Looks like the blue netting has gotten back up to the level of the highest steel. So, we are at something like 1170'? putting us 200' from topping out?

When will they finally begin with the base?

The Tower is currently on the 90th floor and has been since early December so the height is 1,130' 8" to floor 90 and almost 1,140' with the splices. The top or 105th floor will be 1,334' 8" and the parapet goes up to 1,368'.

I'm with you NewYorker2009 this is ridiculous they should be an urgency to get this freaking project done on a timely matter, it has been over a month since any vertical steel has gone up...

Great Pics Carlos....yes they have all been basically the same with the beautiful different color sunsets making your pics different, and besides glass going up ....LETS SEE SOME VERTICAL STEEL!!!!!

Love the daily updates Carlos, thank you for them. Oh and yes I cannot wait for more steel, looking great from my end of the woods the Rockaways.

How high is the glass now, about 880 feet?

Amen Brother. As i've explained a few times already,mechanical floors take longer. I won't repeat why again,as it's getting repetitive. It's a good thing that the construction pace doesn't go as fast as the people who complain seem to think it should. When people start to get rammy,people get hurt and even killed. I'm sorry but it's not worth someone getting killed for ANY building. I've been in this racket long enough to see the results of impatience. Keep you knickers on people,the building will top out. Maybe not when you'd like it to,but it will get there.

The glass is now at floor 70 from what I've seen on the Earthcam and the fantastic shots Carlos posted, so it's at 853' 4". The 72nd floor will bring the glass up to 880', which is the perfect octagon floor so the glass is almost Beekman Tower's height.

Thank you Carlos and NewYorker2009 or your help intel! I am happy to know the official progress! Also good to see the netting reach the VERY top! This means that they should be more than ready for more steel come the proper time...

This is so ridiculous, steel should be going up today, if not..and please no one tell me it's just a matter of patience, a month is a little over top and theres been many perfect opportunities

DCM is having some financial problems, if things don't get better in a relative short time, it will sure get out of the game and the PA will hire another construction manager. Besides, decking hasn't even put into place... don't expect any steel erection in the next two weeks.

I hope it's not two weeks...throughout this whole forum people are making these assumptions that never happen, like right after the last jump, people said that it'll be two weeks but look where we are now. Also, why does everyone keep saying a different current height right now? It's always 1,130ft, 1,140, 1,145, 1,138...

The steel workers are off for the weekend. No new steel at all.
