The metal protrusions mentioned by @AlvinofDiaspar ...

Nope, wasn't referring to these - there are only present at the four corners of the floor plate, and from the looks of it, not visible from a street vantage point. A 300% blow-up of the NE corner from @thaivic's pic:

You can see a structure at the corner opposite the porta-potty. You can also see them from a slightly older pic by @Benito - this is the western edge of the tower:

And the connector sitting on the form (presumably for the SW corner):

Two floors down baby! Great to see this taking shape.

Is this how the whole building will go up? Large steel beams followed by scaffolding and "floor pours"? Because just this first floor has taken what has felt like months, surely there will be faster progress as this building grows, right?

The first few floors are quite special and tricky due to shifting structural loads around.

The repeating smaller floorplates after floor 7 will go much faster, around 1.5 floors per week (faster lower down, slower as they get higher).

Thanks for the answer!

This morning. I also heard the pour will be either December 18-19 or 19-20.

I look forward to the day when the respective workers and Mr. Benito are shaking hands with each other at his balcony perch...

I look forward to the day where shaking hands is a thing again in general

Those metal corners are for the angle extoskelton that transitions the 6 floors at a time, it's how they can have no beams at the corners

I am pretty sure contractors and such working on this are aware of all the issues here and taking steps to rectify anything along this line that comes up. If this building topples over though in its construction, I guess your concerns will likely then have more merit...

I didn't have any concerns

...hopefully that will happen long before this building reaches said handshaking height presuming it's on schedule.

Made a mistake on the height of the lobby core, so have removed that from the timeline and humbly beg your forgiveness

 

[Mercenary]

Damn didn't realize how slow this thing is. March to Dec...this thing has barely moved up.

Hopefully with permits resolved...this thing shoots up like a rocket.

 

[The Preservationist]

Well at the current rate of one floor per year it should be complete by 2105 ..... just kidding they've really been very productive over the last 3 months and I see no reason why this productivity won't continue.

Oh I hope they aren’t that close

Height ≠ progress in this case! A substantial amount of complicated steelwork to have that floating podium and a rather unfortunate hold that we shall no longer need to talk about!
