Never caught a super tall on the day of construction. Great experience

Per this article McHugh said that foundation work will go from Aug 16 - April 17. If they stay on the same timeline just slid back a month then they'll be done w/ foundation work in May 17.

Don't know if Case will be there the whole time though, maybe someone else can answer that better.

I was going to bust out the Nanner party (sort of the Nanner version of the Village People having a big party) but the last time I did that was when Waterview Tower broke ground. And we all know how that turned out. Not that I'm superstitious or anything....

They are bringing in another big crawler now, bet the big crane mount rig will make an appearance after all...

We must celebrate carefully.

The Spire sucked the life out of me way back when. It's the reason I don't get so invested in supertalls in America anymore.

^ understandable, but as mentioned a few pages back, totally different situation here.

That being said, wowzers, this is really happening!

2PRUROCKS! · #**1714** Posted **Sep 23, 2016, 1:05 AM**

Great news! I believe by roof height this would be the 2nd tallest in Chicago, at 1186ft compared to 1171ft for Trump.

Sweet!!!! Glad I checked in today (tonight) and didn't miss the party by much.

(I'll use the awesome banana, a guy from Shenzhen asked me to define awesome yesterday)

^ awesome shots, solar! thanks for posting, as always.

what a great moment in time to photo-document; the birth of a supetall.

Still getting stuff set up, 2 upright rigs doing the small stuff around the periphery, putting together a larger (Manitowac 999) rig for the big stuff.

Drill baby Drill

changing drill bits

gotta have just the right size re-bar.

Some assembly required.

LouisVanDerWright · #**1720** Posted **Sep 23, 2016, 9:00 PM**

Nice, I thought it looked like a bigger one. Guess those 20' cages won't be light, makes sense. Gonna be a good show.
