Awesome.

Anyone remember how long before glass started showing up on MT? I remember glass going up while the tower was still rising, but this feels sooner.
 
 
i realize it's WAAAAAY to early to draw solid conclusions, but at this stage it looks to me like 1 dalton's glass is darker and maybe greener(?) than i was expecting, based on all the renders. the images i've seen, so far, appeared to suggest cladding almost identical to JHT and millennium tower.

it wouldn't be a BAD thing if it winds up being noticeably different than those two towers (not bad at all) -- it's just not what i was expecting.

Keep in mind that Dalton and Belvidere are canyons and won't have as much daylight on the lower building levels until you get maybe 50 to 100 feet up. I notice the tint, too, but wonder if it'll look bluer as this gets higher.
 
We need a drone to fly around every couple of weeks and take photos.

You can start to glaze a CIP concrete building with a lead of about 4-5 floors.[/QUOTE

The threshold to cross is probably the 28 day strength being reached by the first pour. At that point all the anchors will be able to take their loads.

If only we lived in the world where there is any perceived value in that style of architecture.

One thing with that architecture is that it didn't perceive any value in the generations' worth of existing buildings that were replaced in large swaths during Urban Renewal. They saw more value in desolate plazas and stairways to nowhere than in keeping an existing dense, coherent street grid.
