Come on guys finish the damn spine! And get the — blue tape off already. What the hell is the point of it anyway? Who the hell puts tape on a building? What to keep it clean during construction? It's driving me insane.

Well the worries that this wouldn't actually feel like the tallest in the city seem totally unfounded. From most angles this dominates the skyline.

I totally agree. I was concerned it would appear to be a shorter tower with just a really high spire but it looks truly heads and shoulders above the Comcast Center from almost every angle.

Not sure what it has to do, but I did see it lifting something this morning so it's still being used.

The spine still isn't done. Once it's done the crane will be removed.

This building literally shines in the sunlight when blue tape isn't there. Can't wait for them to finally take it off in the coming weeks

LED displays on the ceiling of the lobby are running - they were playing famous quotes on a loop - white font, black screen (I'm sure there will be a lot of colors/features in the future).

Also annoying is that the last part of the spine is not completed. It's been at the same stage for a week or more.

There was a time that everyone on here was complaining/worried about how long it was taking for the crane to go up. It will happen. Then we can all turn to being impatient about the announcement of the third tower.
