It's 61, and it's made enough of a difference that the only person who actually knows more about this project than the average skyscraper-junkie would has walked out of this thread.

Almost sounds like a skyscraper conspiracy. Goodbye Area 51, Hello Floor 62!

Kinda disappointed by the fire shot, thought it'd be more impressive after all this hype...lucky them there's a fire hall like 2 blocks down the street.

Apparently what was being burned in the dumpster was the master-plan for the 62nd floor. City Hall caught wind of this surprise-storey by way of this forum, but before they could get to the bottom of it, the powers that be destroyed the evidence. CSIS is investigating...

You might be the only person disappointed the building didn't spectacularly catch fire

After all the hype, I must admit I'm pretty dissapointed something spectacular didn't happen.
