It does.
In some pictures, however, it doesn't even look real. It's like a computer-generated picture.

Does anyone have an idea of what the height is right now or how much taller it is going to go?

The 68th floor has been started, which puts it at 652 feet with 170 feet to go until it reaches its final height of 822 feet.

From the photos, the tower looks as tall as it will top out.

look at the page one render. There are to be about 25 floors above the transfer floors, and in these most recent pictures, there are only about 13 floors completed

This tower was primarily designed by a female architec by the name of Jeanne Gang, hence the sexiness of the tower
