Looking forward to see some of them, Nick. The preview looks impressive!

That top right one is incredible, Nick! Looks like you’re standing in a neighboring building!

I want your job Nick! That bottom middle shot is awesome. Both middle shots actually.....

Approximately how high up is Vista now compared to its final height? Halfway maybe?

[Kumdogmillionaire]

I thought I saw someone say that the shortest of the three towers was about the half way point, so that would mean we are well past half-way then right?

IIRC, the east tower tops out at the 47th floor at 593' 9". It appears the middle and west towers have advanced an additional 7 floors, although a bit hard to tell due to the concrete forms. The core is probably close to 700 ft.

^ Are you sure about that? the coast is only 464 feet. I think this is still under 600

[Bonsai Tree]

^^ No, that seems about right. I counted 53 floors, so the main section is 6 floors above the 1st setback. The tower is probably a little over 650 ft. I think the picture is deceptive because the Coast is closer to where the picture was taken.

Ah i see

From Thursday morning before I went on-site. Can't imagine how amazing this will look in the summer AM sun once it's all glassed up.

I'm embarrassed to post after Nick, but some views while walking along the Lakefront today:

I think that might be '101 (total) floors', as IIRC, there are 3-4 floors below Wacker (lower, lower....lowest? Wacker). This means 98 at Upper Wacker, but +101 floors above CCD

Wouldn't those extra floors count then, if they are above CCD? Or is it from the lowest surface streetlevel entrance? Or am I mixing that up with official height measurements?

Glacier, that first pic is STACKED

Yeah, I had a similar thought of after I posted that

[Bonsai Tree]

Wow! Awesome pictures everyone! It seems to me like they might be progressing at a slightly faster pace now that they have hit the first setback. From what I counted in the pictures, they completed another floor in only about 4 days! Which was faster than before. I know concrete takes the same amount of time to set, but they probably don't need to spend all that time doing the forms on the lower section. Hope this trend stays
