About This Website
The aim of this site is to create a forum where owners and residents (future residents at this stage) can share thoughts and information regarding the MAG 218 development. The idea is to create a "community" albeit in digital form, which might eventually represent the real community of residents who will inhabit the complex. A further objective is to establish a link between owners and residents and the developer and its partners, whereby questions, requests or concerns and replies to these may be posted.
Owners and residents are encourged to participate in this forum by posting comments directly to the site or by contacting the Website Manager. Each entry is followed by a Post a Comment link, allowing anyone to easily type in a message which when posted will appear on the page like the sample below.
The Website Manager may be contacted direclty by clicking the Contact Me link in the sidebar, which opens an email compose form--provided the browser is configured to do so. Otherwise the following email address (upandhi@gmail.com) may be used to manually compose a letter.
Addendum (A Word About the Website Design)
Anyone familiar with Blogger.com will recognize the popular template, which amusingly found its origin in a shower curtain.
Beyond that a lot of fiddling has gone into the HTML to modify not only the look of the site but its functionality as well. It is a totally amateur product with hopefully a professional look. The MAG 218 Community site is the first of over a dozen complimentary sites which include the following:

Anyone familiar with Blogger.com will recognize the popular template, which amusingly found its origin in a shower curtain.
TicTac (and it’s blue variation) was inspired by the pattern on my shower curtain, which coicidentally fit in nicely with Blogger’s new “rounded” look. The designs make up 2 of the 26 templates created by an all-star cast of web designers (Todd Dominey, Dan Rubin, Dave Shea and Jeffrey Zeldman), assembled and directed by Douglas Bowman of Stopdesign.Simplebits.com

There are three online sources of info including photos of the MAG 218 site: MAG 218 Community and related links, skyscrapercity.com's MAG 218 forum and the developer's site.
The MAG 218 Community site will have updates once every two weeks or so, the developer site less frequently and the skyscrapercity.com site will offer mostly discussion. There are no daily updates, web cam or other type log.
At present those interested in progress on the tower must rely on personal visits by people in the area who are interested in sharing photos and other info. All are welcome to contribute on this website.
At present, foundation work is continuing, night and day--piles are being driven into the ground. Beyond that there is little visible change onsite day to day.
