It does not have much presence on 10th Ave (which borders it on the west) due to the lowrise section, but once it comes into full sight it's a beast, even at its current height. Flush glass walls will only add to the effect. The outcome remains to be seen, but at least it's bound to be better than the wishy-washy half-brick version they had earlier.
At the rate it's progressing and the amount that's already done, it should certainly top out by the end of the year. I would hazard a more precise guess though.

Sounds about right. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess late September for the topping out of the last floor/main roof level.

There could be light at the end of the tunnel for the proposed 10th Avenue stop for the Number 7 train extension.
The Bloomberg administration is looking to re-engineer the project to allow a station to be built at 41st Street and 10th Avenue in the future.
A spokesman for the mayor says the idea is under preliminary review, but adds the city will not consider plans that add significant time or cost to the project. The second station is estimated to cost upwards of $500 million.
The city is already spending $2 billion to extend the 7 line from Times Square to 34th Street and 11th Avenue.
