I was thinking that those must be your windows. Be aware of lurkers with long zoom lenses.

Does the Prince hold lavish parties upstairs?

Photo from yesterday. The curve over the top of the crown is taking shape. What I wonder is what they are going to do about exterior window washing. Hopefully they will not install a huge contraption up there like they did on Shangri-La (circled).

Maybe the window washers are going to be hanging from ropes, just like they do on Patina building.

There'll probbaly be a slit in the roof for the window washing unit to poke out -
here are pics from a documentary on the One57 condo tower in NYC for comparison:

Nice.
Yup, that would be it.

See what you can hide when you don't have rooftop penthouse condos?

Also Shangri-La's window washing crane can be hidden. They just tend to leave it up for months (maybe it takes that long to wash the windows ).
