People bemoaning the fact that it's time to move in - hopefully the facilities are nice at least (FYI, BofA's investment bank is currently at 9 W. 57th, a much nicer location).

We now subscribe to CTUBH standards for what constitutes official heights. All supertall New York projects whether under construction or proposed will now be in this section.

Seriously, thank you! I have been wondering for god knows how long, why this thread wasn't in the supertalls section.

Fabb, your pics are amazing, my turn to be jealous, I've been going to NY each April since 3 years and the BofA is my favorite project. Except since September when I found this forum and subscribed to this thread, I had no news so I was checking myself the construction site to see its evolution each time I was in NY.

After seeing here Carlos pics, which are really fantastic too, I was thinking OK this year, the building is almost completed I will take nice photo too! unfortunately, they're not, I'm not satisfied of them, but yours are great same level that the Carlos' ones, you did a very good job
Mines, definitely don't worth to be posted!!...

That's what I did in the mid-90s, before this forum existed. What took you so long to join our community ? During all these years, your contribution would have been appreciated.

One more photo taken last week :

The first one emphasizes the spire, but I prefer the second one.
