^Great photos. Designing a water-tight seal at the jagged corner seams is what nightmares are made of. Bravo to the engineers. I don't blame them for the delays!

That green glass is gorgeous. This is going to be one of the top 10 buildings in Chicago for me once finished.

OH MY GOD SkyscraperJunkie, what a way to join the forum. Those are sensational pictures - I love how the reflection of the tower further accentuates the building's shape. I knew this tower was going to be magnificent, but it has somehow topped my expectations ... and it's not even done!

^ it's probably more miscuts than broken panes. That and pieces that might just not have shipped or they lost a pallet somewhere and just need to find it.

The variation in color looks just like the renderings suggested. Really happy with how this is turning out.

We are so spoiled to have a building this beautiful going up and it'll still probably only be my fifth favorite supertall in the city... Well, fourth after they bastardize the Aon Center with their amusement park rides and glass elevator shafts

^^^The frustrum shape is going to be exaggerated by the reflections in the corners, cool.

Fine observation Louis and the summer sunsets(pink skies) will reflect beautifully with the stunning glass!

I bet Vista will look far more stunning than most of us anticipate. It's hard to visualize the final product when only so few windows have been installed. Even if we consider just the small portion with windows, it's already looking much better than any of the renderings.

Drove by tonight on McClurg and stopped to inspect a bit. It was tough to see during the dark but assuming the last two frustums are equal in height it looks like we still have one complete frustum to go. If that's correct then this still has quite a bit of height left.

Coming in from north LSD, Vista appears taller than Trump Tower’s roof, which it isn’t quite yet, but I’m thinking it’s because Vista so thin. It already soars and has another frustum to go!

In looking at the webcam, I'm liking the way the snow sits on the window ledges where the floorplates are shrinking. Adds some extra accentuation to an already stunning building!
