In the above render, looks like the lantern is lit and extended to the base of the cooling tower. They could be waiting for more translucent cladding. The led lighting in previous photos were attached on the exterior of the cladding. This seems to be the reason for the delay.

you know that actually makes perfect sense & is suggested by the renders. Thinking it would look pretty stupid to have glass go half way up the darker section of cladding of the cooling tower then switch to what's on the lantern.
Come on guys finish the damn spine! And get the God damn blue tape off already. What the hell is the point of it anyway? Who the hell puts tape on a building? What to keep it clean during construction? It's driving me insane.
Not sure if the blue protective wrap has been addressed, but it's not coming off as easy as had been hoped. Just a little headache, nothing major.
It look like they were removing the blue Saran Wrap today on the eastside of the buildings vertical stainless steel awning. Question; why didn't they remove it before installing it, instead of hanging off the side of the building to do it.

I assume that's to keep the pieces from getting scratched up while being moved into place. I can't imagine any other possible reason, although I question how much real protection is given by a thin layer of plastic.

That is correct. Protecting the product is the installers responsibility during construction.

Now budgeted at $1.5 billion, the tower carried an initial price tag of $1.2 billion in January 2014. The overall cost of the Comcast project has slowly climbed over the years as various changes have been made, such as adding an additional floor.
Does this change the height at all, or is it already factored in?
Based on TK2001's pictures it looks like the crane cab has been lowered quite a bit in preparation for its removal. Are those tower mast sections on the west side of the top roof?
A climbing crane can both raise and lower itself, but that process is time consuming. Since they have set up parts of a separate derrick on the roof I wonder when that will come into play? I'm also curious as to where this derrick will be able to lower the crane pieces to; it's arm doesn't look longer enough to reach out beyond the edge of lower section of the building.
