I thought that was a rendering for a moment

They removed the remnants of the crane today. Just the Derrick crane remaining now.

Waiting for the day that the main construction elevator starts to come down. Also lighting to be tested, which might not happen until closer to next year/next year.
Interior fan column and central column cladding is going up at a fairly constant pace.
A lot of the structure for the stone/green walls is up, with only 1 render that exists showing said walls, I’m very intrigued as to how they will come out looking in the end.
Reconstruction of 47th St is also rapidly finishing up, I imagine that the road will be back open/ the shed over the southern sidewalk against 383 Madison to be finished up and gone by the years end.

Photo #10, I like how they finished the joins with the curves.
Looking very Blade Runner.

Great film - now a cult classic. The final scene is epic…“I have seen”.
Spoiler alert - the life clock has run out for the ‘replicant’. He is reciting his final word on “all he has seen”.

Looks like they started taking down the temporary crane on the roof today/yesterday, but the BMU for the upper eastern face seems to be missing. How on earth are they going to install it without the crane?

The BMU on the 4th setback tracks around inside and back out to both sides of the setbacks.

Damn, thats a lot of surface area for one rig. But I guess that has been the trend with these chunky NY towers

@TK2000 made a post about this a while back. You could see the rail going into the building before the facade was installed.
That is actually impressive that they’re testing lighting sections before the entire facade is even complete.

I think back to the times they were testing parts of 111W57, CPT, and MW1 & 2; while I’m glad for the testing and lighting previews, having a lasting lighting scheme is what’ll hopefully make 270 Park stand out from the rest at night!

This is probably possible because all the subframe and important parts of the cladding are up already, the actual architectural aluminum cover that goes over everything isn’t connected to the lighting being operational or not.
I do find this interesting though as I was unable to find any indication that the lighting was tested on the OV cam timelapse from yesterday.
Also, 270 from the top of 520 5th
