^Great image.

Just for fun, I threw it into AutoCAD and used the graphic scale for reference. With a tolerance of probably +/- 2-3ft, I got the following:

Roof Level (where it notes the stainless window washing rail): 832'-6"
Top of Glass Projection: 938'-9"
Tip of Spire: 1103'-0"

These are taken from the Figueroa side. Not sure where the lowest building entry is exactly so the final measurements will likely be less.

You can start to make out the curve on the western side now. Great shots, everyone!

How often (floors) are they placing box girders? I take it this must be for earthquake engineering.

These are specific to level 28 & 31, but occur again at level 70 & 73.
