From the ground up, the tower will have 101 floors, but from upper Wacker, the count it 96 I believe.

All good signs that this is totally on track

BTW thanks BVictor1 and harryc for all the updates. Not being there I really appreciate it.

This will be quite visible down Fulton Market from the West Loop:

Vista Webcam:

The webcam is shortly reaching the point where all you will see is the finished concrete work on the south side of the building and none of the new upward construction. Is there any news of adjusting the webcam to see the new construction taking place? Thank you.

It's insane to think this thing is still just a baby. Same pictures a year from now please?

Biggest portion looks to be about 25 floors off the ground level now - so just barely over 1/4 of the way to being topped out

Lovely frustrums

I hope Trump is pissed that this building has a higher roof height than his Trump International Hotel & Tower.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't give two shits about that.

Sometimes I wonder about this place...

tdawg · #**2977** Posted **Dec 27, 2017, 8:27 PM**

^^^ uh, you'd be surprised. He did comment that his 40 Wall Street was "now" the tallest building in Lower Manhattan on 9/11/01.

Patiently waiting for the first glass to appear.

I guarantee you he knows about Vista and cares to some extent that a building that's more luxury than his, barely taller (not counting the spire), and being built by someone richer than him from another country is building this thing within view of his building.
