I thought I saw steel cross-bracing being constructed in the atrium/restaurant/bar section of this build. Can anyone confirm?

Concrete pour pretty much completed for terrace level.

is it just me or are there more than 15 floors in the hotel section? Is that count supposed to include the top floor, which appears to have a much higher ceiling that the others?

I think I missed a memo

The higher ceiling top floor is the restaurant.

Aaaannnnd, now it's back up.

And the crane seems to be loading stuff on or off the roof--after 6 PM, no less--so I guess THAT'S good.

Nice update: It appears that the top floor is higher than the nearby Comcast Center.

Anyhow, my interests have shifted over the past year.
I am more interested in Philadelphia than New York and the Comcast Innovation & Technology Center is leading the way!

It's not higher. But the top of the cooling tower will be. And of course the spire.

I think he/she meant the top of the highest floor of CTC is higher than the top of the highest floor of Comcast Center, which appears to be true.

This is correct

this looks like a reasonably big, thing, being hoisted currently:

thats the cage that carries men from the ground level.

Jawnadelphia · #**5717** Posted **Mar 24, 2017, 2:01 PM**

Onward and upward.

no, isn't that what is shown in that pic? The yellow steel "cage" that they use to hoist workers to areas not served by construction lifts.

Highest floor of Comcast Center, rather than the top of that building? Maybe. In any case, this one is trucking along and looking good.
