It's a building not a boat, I don't know why anyone is concerned about the netting...

Agreed with everyone though. If 1000M and this tower's adjacent lot also get their 800+ foot towers, the south end will be fast approaching LSE levels of height

less concerned, more curious! of course its to prevent debris from falling but it's in such a unique position

There definitely were a couple of people that sounded legitimately worried haha

No, gandalf is not an alternate account of mine for those wondering(I would like excuses to post more pictures though)

This view is worth daily posts though

is there any chatter or news on the 9,500 SF of retail space that this building will have? It's supposedly spread across two floors.

Now that I'm seeing it mostly finished up, I'm glad the top is enclosed. I was really into the "cube" at the top, but it feels complete with the cladding, and it enables it to have a kind of infinite ascension thing happening (which the open top would have disabled). Not to mention that the cube would probably have started to look hokey after the initial novelty wore off.

I like the diaphanous shadow that Vista is casting on the Aon tower in that last shot.
