It's interesting, from my 3rd pic above it appears that tower has jumped from ground level slightly (pic is blurry and hard to read). However I went and walked by in person and it seems like the fencing is still higher than the tower. I don't know if that's the angle (I was on the downward slope of the hill- 7th and Figueroa) or if its an illusion or what.

That is still the ground floor. That floor is the last one that can connect to this set of columns at a point just below the top of the columns. This core jump takes us to floor 25

Nice pictures all.

So I don't fully understand why the top visible concrete floor says 21 when it looks to be at least 13 or 14 floors.

7 is really, 7,8,9,10 all rolled into one. Kinda, like San Diego in German meaning a Whales 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵.

The 7th floor actually has two floors/openings on the far side. Some numbers are considered bad luck. They are not included in some buildings like the 13th floor.

Looking closer it's missing 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 13 & 14.... thats an awful lot of bad luck. This is going to be the first 73 story building with the top floor being 168.

I believe the floors from here on out will be in order from 15-73

So does this mean truly the floor count is 68?

Lol, the floor counts on these buildings confuse the hell out of me too.

Probably should've taken these later in the day, maybe they will do a jump today

I will be down there in about an hour. I attempt to speak with a worker about the next delivery of perimeter columns and see if they started to jump to floor 26

I spoke with a crane operator and a rebar foreman at different times this afternoon. They both said Monday 12/15/14 will be the beginning of the instillation of the box columns and supporting steel. Pending no rain delays. There had been no jump as of 4:30pm today.

From the 110 which will be the best angle of WG

Awesome design......

Love the height.....

I'm guessing, that, depending on if we get a very rainy December, which we need, we could see this pass the WedBush building before the year is out.
