4 and 3 are in being placed. The level-12 roof deck was being poured today over Zone 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; as it is readily apparent on the Minor Avenue side of the building. The veneer installation will take place on Minor and John once the scaffolding is moved from Fairview and Denny Way, until then it will remain blue!
