Photo update as of Tuesday, March 22.

Tinted window glass has been installed on the second floor windows.

how in the world are they tying the middle of the wall glass to the structure? only where the ramp intersects with a corner medallion?

well that is better than getting rick rolled

it is QUITE a stack of glass to be freestanding... all skyscrapers with this curtain glass is physically attached to the structure at every floor, and i dont see the how on most of the structure

There are rods running from the roof to the ground that are holding the glass.

well you can see them from THAT view... still wouldnt think that this would be enough tie backs for negative pressure situations

There are gaps at the top, so it's possible that the glass will not be air tight.

It is not airtight. The building envelope is the brick building, while the glass is just a decorative facade curtain wall. I believe the glass is the same high strength glass used in Apple's retail, and I don't believe it's one piece. It should be 3 pieces stacked for each column.

Yes, it's three pieces for each section.

I hope they specified the right glass. That corridor could get easily really uncomfortable.

i think the small square openings in the brickwork are for AC vents, otherwise they would have ppl baking in the sun, or moisture fogging the glass...

That facade is a bit out of place when looking at the rest of the structures around it.

Everything else I have seen was much more subtle and there's quite a bit of flow to it. This building was totally fitting that flow but with that big red beacon, it's a bit sullied.

My mistake if this has already been covered. Will there be a charge to get in the building, similar to WOC in Atlanta?

For better or worse, the Disney Springs overall theme pretty much allows for anything to "fit".

Interesting that the artist rendering show no patrons on the ramp wrapping around the building. Maybe its just decorative? Also, I do not like the glass. I prefer the old timey look of the actual brick building with out it being wrapped in ultra modern glass.

I guess you're probably right. One thing that I found especially nice was Morimoto. That building is spectacular.
