That sounds like an excellent book, I'll be sure to buy myself a copy. Thanks for mentioning it!

It looks like we have ascended to the final cut away level. Should only have roughly 11 to 12 floors to go plus rooftop after that? It is hard to tell tho.

Pinnacle is climbing fast. Sometimes I feel like the two buildings are racing each other to be the first.

I'm pretty sure there's only 5 floors left?

They were only at 71 last week

There are six floors after the mechanical level so if we are on the final floor of the mechanical level that would put us at 6:00 to 7 floors left plus the crown

That was a reference to the outside elevator, which was at 71, but they were doing concrete work on the mechanical levels, which are 77 & 78.

We can kinda math this one out. It is currently slightly taller than Number One Bloor, which is around 260 M. We can use that as reference. I say it give or take has 10 meters to 15 meters on One Bloor, so the gap should be around 38 meters.

The One's Final height is 308 meters. There will be 85 floors, and I counted 3 mechanical floors, and they look to be 2 floors worth of height each give or take, prolly a bit more. So i will set my total floor counts at 93 to include the mechanical levels and maybe the crown. That's 3.31 Meters average. If we are at the mechanical floors, then we assume that we are at 77 floors. then we have 7 floors + mechanical floors (assume 2 floors) and Crown (assume 1 floor). So 10 floors, which net us at around 33 meters.

Pretty close, so we prolly are as @UpwithOlives said, at 77 (or 76) floors, and have about 7 floors, plus mechanical level and the crown to complete.

Just watch, in two posts, someone will come in with the real floor numbers and my napkin math will be proved completely wrong and I will go hide in a hole.

He was asked to call it that!

I’ve been staying quiet every time this comes up. Never thought my love for alliteration would’ve caused so much strife.

Let's play a game:

One of the photos has been retouched using the Clean Up tool in the iOS Photos app courtesy of Apple Intelligence. Spot which photo and where in that photo has this tool been applied.

By the time the hoarding is off- is this just gonna be a super sterile corner?

Do you mean at street-level?
Will depend on who the main floor tenant is. Lots of people still hoping for Apple, but I think that ship has sailed.
