How are they going to be attaching the fins from the rendering onto the top of the building? Have they already been hoisted onto the roof?

Damn, this thing just raced to the top. The impact it makes on the skyline because of its location is great too.

djvandrake · #**1869** Posted **Sep 9, 2008, 5:31 PM**

^^^ My thoughts exactly. This one seemed to go up so fast and it's just a beauty.

Thanks for the pics everyone! Mucho appreciated.

Thanks, as always, for the picture, SolarWind. Is that Silver Tower rising in the background?

even while coming down, and unable to rotate, the crane is still in use.

harry, that last picture is stellar. Excellent reflectiveness, and notice the shadow of the indent on the side, guys. LOVE IT.
