Project Updates
June 28, 2024 Update
The Conference Center and Market have advanced past most inwall and above ceiling inspections and have started to enclose all interior walls and ceilings. Tenants will also notice the sheathing advancing on the exterior of the Conference Center and framing moving forward on the Center Amenity. As work
advances inside Towers 4 and 5 (2555 and 2575), Tenants will once again have access to the South Entry of Tower 5 where the new pavers have been installed. Relocating our fitness center up to the new second floor of the Center Amenity meant creating a new floor assembly to isolate that gym/studio
activity from the Amenity spaces below. The GC is near completion on a floor assembly on the second floor that will isolate that activity from the Café, Private Dining and Parlor spaces below...and don’t forget to download the app to book our spaces!

Upcoming
As we work to complete the shade structure and gateway framing – the roof patch-back for those
structural supports is underway. On the underside at that same area - the GC is close to closing in
those retail colonnade ceilings and sheathing the exterior bulkhead and fascia. Work is also advancing
that may not be as visible to the Tenants but is critical to the success of the project; the plumbing and
infrastructure for the Center Amenity kitchen and bar has been installed an inspected and we’ll be
installing a new Grease Interceptor on the B1 level of the parking structure below...along with the steel
needed to support that on the B2 Level. Please be mindful as you navigate those areas of the garage in
the upcoming weeks.
