This is the first time I have come across this thread. I started at page one and was not crazy about the renders. By the time I got to the construction photos on page 12, I did a 180. This is building is impressive.
They had a ceremony to celebrate the topping out, but the tower still has a good deal to rise. I would say around 100 ft. The top portion, however, will be concrete.

One of the mods has to edit the thread title. It's not a pyramid but rather a tetrahedron

The colossal sloped wall that sweeps up Danish starchitect Bjarke Ingels’ first major New York City design project at 625 West 57th Street is almost up. Last month, the Durst Organization scored a $411.5 million construction loan to finance the 43-story, 800,000-square-foot rental building, which recently topped out. And according to Buzzbuzzhome, the Dursts would really like everyone to stop calling the eye-catching structure a “pyramid.” “My father doesn’t like people calling it a ‘pyramid,’” developer Alexander Durst, son of 1 World Trade Center developer Douglas Durst, told the New York Daily News. “It’s a tetrahedron.” Prices have yet to be announced, but the top-floor rentals could go for $90 a foot. Twenty percent of the units will be affordable. - See more at: http://therealdeal.com/blog/2014/11/....YkkJnlrJ.dpuf

I absolutely love this building. If I had the opportunity (and means) to live in New York, this and the zig-zag one a few places over are in my top two!

That Herzog & deMeuron design has been around for years - I think it might pre-date it's NYC cousin, not entirely sure though. I personally like the one currently going up in NYC; it's a pretty ingenious design.
