250 Park Ave, I believe someone asked the same question a while back.

I love wide angles, but it’s hard to get a steady shot on this side of the tower (to get a steady shot of the center atleast) because of the narrow passageway and you don’t want to get it peoples way by stopping…

Looks like they are getting ready to start the second* setback. You can see the beams going up past the second completed diamond.

Really starting to see that taper! The E/W profile is my favorite part of the design.

They are still 4 floors from the 2nd setback counting from the last completely decked floor, the new columns make that 2 more floors until the setback So still a ways away, but by about the end of the month is still reasonable for the 2nd setback to be reached.
@Nickfloyo think you’re getting way ahead of yourself in saying the 3rd setback .

Lol, I mean generally the rest of my comment still stands, there are still 4 more floors until the 2nd setback/3rd tier, the apex of the diamond hasn’t been reached yet and I can’t quite tell what you saw in your own photos that lead you to believe that it had been reached.
The approx. height of the next tier is located around/about the height of the top of the crane cabs.

I will update my construction timeline/height diagram when the next setback is reached later in the month or wait slightly until May. Last time I updated it was on the New Year and 6 floors have been built since, keep in mind that one of those floors was an outrigger/mech floor.

and the job has been shut down for a couple weeks.
i think they are starting with steel again now because i passed a truck in the area that had a column for this job on it - probably headed to the GWB for overnight.
