I had the same thought, especially since the tower looks blue in the background of the renderings put together for that corner building at Lakeshore East. Granted, that might have been done to minimize the distraction, as the Vista tower was not the focal point of those renderings, but still, it did spark some curiosity.

That crane is going be jumping any day now. It feels like it's moving slower but I think that's just because it's getting huge and each additional floor is getting lost in the sheer size of it all. Also looks like they are framing the first full floor above the catilever box on the Wacker side. Should be the first floor of the regular three tier shaft. Should also be the first floor of reversal in the frustrum pattern. Things are just now getting interesting.

^Did they not jump it this past weekend? On the webcam you can see they placed the self climbing shoe, but the crane is not visible in the frame... anyone on that side of town see if they jumped it?

This is one of the few projects I think will looks way better in real life than rendered, and I'm so excited to see it rise. Love it.

I think all the rebar is for an indoor pool on the east side. That looks like the last level for the east side so once the pool is enclosed construction should speed up quite a bit.

They continue on until the last tourist refuse to pay. I've seen boat tours done with fewer than 10 customers on board.

I did one of these as a tourist in 2014 and it's very interesting. A good way to navigate through the Loop.
