Since dropping Photobucket and going to Imgur, I find the image quality much better. Photobucket must downgrade quality. And now they're charging $100's to host images.
Here's two from yesterday, showing the big beams and finished off post tensioning.
This image from June 22 shows the cables hanging out.

I can't recall if this was answered before, but what's with the metal studs going up along the south side? Is that just a temporary measure until the curtain wall comes in?

Not sure. I noticed they are on both the second and third levels. Can't see down to the first.
Apologies for the image size. Also, since dropping Photobucket and going to Imgur, I find the image quality much better. Photobucket must downgrade quality. And now they're charging $100's to host images.

If you go to the picture's page in Imgur, on the bottom right you can change the thumbnail size, which will change the link it spits out.
My guess is a transfer floor between the 5 floors of commercial/office and the residential floors above....like a lobby for the residential.

Not 100% sure, but the first thing that came to mind when I saw them is that they might be the anchor points to tie in the skywalk bridge coming over from citiplace.
I am not quite sure where everyone means, but the connection to the skywalk from CityPlace is on the north side of tower 1, across the south side of tower 2 and out the south side of tower 2 to the future hotel property.

I'm pretty sure esquire was referring to the metal framing that's gone up on the first three floors of tower 1 that they're currently attaching insulation to

Yes, that's it. Along the entire south side of it.
Oh ya, metal studs. Duhh. I was thinking of something else.
Ya they have studs and insulation going up on the 2nd to 4th levels right now. They're working on it right now. No idea why. It'll look like shit if that's the permanent solution. Hopefully it's either just for winter, which seems like a lot of effort. Or I hope that it is in conjunction with the podium for the church project.
There is some permanent more heavy duty, grey coloured steel and block work installed on the main floor, south corner along Hargrave.
It's not seen from the web cam but the external construction material lift was started to be assembled at the Hargrave and Graham corner of the building. There was the first section connected to the building yesterday and I would to see a few more sections up when I look out our window at work tonight.
