[QUOTE Everytime I'm reminded of the 200ft cut-off, my skyscraper heart hurts.
I know the whole story behind it, but still,l I just can't let go.
TWO HUNDRED FEET!! Too painful. Instead of a future icon, we'll get a filler. Beaufitul? Yes. Incredible? Yes. But still a filler.[/QUOTE]
I was going back thru time looking to see when this building got out of it's hole (Jan. 2016) and came across this posting. Now that the exterior is just about done and the building form and shape are here to appreciate, I wonder if anyone now would call this beauty a "filler"?
BTW, it seemed to me that this build was very fast, especially concerning it's complex design and that every floor is completely unique, but at 30 months maybe it wasn't so fast. Back in '15 and '16 as the build was starting the projected finish date was 4th quarter 2017.
Regardless, this is one fine building. Well designed and it looks well built.
