Looks like about 1 1/2 floors a week at this point.

Walked by this last night, and from the street, it seems already taller than I expected, and really massive.

The W is now visible from One Liberty Observation Deck.

At this rate, they're sure to meet their January 2015 completion date!

September 1st:

My advantage is height is slowly waning:

How long do you think it'll be before they start installing the glass?

Can't wait for this to stop hiding among the trees and be viable all around. It's really going surprise a lot of people who don't walk by that corner often (obviously not on this board). It's a great addition to the skyline and, just as importantly, the streetscape.

When is the cladding expected to go on?

thisisforreal · #**2456** Posted **Sep 7, 2017, 12:10 PM**

Two weeks from the final time the question gets asked.

You crack me up. I used this exact strategy when my girlfriend (now wife) would ask me about getting engaged.

Jokes aside, is this building starting to approach level with your office?

And chance you'll be moving up in the world? This time "up" really means up.
Thanks for the photos; more action shots please, men at work, that sort of thing, and lots of photos of the cladding!

No moving up for me - these photos are taken from the top floor of the Land Title Building. I'm almost eye level with the crane operator, so this building should pass me up middle of next month.

Here's some photos of its current height relative to its neighbors:

EDIT:
Whoa, Google Photos is getting more impressive everyday. Here's an auto-panoramic it made after detecting the two photos had overlapping elements:
