From the looks of the webcam they got the boom of the 2nd crane up. Looks like it's going to be primarily used for wider east side of the tower. I assume we should start seeing steel on that side soon right?

It's strange to me that people come out of the wood work to post casual questions like this.
. . . . as if any thread participant here wouldn't post related info a nano-second after having heard it. Strange.

Oh yeah, anybody find out if they're doing a supertall at rhe NW cnr of 19 & Arch?

Sike.

This is now visible (briefly, barely) from the Schuylkill riverwalk trail.

How close to being topped out do you think it will be at time of DNC, which is...late July I think next year.

I saw a bunch of steel beams being delivered today on my way to work at the site, should start seeing more of it now that the cranes are up and operating.
