for me the best part is seeing the "skeleton" of the tower...once the glass is up (hopefully) we will never see it again......

more columns....

I'm going to take a stab at why the curtain wall has not progressed in over a month.

I think they are letting the core rise higher first to add stability to the building. I have heard that there is/was a lot of movement of the tower because of the wind load. The higher the curtain wall goes the more force is put on the building. Allowing the core to rise first as well as leaving the upper floors open would help alleviate the issue.

Again, the is just a hypothesis but makes sense (to me anyway ).

Maybe Allan could elaborate?

Definitely the communication ring...the roof is 21 feet below the spire of the Trump Tower which is 1,389 feet. Technically it's surpassed already by roof height, 1,070 feet.

What are the chances now that the core columns are being installed to the 93 floor that the perimeter columns will extend to the 100 floor?

Topping off will be on April 2012. The installing of the telecommunications and the mast will start in May and June 2012, and be completed by December 2012.

Do you think that they will not install anymore or much more glass until the steel tops out? Or will we see a bit more glass before spring?
