Today from the ground.

@Benito coming through with the overhead and the ground level shots as usual!

Does anyone know if the angle super-columns supposed to have concrete surrounding it? I don't think so from what I can tell from the plans, but want to confirm.

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Those angled pieces aren't supercolumns. They will end up being clad - but no need for concrete.

The supercolumns are 4 vertical I-shaped columns that are encased in rebar and concrete.

Nothing better than seeing some progress, no matter how small.

I've just put up a front page story that Jack and I worked on. It should help explain the columns situation for anyone not sure. (There are eight of the super* or mega* columns, BTW.)

You got that right. Once this really gets rising it will be a sight to behold.

Nice article 42 - some people would say you "got it right"

Relax...

...just kidding. Go knock yourself out!

The nay sayers are rather quiet today...

I rather wait for this building to be completed first though. Then we can rub it in. /wink

Better be careful what if this is as far as they get...

Just now.

Just now from the sidewalk.

This thing is going to fly up pretty quickly now that this more complex structure is being put in place.

I wonder how soon we’ll see the retail space handed over to Apple to start building their store. While there has been talk about retail opening years in advance of the tower being completed, I can’t see Apple opening at the base of an active construction zone.

 

[Mercenary]

Should be half way to the top by this time next year.
