Awesome shots! I assume they are taken from Urby?

You can really see the curve from that angle.
Here’s a two week series of photos from around 2 weeks ago. They’re moving at a slightly more than 1 floor/week pace. Wondering if now that they’ve reached the square floors they can get to 1.5/week

I also noticed construction almost grinded to a halt once they finished the curved floors. Maybe they had inspectors come to take a look but it looks like they started adding floors again.

Construction is stopped as of tomorrow at 8pm by Murphy’s orders so we’ll have to wait probably 2 months to find out.

Still going on as of today after being just about shut yesterday - but that seemed to have been more about the weather. There was some talk in one of the other JC building threads that they think workers are basically making sites safe, but that doesn’t seem to really be the case on this - they seem to be adding another floor. I’m not sure what difference one more floor makes. And realistically we don’t know how long - but I doubt 2 months for construction. That’s probably one of the first things that will reopen.
Also I think they have actually sped up a bit since they passed the curved floors. They were pouring about 1 floor a week then (1 every 5 days) and now they seem to be doing 1 every 4 days. Haven’t seen them at full speed but they may even be able to do 1 every 3.

I don’t see 331 on the list though?

it was still pouring today. I’m not sure why it’s not on the list as it seems to be more in need of structural work (some of the plywood blew off in the storm Monday).

So it turns out 331 Marin is exempt too. It’s listed as “180 Morgan Street” for some reason (even though none of the parcels in the site has that address).

apophenic - that photo is from 2012. By 2016 The Morgan already existed, as well as 70 Columbus.
Still, a huge change over the past few years.
FYI - as of Monday this week, both this building and the one next to it are paused. They have been digging a trench in the street in front of 351 for the past 3 days, but that’s the only work going on on either building.
