Nice shots, again! They didn’t take any time to round both of the Park Ave side corners from the small amount that had been put on my last photos, because of this the cladding is finally visible from the livecam feed with more panels waiting on the cladding line. That’s a lot of cladding to have put up in a 5 day span. They also tilted the camera up the smallest bit.

More close ups of steel waiting to be hoisted up, and some general pics. The north west corner still hasn’t made any facade progress.

Those are probably facade models— the base will have curved elements like that if you look at the rendering

@bpc is right, they are facade mockups of portions of the aluminum column cladding. There is probably a mix up during translation but the adhesive portion is probably refering to the welding inside the curved portion.

Maybe in October 2023 I can post some pictures of the 270 Park Ave. construction site myself. Post (my vacation pictures).

This tower is yet another Colossus of Rhodes on the world’s most important island.
To add, Blackstone, Nomura, AmEx, and Jefferies are now all looking for huge chunks of space on top of Citadel building a new HQs at 350 Park.
I would like to see 2 WTC and 175 Park get off the ground first.

I’m not quite sure if I will be able to take update photos over the weekend due to the weather forecast, we’ll see, but this one should be “stalled” the majority of May to disassemble the 2nd crane once these last 2 floors are mostly complete and due to the large mech/outrigger floors at the setback. Though I’m sure facade installation will still proceed since the cranes are not assisting with that.

The image from EarthCam is slightly old, all of the cocoon has risen to the setback and there’s more steel, but generally, this shows that there isn’t much more to go. The main “bulk” of the building has been completed/built out. The building will reach supertall status slightly below the midpoint of this “next” (3rd) tier.
Lol, don’t expect these kind of line edits from me very often, I’ll try to share the update to my timeline diagram some time this week.

Good analysis, TDKV.
Is this now at the height of the next setback? I couldn’t tell from your comments.

You too. We’re the small handful of Wired New Yorkers. I forgot who else on here was, but I know there are a few more of us.

I still know the good old Wired New York forum as a visitor not as a registered member. Only I wondered at the time why it was closed?

Mainly lack of attention by the owner.
Yes, steel for/that reaches the setback was installed some 10 or so days ago I’m not quite sure when that SSP based image was, taken but it is more recent.
@stache I appreciate that.

So you’ve been around a long time too. I thought that you were a young, twenty-something whipper snapper.
