The cladding on the lobby section appears very nice. Very transparent. The black framing is sleek!!

This tower's impact is greater than I expected.

As of today no. They are working on another section now.

BTW this tower will have 26 floors, not 24. Would someone please correct the thread title?

Are you sure? They have already started working on the 26th floor.

If you look at my last picture you will notice the lack of elevator opens on the last sections. It is nearing completion. The extra height may be for mechanical uses.

I took these photos from the South Bank of the Mon. Not the ideal view of the FNB Tower but it gives you an idea of how the structure will relate to other buildings in the Golden Triangle. I suspect that the view from the Liberty Bridge will be a lot more impactful.

The view from the Veterans Bridge was surprising. Once on I579 you pass beneath FNB on that sunken portion of the highway. It appears huge from that perspective.

its well along now — really like the black framing.

I went for a trail ride yesterday and got some pics. It looks like the steel for the 26th floor has finally topped out. This thing has the impact of a building 550ft+ on the skyline thanks to it's location on the hill. I really like how it fills in the skyline gap from the Hot Metal bridge.

These are a few weeks old, but here is a view from the Bridge to Washington's Landing and at a Pens game.

Nice!

FNB from Smallman and 16th. The rubble in the foreground is the final stages of demolition of the Wholly's Cold Storage (proposed 1501 Smallman).

Note: I'm having trouble posting the pics I've taken. I'm on a Mac with a Safari Browser. Is that a no-go with the ability to use the add photo procedure here on the site?

Looks good!

If you go to share photo on flickr and copy the text under BBCode and paste it here the photos should show up.
