It is good to see this project moving along---the downtown needs helps in so many ways. Real limestone again....I'd forgotten what that looked like!

so...that really doesn't look like real limestone. i've been around construction all my life, and have a masters degree in architecture and real limestone would be significantly thicker than that for a veneer. the window sill in the closeup looks to be real limestone, but the rest looks to be EIFS attached to the CMU block wall. the reason i say... is you can see the paint run on the edge of the bump-out - and the color difference from the presumably real limestone window sill to the facade stone next to it...
sigh... i really love vegas but ish like this really disappoints me. Reply to this

my mistake - while the facade that we see in the zoomed out mock-up is EIFS you can see real limestone around the right side facing away from the camera ... look at how much thicker it is. Reply to this

I with Adam, doesn't look like limestone at all - if it were, not only would it be thicker but you would also see attachment clips and an airspace between the stone and the CMU backer.
I've said it before and will say it again - I'm all for developing downtown, but this place is shaping up to be an enormous architectural disappointment. Reply to this
