Sunset/Vine Tower Shows Some Skin

I'm a bit late on this one - Curbed's post is here but i've got photos!

Construction has finally started showing some signs of progress at the Sunset/Vine tower. This tower has had quite a report card in the past year with being covered entirely in white wrapping for awhile, then covered with both a Motorola Ad and a Transformers Ad and having that really expansive advertising stripped away by high winds - which i got a nice laugh out of.


It is undergoing quite a transformation of it's own at the moment. You can view renderings of the project at the Kanner Architects site. Once finished you can expect to find ...

"The Modern units - full-height glass, large balconies, open floor plans and high ceilings - take advantage of incredible views in all directions. The Building will offer amenities worthy of it's glamorous address, including a gymnasium, valet service and community room for social events" - (kanner architects site)

Construction seems to get going in the mornings around 6 or 7 and you can see the construction elevators going up and down all day - when i took these photos at around 6pm on Thursday the site was deserted. Also, no signs of a construction crane so if they are going to keep up with it's younger, hip and much larger brother (The W Project Two blocks north on Vine) it's going to need to pick up the pace of installing that futuristic skin.

p.s. Also - can't wait for another huge ad in the neighborhood. If you put it in the initial renderings no one can complain about it right?
