Pretty sure there are going to be (at least) two tower cranes. I think someone mentioned that further up this thread, and when I drove by yesterday (down 19th Street), it looked to me as if there were two separate tower cranes being erected (one on or adjacent to the core, and another nearby on the ground). Which would make sense for a project of this size, and given the need to be constructing the core while the attached steel structure is also being erected, and taking into account that this core will be near one side of the tower and not near the center.
Granted that I was driving during morning rush hour, and couldn't slow down or stop to take a good, long look. But that's what it looked like to me as a I drove by.
