^ That was quick, thanks!  At least that will add a little something to that side of the building.

^^In that case, odd as this sounds, I look forward to the day when we need a bigger garage! (12 in 19 baby! C'mon guys, you can do this!)

OCW Leasing banner came down also, assuming for some corporate advertising.

^ I was surprised by that myself.  It was only up for about 5-6 weeks.  I wonder if they'll fill that space in with those black and grey panels and then place an ad on top of that or if they'll slip an ad inside that space instead.

Could be a good sign that leasing is going well.

^Fingers crossed that you are accurate! I would put serious money on them simply capitalizing on prime ad space for a playoff series (and hopefully a few more after that).

I'm pretty certain the ad fits inside that space...

This. The final series of the year next weekend is against the Cubs, which will have huge viewership numbers (even though it appears the games may be largely inconsequential), and then we head into the postseason. Lots of camera shots of that ad space on national television coming.

Any word on what restaurant will be occupying the ground floor space of OCW facing Clark Avenue? And will it be open by opening day next year (even though the rest of the building doesn't open until July)?

I don't know, a close look at this rendering seems to have the ad sticking out off the building a bit.  Either way, I would agree with you, it's probably an ad to take advantage of some potential postseason viewership.
Last I heard leasing was at 40% (which is said to be pretty good for a building that won't open for nearly another year), but I doubt leasing is the reason they took that sign down.

Crane jump today via the webcam. Going to need to do another before top off as it appears as though they are done for the day.

It's a race.  5 floors to go for this, and 6 for One Hundred.  Which one's gonna top out first, One or One Hundred?

Time for a photo update, these were all taken on the newest iPhone, so it helps get most of what I want in one shot.

Live! by Loews
Work on the lobby has started as well as some of the rooms. Black window dividers still need to be installed and the Live! by Loews sign should be installed sometime next month. The chips in the precast concrete are being patched. The construction elevator should come down soon as Missouri Elevator Records specify that equipment is being installed. The white walls at street level could be clad in cream/yellow brick, like the second-floor area, but I can't confirm that. After this, sidewalks will be poured. We could be looking at a late November reopening of the sidewalks between 8th and the Budweiser Beer Garden.




OneLife Fitness and the Field of Dreams
A concert was held here last night, the first with the new stage and Field. The OneLife building continues to have glass installed and the brickwork is nearly complete. The entire building should be enclosed by the end of October.




Cardinal Way (West) and the Pedway
As the OneLife building is enclosed and the Peanntn Building prepares to open, the area between the two should soon begin heavy equipment removed and pavers laid along with stringed lights and some trees. For Cardinal Way, trees have been planted and curbs are being built. Crews will plan a few more trees and will use pavers on the sidewalks. After that, the street lights will be installed. Look for the first pavers to be laid some point this week.



The PwC Pennant Building
The side facing the hotel is continuing to prepared ahead of the mural wall. On the Cardinal Way side, the process should begin on the corners within the next week. Also, the spotlights that light up the brick are officially on. The lobby lights are on and the marble backsplash has been installed based on August photos from Paric (first photo). The lobby will have a vestibule to allow people into a retail space and into the lobby. Sidewalks are being poured underneath the entry awning. The Northwest retail space has glass being installed and crews will be installing the last brick precast panels on the 8th Street side this week. 






One Cardinal Way
Today was the second to last crane jump for the building. The building should be topped out by the end of December according to the crane operator. The leasing sign was taken down as work on the billboard will soon begin.

I really hope they plan to enlarge that LED screen/display. That thing looks minuscule for an outdoor entertainment venue.

It's a bit pedantic, but when you say "5 floors to go", do you mean 5 floors to go until they pour the floor of the 29th floor? They don't have 24 floors complete, they have 23 floors complete - the top level they have poured as of this moment is the floor of the 24th floor (not the ceiling).

This is a screenshot of today's workzone cam...

I can answer this the floor count goes from 12 to 14 we do not use 13 as a floor.

Ah-ha!

In other words, it's actually only a 28 story building. The whole architectural superstition around not designating 13th floors is pretty silly. You would think humans would have gotten over their silly triskaidekaphobia sometime in the last 50 years or so.

It's a 29-story building.  The top floor is the 30th Floor.

Got it. In that case, the 24th floor is complete - meaning the floor of the 25th floor is poured but not the ceiling - which means there are 6 levels left to complete, not 5. Or if you want to get super technical, 5 more floors have to be poured, but 6 more ceilings have to be completed.

I was referring to the actual floor of each story, as that pour generally requires much more coordination, work and material than the columns.  The "ceiling" doesn't require any work, as it is just the bottom of the floor above.  🙂
I had counted a 13th Floor for One Cardinal Way, though, and just confirmed from their leasing site that there isn't one.  So, actually, it is the floor of the 24th story, but the 25th Floor, which is currently formed and being poured, or curing, as we write.  There are 5 more floors and the roof remaining to be poured.
One Hundred has a 13th Floor.  So it is the floor of the 30th story (and Floor) which is currently formed, but not yet poured.  There are 6 more floors and the roof remaining to be formed and poured.

I'm sure it will be surrounded by static ads, but yes, it looks pretty cheap either way.  They will probably do live broadcasts of games, and the Cardinals don't want the competition of a free jumbo LED screen...lol
