Thanks for the shots Cal. In a couple weeks we should see some curtainwall installed on the bulk of the tower.

There were changes made to the project. Maybe the article is referring to specs from before the increase? They don’t actually look at a picture and count floors then write an article. They read some spec sheet and go from there. That may be why they always seem to get their facts wrong. They are usually out dated specs by the time it reaches the editors desktop.

it was originally set at 3 floors, but that was over 2 years ago, and this project was at something like 252m at the time. they got the 78 floors correct though, and that was only announced a couple of months ago.
