Millwright is getting its façade. Unfortunately, all the brick is precast and going up in large panels. Not quite as "authentic warehouse" as I was expecting.

They have vents in place of the windows. Makes me wonder if the current tenant needed some kind of venting so they removed the windows. It's been this way for a couple months now.

Just walked through there. The sign in the skyway today says 550: Caribou/Einstein, WF ATM and McKinney Roe (connected on first floor) and 600: WF Bank branch and D. Brians.

Walked thru the WF west tower today from the Haaf ramp. Lot's of Beige and grays with a few wood brown accents. Nothing open yet in the west tower on the skyway. Lots of old pics done as large posters with the history of the city right now. The east tower is to have the Caribou/Einstein Bagels in t...

Huh. Looks like some Wells Fargo employees are already in the building today.

There's a couple employees working there already, although most of it has been tours for those who are relocating. The first official employees move in this weekend.

WF probably was prepared for this and said screw it anyway. The signage is worth the lawsuit. They're plan from the beginning was to have signage so that it would "photo bomb" any aerial shots of the stadium. These signs were also in the drawings all the way back to the preliminary plan. T...

The rooftop signage is about half done on the first building too.

Nobody's going to use this. Why take the long way up, over and back down when you can just wait for the train to pass? It would be different if it connected directly to the stadium.

I saw the Radisson Red in progress the other day too. And one of the tower cranes came out of the second WF tower....only 1 left.

It's not really green, just looks that way in the picture. It's just silver. And I think they did that just to hide the mechanicals on the roof.

The signs in Saks say Spring 2016.

I went in the other day for the first time and was also underwhelmed. However, it's definitely better than the old location! I'm hoping that they rushed to get it open and will add more to fill it up over time. Definitely a closer walk than Target for me, so I'm happy that it's there.

They took the smaller crane off the West tower now too. The exterior of that one should be wrapping up here pretty soon. Although they still have to finish wrapping the vertical columns.

I did mean Portland, not Park. Sorry for the confusion.

The last of it disappeared first thing this morning. Down by 8am. And yes, they are digging out the basement and all the tunnels, etc. That's one reason the last section stood for so long, they've been digging out a lot of debris so they could get to it. Plus they just got done removing the tunnel u...
