Yep, just as I thought, the steel will be catching up with the core in no time! Nice progress, wow!

Steel is at street level, LaSalle is a bridge at this point.

I wonder how they get the raker beams out of there after the floors are done. Do they come apart? Or do they cut them?

Wow, man, steel goes up fast. This one will be entertaining to watch. I demand you people make frequent updates!

In a previous post, it said they would be disassembled.

Trucks queuing up

The pick truck, 8270. Very famous truck.

You mean there is only 1 ? If so it really stands out, I seem to see it every day.

The company painted it last year in support of the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast walk.

I think Prarie only has 2 Pink trucks in Chicago. One is in the suburbs though

Steel out of the ground already? This is going to take off like a rocket.

It's fun to see a huge steel skyscraper go up. Ever since I joined the forums it just seems like concrete structures. (b/c of that condo boom)

I am thinking this is going to be a grand slam building, but I'm holding off judgement until I see that glass on the building.

Great pics! And it's nice to see some steel!

^ Second that!

SolarWind, your photos this time reminded me of how excited I was when the Sterling was rising... I used to frequent this location to check out how they were going to detail the garage and Carroll Avenue side...

It's just amazing how far we've come. Today if the Sterling were announced, most of us on this board would probably say, "Yawn, another concrete SCB 50-story?"
