I can't wait to get a new camera, with a proper zoom etc! Currently have the Galaxy 3, but I may just upgrade to the S4 because it'll go from 8 Megapixels to 13, and the 3 is already quite good, just bad when it comes to zooming.

The skyline will be much more impressive with 225 W 57th. I wonder what kind of texture that will add...

This week they started removing the ground floor scaffolding around the 55' podium, given the public what will become the familiar look to pedestrians.

Today, Friday, almost all of the covering on 55th Street is gone, and a lot of 8th Avenue is opening up. By early next week it should see the 54th Street covering gone, and it will be possible to see the building whole.

It's now October 2, and I've just learned that Boston Properties are having a grand opening party on the premises tomorrow, Thursday, October 3rd. All that's left to be finished is a bit of sidewalk on West 54th Street in front of a loading dock.

Latest pics! The base looks decent, though the podium isn't great - should be opening soon.

Finally the missing glass strip has been installed. Amazing tower!

It looks pretty much finished in this picture, just another piece in the skyline now.
