Excellent. Keep up the good work!

Workers and activity at the site today.

Excellent! What a huge transformation our skyline is undergoing. If only the MoMA tower was the original 1250' height...but still, wow. Let's hope this is not another plain box.


This 1550' tower...

The circular slab is the center of the helix; steel will be installed around it like pie pieces, then steel will fill the middle. It's not open on top, the church essentially sits on top of the...

Raise a glass for Levon Helm.

Liamnwk one more crime post and you will be banned.

Near the top of that^ photo you can see they poured half of the concrete slab forming the west end of the oculus. Just beyond that arc is the top of the grand staircase which descends beneath the...

Clear glass going up on the southwest corner facing Greenwich St., first floor.

According to a PA source it's height now is 1244' at the top of the new steel.

ESB is 1250'.

The new crane will move back and forth on a track inside the oculus at the current 274 level, replacing the two that are there now.

The connecting plates at the top of the new steel is the 100th floor.

..which means they will start transferring the loads of the subway box and PATH Hall roof by the end of the month; removing shoring towers, transferring the loads to the supercolumns and the...

Wow is right, great news, but I wish it were more iconic than just a tall box.

Unfortunately no. I'll try next time.

I've grown to dislike the new stadium. Obviously I don't have the luxury seats, I'm sure those people are thrilled. I'm up in the upper deck where I've been for 27 years. It now takes three...

As bad as we need an estuarium?

I mean, the word sounds cool and all, but aquatic education center? I just wish I knew what exactly that will be, and is it worth it.

In the mean time I wonder...

So do we know what that^ is? The restaurant or boathouse?

Good to read that, I was hoping this one would revive and that the design remains.

New steel going up today, nice, that seemed like a little faster turnaround, no?

I had the pleasure of visiting several floors of the tower today, up to the 88th right beneath the cranes....

Those are the first of the lower portals, so now we get to watch the oculus take shape.

Swings for adults, by all means! But yeah, under not on top, terrible idea.

They had to angle the stair ramp because they are doing work removing and reinforcing the slurry wall there. That's where they are constructing the connection to the NRW from the Transit Hall.

^Shows how the park will be on the roof of the VSC, and the ped bridge will terminate on the roof. They are getting ready to construct the piece of the bridge that will extend onto the roof.

If I was at that meeting I would have been in agreement with the public. That said I actually think the twins' show, which i've seen them do in many locations around the city, does sort of take over...

The new pier is fantastic. Nice that so much of it accessible - no playground, ball court, excessive plantings - with lots of seating, spectacular views, tall ships right there, and it's even better...
