It reminded more of the indoor palms and white shutter look that Willowbrook Mall clings on to so desperately. I was 6 so take that with a grain of salt.

Crikey. Between this and 609 Main's concurrent street closures, downtown navigation is going to be a bit... problematic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was such an educated response. Common sense will tell you that this thing almost looks done with a solid 2 months left before the big game. Looks like they have a chance to finish, maybe. That's my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) You've clearly never worked construction. They seem to be at least 2 months ahead of their scheduled opening. The "closed-in" side you're referring to isn't 2 months worth of work if the money is there. And if they're ahead, that means the money is there to speed up construction. I figured they would barely be installing window panels. Edited November 29, 2016 by j_cuevas713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is beside the point. One does not have to have worked construction to know this is not what a hotel looks like 2 months before opening.

phillip_white Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I know you guys have already started arguing about the completion date.... but has anyone actually seen the progress on the inside of the hotel? Like where the guests actually stay? It's one thing to have the outside complete, but I would think a finished out interior is the main thing that matters in terms of booking rooms. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get by there to take a closer look on the ground... But, at least according to our the most recent pictures in this thread, the outside is not even done. That is why I say that common sense tells us that the hotel is not looking like it will be open in less than 2 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
