Bonus, I made a 3d model of this tower, the structure is 100% accurate.

^ tk for the tko -- you da man -- thank you!
so the crown is three sections and will probably take a bit longer than i thought. i was hoping to be able to check out a massive, impressive crown up close on a flatbed truck before they hauled it up there, oh well. although the pieces of it should be interesting. |

In the 2nd photo I see 9 levels in the spire. Are they true floors?

Such were the words that ran thru my head as I began to imagine what if the crane/scaffolding assembly connected to 111 right now were part of a multi-skyway/ob tower feature that got value engineered early in the process. Semi-Relevant: As much as it doesn't bother me one way or the other, IMO Smith/Gill's biggest mistake with Nordie's was a lack of forward thinking in spire design. I mean...Imagine what you see constructurally on 111 right now architecturally extrapolated to an already 1,550' silver monolith. |
nice views of the setbacks at a distance.

Looks like the tower crane is not going up straight in that last picture : I guess it's an illusion created by the setbacks...
