The design seems to be final, as the drawings haven't changed that much over time. The more recent renderings seem to be what the building will actually look like.
Vertical construction as in above street level? Will probably be mid to late fall the way things are. Some construction is already at street level as JR Ewing stated.

You guys seem to be dying to know this, so... Top of spire seems to be set at 1775' as you all have heard multiple times. These things CAN change though, as it's clearly not anywhere near that height yet haha.
Parapet, source says around 1520'-1530'. These numbers are from early June, when the latest "new" info was in.
I also asked someone from Lendlease, and they seemed about on track with these numbers.

Be careful, there are ways to backtrack to the source.

I'll take the risk, or maybe just close my account and skedaddle...
But really, is it that bad to have the height known? That seems to be the only "secret" and it's not that big of a deal as far as I can tell. Let's not make this a big deal
