Welcome to the forum, Misty2k, and excellent first post. The core should be topping out in a few months, if not sooner.

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm only on a 6 month contract at this location so I'll be interested to see how they get before I move to a new job.

I'd bet that you'll see the core top out and at least get to see some perimeter steel go up from that vantage point in 6 months.

British slogans are so cute.

Love this building, btw.

Wow, it was just back in October that the core got out of the ground. Now it's time for the difficult part, the frame construction.

I think these pics are a bit old.

Couple of Blackberry shots from Lombard Street, just near Bank, in the morning and evening - I had no idea 20 Fenchurch Street would be so prominent from here - kind of makes a nice full stop to the narrow curve of Lombard St.

and another shot from Eastcheap:

I don't know how to say it, they call it noyau auto-grimpant around here, which literally translates to self-rising core, something like that. Some kind of method they don't use over here. They don't seem to appreciate steel structures either, always building some reinforced concrete stuff.

So the French speaking forum is naively cute sometimes, like:
- why won't we get any steel structure like in London?
- when will we get a noyau auto-grimpant like in London?

What the hell?! I hope we've not become some wannabe London, though.

Not quite topped out afterall.

Here's a photo I snapped last week. It's funny to see this on the skyline being so thin and with no windows. I think I have a skyline shot I can post later.

^REALLY cool low rise building in the foreground.

Dylan Leblanc · #76 Posted: **Apr 12, 2012, 11:44 AM**

There's lots of construction in London right now.

Aleks · #77 Posted: **Apr 12, 2012, 11:47 AM**

it definitely doesn't look as tall as it really is. that's a FAT core too.

BStyles · #78 Posted: **Apr 14, 2012, 4:29 AM**

So that's what a building core would look like without all the floor plates...interesting, but it reminds me of the Ryugyong hotel before the cladding a bit too much.

Too right - it's the new building over Canon Street station - it looks just as good close up:

anyway, back to 20 Fenchurch St:
