Technically it's just a congratulatory ceremony, not a topping out for anything, whether occupied height or whatever.

It has structurally topped out. Definitions from CTBUH:

"Structurally Topped Out"
A building is Structurally Topped Out when it is under construction and the highest element of the primary structural frame is in place. Architectural features such as parapets, rooftop mechanical screens, or spires may not yet be present.

"Architecturally Topped Out"
A building is Architecturally Topped Out when it is under construction, structurally topped out, fully clad, and the highest finished architectural elements are in place (e.g., including its spires, parapets, etc.).

Then it isn’t topped out.

Not sure why you're quoting me.

Again, these ceremonies don't have anything specifically to do with a "topping out" date, however you wish to define the term. They're scheduled months in advance. The ceremony is symbolic of completion, which is marked by a "topping out", but the date itself is immaterial, and intended for dignitaries and media.

I can't believe after all this time and thousands of pictures, i see nothing of the one crane coming down or recognizing the operator. That was a hell of a job you did. :

...JPMorgan is spending $3 billion to build a new global headquarters, and from 51st and Park I walked three blocks south to see the construction site. The skyscraper already has ego, full of implicit rebukes to other banking towers. It is rising in the heart of Manhattan, not on the wallflower edge of the island (like Goldman Sachs).

JPMorgan will not tenant-occupy its new building (like Bank of America) but own it in full. The avenue-deep structure will be ascendant, narrowing over five levels to 1,388 feet, looking down on the Empire State Building — a Matterhorn, the Morganhorn, with a summit fit for a mountaineer’s flag. One wonders if Jamie Dimon, the bank’s CEO for 17 years, will place his office at the peak.

...The correct view of the new JPMorgan tower is both vertical and perpendicular. From that vantage, you see the bank as both the king of the island and a citizen of the avenue, constrained by the grid.

Lord Foster..

the only Lords we have in New York is Lord & Taylor department stores. Great architect though, Yale alumni.

Lets get 175 Park & 2WTC rolling next.

This building is amazing.

Chase is looking for a new Chicago tower. I hope that they build something of this caliber in Chitown.

A few more pics from their "topping out" ceremony...

I infer that Chase isn’t moving its HQ to Dallas, Charlotte, or Miami.

Okay, so everyone here thinks it's a fake topping out. IMO it is still a somewhat significant milestone. As NewYorkYIMBY puts it, "While the skyscraper still has yet to reach its pinnacle, the ceremony marked the completion of the steel-framed superstructure up to the top of the final habitable floor."

Yeah, doesn't mean it's topped out. I don't know why you would argue such a thing. It clearly isn't. But it's ok if you want to believe it is. Perhaps you shoud enjoy another turkey sandwich.
