As expected they are relocating the mobile crane to Georgia to get a better angle on the corner glass install.

From the most recent view of the roof it looks whatever they are applying is another protective layer for the roof and then they'll install the metal panels for the roof?

with all the smash and enter incidents in DT nowadays as well as the cost of these panels, what's the likelihood that they will have a 24/7 guard outside?

A snowblower crashed into the NYC Apple glass and they had to replace a pane. I guess they assume the people into smash and grabs aren't that dumb.

Seems like they have a trailer with some flat pieces of glass to install?

Thanks @mcminsen for your contributions! The last image looking southeast shows an impressive range of architectural shapes and styles, layered nicely and playing off each other successfully. Good to see variations in designs, colours and treatments all in one take.

It seems they're actually installing glass today. And they have a second trailer with another set of flat glass parked on Howe Street as well.

The 2 flat panes on the east side have been installed.
It looks like there's just the curved corner pane to go.

The curved pane has arrived.
Looks like it's the last to be installed
(although I don't know what's planned for that skylight - could be those 2 flat panes parked on Howe St.)

Pic by me today.

They also "added" two glass panels in those sidewalls. They weren't included in any of the renderings.

Yeah I was wondering why they were left exposed.

Looks like they are dismantling the hoardings to pour concrete on the Georgia St. side.

Hard to see exactly what they're doing but they seemed to be doing more prep work on the roof

That gray membrane still doesn't even cover the whole roof yet.
They are finishing the steps around the fromt and Georgia side.

Pic by me today.

You can see the hanger for the Apple logo.
