Seriously this has been such a well managed site so far (knock on wood), I'm absolutely astounded every time new photos go up.

What am I looking at/what are we celebrating? Transition from garage decks to lobby/tower portion?

This is just nuts how big this thing is already. Such an exciting project!

Stupid question time - do they need to be quite sure of the weather to pour concrete, or does rainfall not really affect it while it sets?

They will cover it with tarps if it rains (or snows) .

Taking a break while others try to figure out how to get the big long rods into the core.

pegs used to tie off the re-bar around the columns (places of high tension), and the post tension cable heads in the recesses.

Great pics of a beautiful project.

Stopped by the site today. Wanted to make sure I get a few photos before all floors are above the elevated grade around the site...

And a little window shopping...

Can't believe how fast this sensual tower is rising, glad it will be sort of obstructing the view of Dump Tower from some vantage points soon.

Vista will do no such thing. . . unfortunately. . .

Also, despite the Trump stamp, that tower is a damn fine piece of architecture. I wouldn't want any views of it blocked, only the removal of his tacky sign.
