Lots of glass being put up!

*gasp*

Thank you.

Can't wait to see more facade. This thing is growing like a weed now.

I hope once they take the backing off of the glass, it is close to the silvery gray/blue color of the renderings. It looks very classy and Chicago has plenty of blue glass in recent construction.

That's not really the true facade yet, but it's a good start.
It's the darker colored glass just above the lobby in this render.

Gorgeous! I can't wait for more!

This building is going to be so slick and classy, like a 1920's mobster... There's reference for you!

Solar is a hard act to follow but I'll try.

The lifters

to keep from dragging this unit across the ones below they have inserted boards.

Taking it up slowly

Now they grab a passing carpenter (?) to help push. The units needed to be manuvered so the top one could be pulled off without hitting the crane tower or dragging on the ones below.

Lifting and hanging

All done

I was thinking the same thing.

Harry, in your series of pictures of the workers hanging the glass panels, how long did it take for them to do that? Just curious about how fast they can get the facade up. Thanks.
