Recent photos show the degree to which the curtain wall has progressed since our last update in June. Scaffolding rigs with workers can be seen scaling up the main western and wide northern elevations, where the final light-gray faade panels are being attached to the metal framework between the window grid. The panels, which feature an irregular pattern of black speckling, are arranged in vertical strips and will eventually run up the entire height of the reinforced concrete edifice.

On the opposite southern face, a tight mesh of metal is in place, to which the final curtain wall panels will eventually be affixed. This treatment will run over much of the elevation, interrupted only by a few vertically stacked windows spanning several of the upper levels. The eastern backside of the tower features multiple protruding and cantilevering setbacks, though these architectural gestures are currently obscured by the exterior hoist. Most of the buildings floor-to-ceiling glass has been installed, especially on the eastern corner of the final floors facing the East River.
