I think as the forms raise this should be taller than the jfk bldg next to it soon I believe.

Looks like more steel was dropped off today. We might have a nice cage going by this time next week.

Those floor plans are for different levels. There's 4 elevators in the basement, 3 in the office floors, and 2 in the hotel levels.

^lol and I thought it was already tall.

Great shot.

So the Sterling is 275ft, and the Kennedy House is 300ft, so the CITC core is pretty close to those two now.

Another 100 feet or so and the core will really begin to take effect.

Really good point.

whoa this is really coming along now - i'll have to check it out.

On a side note. Looking at where the top of the core is now, I'm not sure pool use at The Sterling will be desirable. Especially by bikini clad women. Would be quit a view for the construction guys at the top. Of course I'm sure they would be perfect gentlemen.

That's tongue in cheek, I'm sure. But trust me, that stops no one. I've seen several couples doing the wonderfully dirty business in the rooftop pool of several of the residences/hotels in mid-afternoon.

As a result of this, many people in nearby skyscrapers have binoculars in their offices.

From the PNC Bank building yesterday.

Since the office section of the building is supposed to have 39 floors it looks like they're about a third of the way until the hotel part of the core starts. If they do a floor per week they should be up to the hotel section by March.

You would love Miami then because actual "films" are made there. Usually involving a bus business created by some brothers, a miami condo, a roof/balcony, and hot colombians.

But if it helps you get through the work day Londonee, then I back you up in your visual adventures.

^^That shot is the Perfect location to capture ALL of the high rises that are taller than City Hall. Liberty 1 is usually blocked, or Three Logan(Verizon) is blocked from the other direction. If you can visually focus on CITC being completed, it will not block any of the Philly "super" Talls.

Did I say this photo is absolutely AMAZING?

Not to mention that if you pulled out to a bit wider view, you'd have Evo and FMC on the right.

That's funny, You must have been reading my mind! A nice panoramic shot that would make. (hint, hint)
