That will be some BIG solar reflector - even more so than the Bow - because of more flat area facing the sun

It really does, and the best part is that it looks better in person. Those corners are pretty damned cool.

I really wasn't a fan of the renderings of this tower.

Have to say, seeing it in person and those pics completely changes my mind.

Me too. In the renderings I thought the building was okay, but nothing special. It turn out to be a real beaut.

I wonder if this is a preview of what One Manhattan West in NYC will look like.

From the webcam it looks as though the steel has caught up to the core and they are taking a break in erecting the steel. Core must be due for its first setback soon I'd think...

Was thinking the same thing. if you can get a better discount by volume wouldn't you order the cladding from one manufacturer. I have a feeling that the glazing will be the same.
