That's some thick glass.

I was totally taken by the cut out in the glass. From a distance it seemed like it was displaying a moving image. Like a monitor.

It looks like they started forming the next floor. I thought they would be doing the diagonal columns first.

Looks like they're throwing up forms for the next floor from Mr. Mar's first pic.

If you ever do, just make sure it's not on a Sunday.

I will keep that in mind and if I do, will definitely not post about it here. People are very touchy when it comes to joking about this building!

Not to tip over the apple cart but might that cutout in the glass fit some sort of fruit?

That's some thick glass.

It's beyond bullet proof and it cost something ridiculous like a million per pane IIRC

I think we're going to see the pace of this thing start to pick up.

Maybe Mizrahi frequents this thread to see how the community is reacting to the construction progress!

A lot more people than you'd expect frequent this thread.

But in more seriousness, is the progress really being that slow with all things considered? Or we just naturally being impatient for something fantastical we wanted to have been built yesterday? I know that I've been guilty of the latter at times.

I honestly will not complain about the speed at which construction progresses for any project. I am neither qualified nor do I have any experience with large-scale multi-million dollar construction projects to critique the construction progress of this building.

The building will be completed when it is completed and I'm totally fine with that!

There's no question this building has been moving incredibly slowly. It's also one of the most unique and complex buildings in the city.

There have definitely been delays (covid, stop work permit, etc.) And they've definitely been behind schedule (pours happening weeks after they were scheduled to on multiple occasions) so yes it's been slow and they're definitely not on schedule. That said, I imagine building this podium always would've taken longer than most over buildings, and its not hard to figure out why.

So I guess it's up to each individual to determine just how slow this has actually been, relatively speaking.

It also seems like a lot of attention has been put into the lower levels, likely to have Apple open before construction on the rest of the tower is completed. Given that the site is limited, there's only so much work that can be done at once.

Maybe they can finally install the hangers once this floor is poured/cured?
