This is still under construction?

They built the Great Wall in less time.

Wow, really? If that's the case then this tower predates America.

I think this building would be showcased much better if that fugly antenna on the 4 Times Square building were gone. Though it actually looks good in that last shot. From bigger panos there are just too many spires/antennas in close proximity now imo. Thoughts?

I generally like the building though. Just imagine when WTC 1 is finished. Too add to the list, NY might as well be called the "City of Spires."

I have to agree this tower is taking a really long time. But I still like it.

Hmm... the main part is completed. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that this thread should be moved to the Completed Highrises section.

Um, WRONG! They are still replacing damaged window panels. Duh!

Seriously, this task should be done by 1st qtr 2015, and then, once all the windows have been squeejeed and the firestair interior paint job touched up, the thread can be moved to the completed section. Not a minute before, though.

Be patient - we should allow the many admirers of this impressive building to preen in its extended 99.999% complete stage.

I can see perfectly fine, I know there are still panels that need to be put up. But many other threads before have been moved to the completed section even before this one.

Have any tenants moved in?

Aleks, I was just goofing around - I agree with you 100%. This building should have been in the completed section months ago. But I think people like posting pictures of it, and nobody looks at pictures in the completed section. Ergo, it stays in the construction section.

BofA itself has been in the building. However the building itself is not complete. I am monitoring the situation and have no problem with the thread remaining where it is until all outward appearances are complete.

In those close-up shots on the previous page, you can see the spire literally sitting on top of that massive concrete core.
