There are 9 floors above the blow through floor, so this only has 2 more floors + the mechanical screen to go. (Assuming they haven't added a floor since the Jan 5th photos).

Using my fingers as a measuring tool to compare the lower half of the blow through to the top of the frustrum, I agree!

I dont think its that surprising. They had already framed out the hotel rooms and put in some of the HVAC 3 months ago when I visited. So even though the glass is late the first thing to open (the hotel) is likely not too far behind.

And for the condos, considering they are likely to open 50-70% sold, I assume they would prioritize the sold units fit out.

Also whoever told that guy "definitely" is full of it. Its definitely NOT definitely, even if its a possibility. The idea that someone will buy the hotel component and let an untested, even in China, hotel operator like Wanda run it is a farce (I wouldnt count a Wanda Public Entity selling it to a Wanda Family Entity). Its probably an either or. If Wanda really does sell the hotel, another flag will come in. Only problem is the hotel interior design and everything seems done, which means its hard to bring in a different 5-star flag when they cant influence the design.

If Wanda is stuck owning the hotel, then maybe they just operate it.

But clearly nothing is definite when it comes to the hotel. I do wonder how this mess impacts their 2 hotels planned for the lot on Columbus.

1/8/19 Due to the sharp angle, the picture doesn't do this justice of how tall it actually looks in person.

She's a beauty. Hoping most of the glass is installed by the time of my next trip up there later this year.

Even from this distance, it looks taller than Aon!

The tower itself is like one large spire - its slowly tapers to a thin point albeit one that is just part of the building though still a tapered top.

This video also reminds me of Taipei 101, which I have visited in person. It looked about as tall as Sears/Willis Tower, as expected.

The core is almost to the top of 401 N Wabash's roof. Looks a lot taller from the West than I expected! Great photos Harry
