The project, in pictures.

Four ways of seeing the block: illustrative finished-tower renders, an AI-assisted reconstruction from dated demolition stills, the live construction cam, and the real frames documenting the build as it happens.


Artist's impressions

How it could look.

AI-generated renders built to match the approved massing, tower heights and materials — the two residential/hotel towers, the bowed bronze office 'lens,' the louver crowns and the podium plaza. Illustrative, not official Onni imagery, and from angles no camera can shoot yet.

Cinematic reconstruction

Nineteen days in fifteen seconds.

Four real construction-cam frames mark the verified states of the June 2026 teardown. Kling-generated motion bridges those frames; it is presented here as an illustrative reconstruction, never as documentary footage.

Live now

The site, as it is.

For the documentary record, this is the moving picture that matters: the 24/7 camera looking directly onto the block, with no generated motion and no reconstruction.
