sw5710,
It's getting tricky with the floor count, simply because we cannot see the building in its entirety from the sidewalk level up to the current height. As the building has grown, I have to take "benchmarks" as it goes up, for example, using the 57 Street crane tie-in floors, then counting up from there. At present, I count 18 floors up from the current tie-in floor (the highest ties and collar were removed today). I am not counting the level that would exist when a floor is poured atop the current level of the exterior climbing forms.
If my diagram has been correct, the current highest tie-in is placed at the 27th actual (32nd apparent) floor.
Correct me if wrong.
