This building is beautiful. Structure, glass, and everything.

I feel comfortable saying now that I would have preferred if the slab portion that borders the river was more pronounced.

They are 2 feet tall and about 80 feet long. No LIE. Then they will set the next ones on Monday or Tuesday I believe. Someone needs a picture of this.
Looking at the Trump Cam I can see lots of daily progress.

Yeah maybe it is not going up a floor every 7 days but I am amazed at the complexity of the lattice work on the transfer floor. And it seems they have the cladding on a new floor every 4 or 5 days or so. That's some good progress too.

At least that's something to look at!

This has been a blast to follow with everyone's input and the pictures along with Trump Cam. What a great website!

Anyone have an idea when they plan on sheathing the exposed support columns in stainless steel? Is that going to be a finishing touch completed only after the building is topped out?

I haven't been paying attention for a while. When is the next development when they can start going faster like a floor or 2 per week?

They have just started on a transfer floor which I understand, from actually reading the thread, will take the better part of two months to complete. So don't expect a lot of movement upward until summer.

I'm sure they'll wait until nearer the end, so they don't get smacked by some piece of heavy equipment.

It looks like they're going to have to hold up on the glass soon due to the transfer floor taking awhile to do.
