Not for another 6 months I guess.
I wouldn't be surprised if the pace of the construction decreased dramatically at the approach of the hole.

^ I was thinking in terms of taking pics from the Jin. Is this as high as we can go in the bldg. so we can see inside from above?

Oups.
I misread your post.
Yours makes more sense than mine.

SOM NYC hasn't made a major building since the original Lever Bldg.

Well unfortunately for the NYC skyline they did design the FT and TWC and those are pretty big projects that IMO turned out to be vastly underwhelming.

How could you keep the same name while the quality is so different??

Aug. 18th panorama. Just keep scrolling to the right. Looks like 5 pics put together. The Jin has a little lean to it, but it doesn't look bad:

Nice, even the glass cladding is already beginning to wedge.

Nice progress on the WFC. I only wish this tower wasn't so close to the Jin Mao.
