T-Mac, awesome pics for the thousandth time. This project is so incredibly large and complex, and you manage to keep us posted from almost every viewpoint. Thank you!
A couple of things I don't get about this project, if anyone else knows, or wants to take a guess:
How long do they leave those yellow metal braces up between the concrete floors and ceilings? Is is still a field of yellow braces on the long-completed parts of the parking garage and basement on the Crossroads block?
Are they using an insane amount of rebar in the core of Tower 1? It seems to me like they are using twice what Tower 6 and 7 are getting. Would that just be because of the differences in height, and the additional structural load Tower 1 has to carry? Is this typical?
