Gensler has some really nice ones at their offices! I think one of the East Ave/Rainey towers also had a really nice model.

Nice snap, corvairkeith. Looks like we’re about 1/3 of the way done with this one.

But still just barely oozing along like refrigerated honey from a squeeze bear bottle, but it appears to be moving along faster than the Great Wall of China which took more than 2000 years to complete, so we are at least a little ahead of that albeit on a slightly smaller scale.

Must suck to be the crane operators having have to climb all those steps for so long for no reason. They could have given them a break with at least three crane lifts during this marathon construction.

This building seems to be taking forever. Am I wrong?

I'm betting Block 185 will be almost topped out before this one is.

My wife and I joke about this whenever we drive by it. I am assuming every floor plate being a different funky shape is a cause of slowness.

I did not notice the object when viewing the building nor when posting (I’ve been uploading and on SSP via mobile today).

Here’s a larger image size for a better look:

Creepy! Lol

Maybe that's why it's taking so long? It has to crawl up and down the narrow stairways to get to different levels.

At night it creeps around the construction site looking for dinner...

The power lines in our city are out of control. I have lived in multiple large cities and the power lines here are very noticeable comparatively. Such an eyesore but a necessity I guess.
