In the previous update on the first phase of the project, interior work was noticeably underway. At nearly every floor, conventional illumination replaced construction lighting and gave the building a finished look at night. The structure looked clean and refreshing as the cladding was nearly completed, leaving almost no gaps in the glass skin.

At the facade, multiple panels have been glassed in, and the tower now barely shows any signs of construction. At the balconies, black metal railing has been installed, splitting each space in half.
