Earlier this month, we took some aerial photos of the Union Tower West project. In just a couple of weeks, a lot has happened over at this project site that’s worthy of another update.
One of the facade features on Union Tower West is a glass curtain wall covering the entire building. Workers have started to install the glass which will break up the brick and stucco facades around this project.
It’s not very often we see concrete and steel structures mix. Because this is a hotel and office project, the hotel has a concrete shell while the office portion has a steel shell.
Union Tower West has two more floors to go until it tops out at 12 stories. It’ll be a great sight to see the glass facade go up over the next few weeks!
Is there a reason why the hotel has a concrete shell?
