All we need now is to fill the gap between the rest of the loop and get some even taller buildings yet! Even though it will happen in the future, it's still fun to foresight!

It's starting to get cleaned up. How long do the skips usually stay up after top out? The freight elevators are likely running by now. Can the skips hold more weight / larger cargo than the freight elevators, or are they redundant now?

^Great shot. It really looks nice from that vantage. Looks like the crown is finally done.

I was in my car stuck in traffic in Roosevelt with my sunroof open and couldn't resist taking my phone and snapping a picture!

I think someone asked this earlier, but does anyone know if the crown is going to illuminate.
