Those rebar columns are now above ground level.

I know this has been mentioned before but it's crazy how small the site is for what will be the city's tallest building. anyone know what the height to width ratio is for this one?

Did they add new ones then?

Yes, they added a new section. Sorry I didn't have a camera with me.

Today. Based on what I can see today I’m guessing that the area below the heritage building was two levels behind the rest of the site.

@AdamS photo shows the start of the diagonal interior bracing (to support the triple-height first story and rumoured Apple Store).

I never thought the height to width ratio was that bad. On the other hand, some of the supertalls that are being built in New York are really thin looking, like the Steinway Tower. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?s=2d967cbe7b2105896b7f8a23a4f721fe&t=1496564&page=271
Not to my taste.

Great update @Benito! Hard to get an idea how far above the new columns are above grade - are they just poking over or at level? (The schematic drawings I'm working with get a little weird around grade as I'm assuming theres some one or two step grade differences at that level).
