Thanks for fixing the picture. What did I forget? an "S"

Those photos are some of the best yet at helping to understand the shape of this thing, and a close up of the top. I feel like drone photography is giving us something we wouldn't have had otherwise. Look at those west facade windows on the south side of the building. There's so much to digest with this one.

From some angles one has to wonder if M.C. Escher helped to design this thing...

The first pic makes me lean to the right.

That's a LOT of balcony space for an office building!

Jason, those photos are really nice.

The Business Journal also took a construction tour of it. More eye candy:

From a friend's insta. I hadn't seen the topped out floors from the eastern side yet. Also I gotta say, I haven't seen this many non-skyscraper nerds commenting on a building since the Indy. Definitely a new icon in the making.

A little hard to make out, but it appears they've started on constructing the framing of the top of the "fin"

Thank you, Mopacs!

This tower is gonna look so good.

When the air is clear and the light is right, there's a pretty good view of it from KXAN's webcam.

There's one of those black, triangle UFOs in the sky.

This wound up less tall from South Lamar than I was expecting for some reason. I'm sure the "sail" being finished will change that considerably.

[We vs us]

Look at that! First one I’ve seen that gets the whole skyline in.

EDIT: funny how that fisheye lens makes everything look smaller and less impressive… when our skyline has never been more big-city, more imposing.
