I think the next set of floors will put this on the skyline looking from most parts of Brooklyn.

I'm going to be away until the beginning of next week, but I think we'll have a fifth floor of glass going up by then.

I was down there yesterday and I have to say the glass is breathtaking just a few floors and you really get a sense of how this building will shine.

Another blue sky day in New York. This is ridiculous. Everyday lately, when I check the webcams all I see is blue sky like STR's renders. I live only 300 miles away and I haven't seen the sun in 2 weeks! Not Fair!

They are really moving with the glazing process. Almost the whole 23rd floor on the south in one morning!

well according to the PATH reports the tower is half way there in terms of floors. the tower right now is 52 floors high and to the roof is 104 floors high. but in terms of feet it is about 45 percent there( not including spear). cause half of 1,368 is 684. but right now the tower is about 613, so we have 71 feet left to the (feet) half way mark. I hope that answers your question, i did the best that i could.
