The "jagged" panels definitely appear to be gone. I'm curious about the color. Looks gray in the first image (but everything appears de-saturated) and more of a dark turquoise in the second.

I saw the base of the tower crane in place yesterday. I'd guess the tower crane itself should be going up soon.

Again, apologies for the poor quality. The tower crane base looks to be ready to receive the crane next week.

Increased the saturation and got this. I think that we are looking at a greyish colored skin.

Is it weird that the tower crane has a Burns & McDonnell logo on it?

The YouTube video is VERY flattering to KC. The hotel and residential additions filled the downtown nicely.

As an aside, the Wilkerson people are rather busy lately:
