It wouldn't be "slamming" it for him to say otherwise, and "unusual" doesn't necessarily equate with gorgeous. Whole lot of things he could have said about his building to "heap praise" on it.

this one is moving quickly it went from 12 to the 16th floor in two weeks...here's pics I took today

I chuckled at this picture. That would be me, trying to keep the site clean. An impossible job, I would imagine, at this stage. LOL

I just imagine him sweeping little bits of dust.

What's with the overhang over the building next door?

a safety net, I presume, but we'd hope the actual workers know the site well enough to not need to use it

Fucking Christ this one is rising faster than anything else in construction. Epic sauce.

NYC2ATX · #**1168** Posted **Apr 24, 2011, 12:15 AM**

Holy SHYTT it's growing like a weed! And I really love this design so I'm thrilled to see it moving so quickly

All we need now a little Tower Verre.

Great pictures. I think this building is being build faster because its more narror than 1 WTC which is a floor per week

brian.odonnell20 · #**1171** Posted **Apr 24, 2011, 2:06 PM**

so its at two floors a week?

colemonkee · #**1172** Posted **Apr 24, 2011, 7:54 PM**

I bet the addition of those slipforms on the side really helped speed things up. Now that they're out from between the confines of the adjacent buildings, they can more easily move those forms up. It also probably helps to have consistent floor plates for several floors as well. It makes sense that the first 10 or so floors took so long, with the irregular setbacks, changes to column spacing, and the confines of the adjacent buildings. Not to mention going purposefully slow as they waited for financing.

Still, 2 floors a week is unusually fast. I'd imagine it'll slow a bit from that pace when they hit the next setback, and have to build the formwork for those curves.

So far so good. Hopefully this’ll continue to rise with minimal delays.

Two floors a week is Dubai speed for construction.

Please don't quote entire posts when there are more than a few pictures, it's annoying having to scroll down more than necessary. Thanks!

Usually if I want to say something about a certain photo in the middle of a bunch that someone has posted, I'll hit the quote button and delete all the other photos (just count which one it is).
