Any more info on this? Looks really cool from what is shown

It's the Hart annex

[Pete]

There was a building permit issued about a year ago but just last week they finally had the first inspection, for the foundation.

I suspect they decided to wait until the Hart (immediately west) was finished and open before starting on this project in earnest. It's owned by the same group.

This project is now well under way (photo courtesy of Metro):

What does SLIVR stand for?

[RadicalModerate]

The need for a sign company to use SpellCheck.

The need for a sign company to use SpellCheck.

Heh.

I just now noticed the blurb at the top (which I had somehow overlooked) that said this was known as the "sliver" building. Which just begs the next question. Why?

[Pete]

Because it's long and narrow, like a sliver.

It's a term to describe very tall, skinny buildings in New York as well.

Me and Bradley took a thorough walk around Film Row after FRunch. We were comparing the actual construction vs. the rendering of this project. This sign-looking thing isn't in the renderings. We weren't sure what it is. There were several things not like the rendering.

[Pete]

Thanks!

It looks like the design has changed slightly since the original renderings, most notable is the overhead extension of the front facade:

New photos... Love the rusty looking facade:

How close are they to being finished? Is there much more work to be done on the inside?

[Pete]

They should be finished in the next couple of months.

I was out riding bikes with my kids downtown in the beautiful weather Sunday and it's really quite nice. I'm more impressed with it than I thought I'd be.

What a gorgeous project. I love this little building.

[Pete]

^

I agree.

I think this building is totally badass.

[DammitDan]

I take it this will mostly be office space?

[Pete]

There are three business taking all the ground floor:

Butzer Gardner Architects
Obelisk Engineering
308 Design Collaborative

They also have the 2nd floor (~2,000 square feet) for lease.
