I wonder if the source was referring to the plant making the glass... now those guys could potentially work shifts 24/7 to make the glass panels, then just install on site as much as possible to not get shut down by the city. Will be interesting to see, no doubt.

Highly doubtful whether extra time will be added to the work day for the various reasons already stated, but this is a big building and certainly could handle a number of installing crews. I've got no idea what it takes to put such crews together and what the logistics are in us say doubling the number of crews, issues like crane time for hoisting the units onto the correct floors for staging, etc. Even just off loading trucks at the site can be a task that has to be well planed and scheduled. These somewhat hidden details of high rise construction are fascinating.

I'm not in the space but a good friend of mine is and the amount of minute details are incredible. It takes an army for almost every trade.

But I cant imagine a new investor like Triple Five would accept Wanda as the hotel operator when they have no track record in the US and barely even a track record in Asia.

Your first picture there, Solar.... wow that has to be one of my new favorite views of this building, and that is low key one of the best canyons in the city now(and it'll keep getting better as the city expands westward!)

Amazing update!

There are some great vantage points of Vista now from Halsted, just North of Division. Super cool to see it from different neighborhoods.

Glass is full go October 1st.

Credit to the forumers, 24/7 is not doable due to noise constraints but it's safe to expect 10 hour days on the weekdays and 8 on weekends.

one of you photographers has got to capture the entire building from due south at sunrise... saw it driving this AM and the undulating shadows are pretty interesting... probably more so now then after the window wall is installed...

Nick Uliveri is sitting on his photoshopped images of a full-height, glass-less Vista, probably bemoaning the fact that this project got SO CLOSE to his vision.

Agreed, and OSC will be a nice peak between 401 N. Wabash and Sears.

Does anyone know who bought the building? I heard the Chinese sold it to Canadians to make Trump angry.
