Agree. The footprint seems a lot larger now that it's u/c.

This is such an incredible shot..... Only because you can see both the footprint of the new tower, and the footprint of where the Spire hole was. I'm not a big foundation guy, but this project has been so cool to watch the transformation from the old multi-year hole in the ground, to what we are seeing now.

Does anyone know how to post pictures here?

skyscraperpage.com does not host pictures - you have to host them elsewhere and link them via url.

See this post for more detailed instructions https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...30&postcount=1

I use imgur.com - as do several others. You can see where an image is linked from by right clicking on it in the forum and 'copy image link' and then pasting the results somewhere.

What's the white circular tube on the north side of the core? Cement pump, or is it a support?

This is a concrete lift (concrete placing boom), that grows upwards with the building.

Will the long built and unused exit ramp off of DLSD be for public assess to N. Water St, or only be for residents of the towers? I can only assume that the resident NIMBYs living nearby will not be happy about their current quiet dead end becoming a trafficked through street.

Did you just say "quiet" dead end street? hehe. Not quite quiet.

Well, certainly not anymore with all the construction going on
