Looks like Tommy Bahama will take part of the retail space. Not sure if it will have a restaurant attached or not.

Great fit for a building trying to sell Ritz Carlton-branded residences. Not.

Real vs Fake. Love it. I really hope this building stays as vacant as possible. If we have to be punished by looking at this thing, Ritz Carlton/Prism Development Co should suffer too.

Consolation is that the dominant view of the Ritz as seen from ground level is of the Farwell Building, just don't look up. I'll reserve judgement until finished, but what's happening on the crown already scares me, IMO.^

soooo, that would be T/O it seems?

It would appear that it has indeed reached its final height.

It's hard to tell if the flying buttresses on the east side of the crown are there or not from the pictures. From the guys on the street, did they make it to the final product, or were they value engineered out like 55 Erie?

It is very hard to tell, but they are there (on the east face, at least).
