Yeah those core columns extend to the 91st floor, which is 1,151' 8". I heard people say it was on floor 92 but the core columns do not look like they are at 1,181' 8" no way.
I have to say, I never was a fan of this building, but the taller it gets, the better it looks. I didn't expect it to look so iconic in the skyline, it's beautiful! I'm not that bummed out that the other towers have been delayed because this tower along with 4WTC really have filled out the skyline quite nicely. It's exciting to see that old view of New York again, I can't wait to see the view from the observation deck someday...

Yes and you can see the point on the columns where the beams for 91 connect and the point just above the worker on that column.

The pictures were taken from the pedestrian and bicycle pathways on the Manhattan Bridge. Of course you would get the same view from Brooklyn Bridge Park right now.

Sweet! That means this puppy still has another 215 ft to go from the current highest steel plus the 35-40 ft for the antennae ring structure. Then there's the spire...
