I visit the NY thread every so often to drool at the projects going up. The last time I checked this specific building, it was barely above-grade. I feel like that wasn't that long ago, so this beast is rising quickly.
The last time I visited NYC, the Chrysler building still poked out of the skyline. Nowadays it barely registers. Amazing.

The pace at which this building is being constructed is astounding. Truly impressive.
Thanks for all of the great updates.
It's a treat watching this one go up, quickly and pretty much as expected.

The glass/terra cotta combo is really striking as it comes into view from 30 Rock. Black and white stripes from afar. Totally unique for the skyline. I know I've gone on and on about the facade, but it's well-deserved.
I am still extremely confused about how this is being constructed. In that last shot there is no core to be seen, and you can basically see daylight through the entire interior?

Not all buildings are built with a concrete core that rises first. The entire structure is steel and so is the core, at first. They place the beams in the middle and then over time they will put rebar around it then pour concrete making the core very strong. They did the same thing with One WTC. Here's a photo of what I'm talking about, you can see concrete on the lower levels
