Am I counting 20 floors with the bottom included? So 7 floors left?

About as much as the windowless area still to go it appears.. Are they going to put a tall crown on top? Lets squeeze all we can out of this.

You can see they are starting to finish off the skywalk across Hudson.

Even worse than I was picturing after the initial designs. Such a shame.

Top seems to have a crown hopefully they will have L.E.Ds. Like the inlets of Devon!

I Hope so too

honestly, it appears that the skywalk is adding the 'appearance' of density to Hudson. I'm starting to think this may not actually be as bad as I was thinking.

What is bad about it? Should look pretty cool once it gets glassed in.

A good read this morning on Minneapolis' skywalks:

https://nextcity.org/daily/entry/minneapolis-skyways-plan-future


A conversation was sparked. “Is downtown Minneapolis a good environment for investment right now? Do the skyways create structural headwind for retail in downtown Minneapolis?” Dayton asks. “I would argue that it does. As long as they’re in place, that makes me unfortunately not inclined to invest downtown.”

So since the air is colder and a little more clear, can anyone show us what impact this is starting to have from a distance?

Holy cow, these panels going up do not look good at this point. Kind of a dirty brown while everything else is glass/steel/silver/gray:

Does anyone know how many floors have they completed; they should be ready to top the project off with a crown.

Sure hope these garage panels look better when complete... Now, they look like these super cheap plastic pieces that don't fit together very well and are a weird brown/tan color.

Pete

You can see that the panels seem to be slightly irregular and don't present as a uniform, solid surface but rather a bunch of different pieces of plastic all stuck together.

Hopefully it looks better once finished.

I believe they're sprinklers. Why they're not underground is beyond me.

Yes, they are just sprinkler lines.

Just a quick, cheap way of getting the grass and trees some water.

This was supposed to be a 'park'.

27 inhabitable floors plus the crown which will add another 30 feet or so.
