Beeline --- your photos are as usual excellent
But -- I'm a bit surprised - -- looking at what has been done so far -- it looks as if the whole thing is going to be concrete just like the Millennium Tower

I don't see anyplace where there are big steel columns which haven't been overlapped by rebar

I would assume with the large span of the Great Room / Connector that there would be steel -- maybe there is an all concrete approach??

The Great Hall has some exposed steel.

S&F Concrete just shared this. They are pouring Level B1:

Boston -- Excellent pix of working at the site -- that's enough of a solid dose of Crane to brighten the bleak late-winter day for even the hardest core Crane aficionados amongst us
