Honest question -- why is it these towers seem to be rising so much faster than One Chicago, which started earlier?

awesome pics. can't wait to watch these two massive elevator cores rise above LSD

Because of the three cranes working together do the two towers have to rise simultaneously level for level?

Since all 3 cranes are luffers, they have a lot of flexibility. I would expect that we will always see the taller one jump first and the medium one jump second. The towers should rise roughly floor for floor once the climbing cores are both built (barring unforeseen issues). The small crane is probably at it's ultimate height since it is only there for a short time to support the podium.

How cool would it be if both buildings shared the same slab for each floor. That would be so huge taking up the whole site and fun to watch.

Such a much needed gap filler from that last view. I just hope site I doesnt get a height chop.

the floor plates are already being done in sections. The mat pours were done a month or so ago.

Form work going up for the mat.

exciting to see it already rising

KWillChicago · #19 Posted **Dec 25, 2019, 10:37 AM**

My bad Harry. I meant the floor plates stretching across the whole site for the big ass podium. Am I right in thinking the floor plates are going to be even for majority of both buildings throughout the podium? Possibly the towers as well?

Ah, yeah you are right but they stagger the work they wouldn't pour an entire floor at once
