Post by iamjacobm »

This huge projects is really coming along.  Willis Tower will soon be #2 in America.

Also there is a full service Subway that rises with the construction as the building gets taller!

Wow, they really are everywhere... makes me wonder if there's a Walgreens or CVS on the other corner.  Those appear to be everywhere, too.

A publishing company, I think it's called Conde, is the first tenant.

Amazing how long it took to finish this building! Started in April 2006 but didn't start construction above ground until 2010. I had the pleasure of watching them build it while I lived in NYC and will never forget how amazing it was that they could build a building that tall. You can see it from 20 miles away in most places in the city and even out on Long Island on a really clear day.

They train for this: Crews rescue World Trade Center window washers

Apparently, two window washers were left dangling on their scaffold 68 stories up.
