All of the same boring dark blue glass just blends in.
No contrasting colors.

Couldn’t take a pic, but they started installing windows on the north face.

Is that just on the holes or is it covering the ugly gray wall?

TK thanks for the close ups!
So it looks like they are still pouring concrete, but without the sliding core.

how many if any floors are left to be poured?

I've literally have been staring at it for weeks from my office and it hasn't seem to move up in height anymore. From my angle, I think they are done. The "blue" concrete pump that was extended up on the top of the building has been gone for 2 or 3 weeks. Unless they are pouring from large concrete buckets hoisted from the ground, I think they are no more floors left to be poured. That being said, I think there's some concrete work being done. Maybe it's to house the mechanicals or something. I do see rebar sticking up and what looks like fresh concrete or cinderblocks around them. Anyone know what they are doing from that?

In blart's photo from yesterday, the 4th floor visible from the bottom is the taller floor they constructed some time ago, and that's the 31st floor of the building. So counting up from there, they've completed up through the 48th floor, meaning that there are at least 3 more floors to be poured. Also note that there is rebar visible on what will be the 49th floor, where more concrete columns will be formed and poured.
