Not really. CITC is a much wider, larger footprint, it's a behemoth.

I don't think the zoom feature on my browser goes far enough. 1911 Walnut will look good if it steps into the breach.

No it wasn't! It was a really great picture! I'm sorry. There was a nonsense discussion that I deleted that came right after you posted your picture. I think your picture is great. Sorry for any confusion and please keep them coming

^^^^Nice photos!

The diagonal bars are looking good! Now we'll be able to judge how high the steel is climbing. //////////\\\\\\\\\\


(***That last humongous photo is great! Hope you don't mind, but it makes an awesome wallpaper for my desktop)

Looking at the rebar at the top of the core, I'm thinking that the profile of the core is being stepped back again. If so, we should probably see the forms on the west side being re-positioned today.

the pictures don't do justice to the scale of the base structure looks mammoth from JFK in front of the Mellon building

I color coded the below photo. Yellow=steel, blue=completed core, red=where they are currently working on the core and orange=what they still need to finish on the core. Does the core stop where the building sets back? If so they only have roughly 10 floors to go.

Nice work there. It could be the concrete reinforced core ends at the setback but the two dotted lines through the center of the hotel portion suggest there maybe some sort of steel backbone.

I wonder if the upper portion will be concrete, like the FMC tower?

I was always under the speculation that the west side was the core til the spire. I had no clue it tapered towards the east side.
