Looks like the top out piece will be right in the middle of the east side up top.
Maybe but that part is connected as of today.

Bummer, that could have been a great spot.

Great pics, especially the alley shot!

I noticed the were working after dark yesterday, appeared they were loading curtain wall crates onto the 43rd floor sliding deck.

heck yeah! Love the old and new. If you had a pic from 16th and Leavenworth. On top of the storage building. That would show the old on 16th and the new towers.

What time is the topping out ceremony, and is it open to the public?

The beam is going up around 11:30. It’s not open to the public, but I would rather be in the park photographing it anyways.

Unfortunately I’m stuck in meetings all day because I really wanted to be there and photograph it with my real camera and not looking cell phone photos of it.

So it looks like on the Grow Omaha photos, they hauled the tree and flag to the top, but did they not display them up there somewhere?

very cool. The circling of the top reminds me of when batman when to hong kong in dark knight and the camera panned around him at the top of 2 financial centre

The1wags just pointed out to me that the two external elevators are gone. Any idea when that happened?

They may have moved inside?

Weird, must have been just the right lighting on the track while the cars were at the bottom. The photo we were looking at it was totally invisible.

It will be interesting to see the process of how the external elevators are disassembled and replaced with the final cladding.

So it turns out it is visible from the peak of the hill on Parkview Drive just north of Maplewood Blvd. I was wondering if it would be years ago. Somebody oughta get up there and zoom in.

In the photo from 90th and Dodge, there's a bit of an illusion for me as my eyes keep seeing the Mutual Tower as being closer than the Woodman.

These are great!

Do you think the skinny shadow on the lower part of the building is from the UNO bell tower? It’s especially prominent in the second photo with the pointed top.
