I don't recall if a hotel brand has been announced. If not any rumours or hints????

Yes! It'll be a 1 Hotel. It's a luxury brand with a slight eco bend to it.

What's taking so long to put the final beams up

[gillynova]

I was gone for 15 days in Asia and I was thinking the beams would finally be up

[BrBlu]

I literally came on here just now to ask where u had been
We’ve been so photo deprived and I’m too lazy to go do it myself

[ahealy]

Anyone know if they're planning on adding non-structural columns to the south facing crown?? Or is it going to be the " V I " ??

The bridge area to the front doors was looking super cool this morning but I couldn’t take a pic if anyone else has a chance

There's a guy I follow on LinkedIn. He's the main crane operator for The Waterline. Check out some of his photos.

Oh cool! Ty for sharing. It's interesting, he mentions a "pool" installed on the 73rd floor....guessing that's a sway damping system?

Any updates on this? If the iron workers are there they must be working on the roof.

Yes the roof beams started going up last week.

Saw a pic on Facebook last night. They are!!!! Finally

Is it an optical illusion or is the roof line slightly curved/flat at the lowest point?

I doesn't quite look like a straight angle now that we're getting the metal beams in

If you mean the right end looks like it goes down a little bit, I see it too. But it's an optical illusion. I took a screen shot and enlarged it, then held a ruler up to it and it's straight. I think it's the way the sunlight is reflecting unevenly for whatever reason (at least in the photo).

Does anyone have access to or has tried to submit proof that Waterline is 1034' and 73 stories tall to the CTBUH.org? They've got this listed as 1021' and 74 stories. But, it also does state that the numbers may change as the final determination by CTBUH has not been completed due to the building being U/C.
