NJ, south across the river from the Navy Yard?

Or from a boat? Not sure.

Wrong angle. I think it's from a boat off the Navy Yard.

Probably taken from that empty lot or pier at the end of Red Bank Ave

We can see the little white house that line up perfectly in front of the large 8 stories building accross the river...

Man was hoping for a glass fix today after seeing the new posts, (Joking asides.) I swear this construction site along with FMC and a few others are like bad drugs or something.

New glass as of 9 February:

So awesome that this is taking shape and starting to look like an actual building with the additions of the glass. Can't wait for glass to start to climb on the 18th street side!

Just when you thought your job was a "pain", these guys have to endure many "panes".

Yikes. Pane by pane. I would have thought they'd be delivered in grouped sets.

Mmmm. Curtain wall porn.

Here's a nice example of the effect those fins can give.

That building looks a lot like Cira 1. Same architect?

Is that glass on CITC blue? Because it looks blue.

It's black. That's the sky reflecting off of it.

Good question. I don't know for sure. When I talk to my friend who took the photo(s). I'll ask him. It does appear blue. But when you look at the details in the reflective glass, you start to wonder. It looks like the panes are blue because of the blue sky. If you look at the one photo, you can see the edge of a building, and the pane looks dark gray. Even that SeaGull flying by changes its color. I'll find out for sure tonight, unless someone else confirms.

It is Black? Really? I thought it looked dark gray.

Your post 'reflects' your point!

If you ever seen Liberty 1 or 2 on cloudy days, partly sunny days, or sunny days-the angle of light from the sun or sunset or no sun, the glass on these buildings have so many different shades of blue.

So CITC will look like it's black or grey and variations between depending on how much light is reflecting off of the panes at any given time during the day. And, the renderings show both black and grey glass curtains, so go figure.
