Looks like the north side is now 100% glassed in. Can I get a second pair of eyes for confirmation? This is a major milestone!

50%, they still have to do the backside of the north side.

We were driving east on Reno at about May last Thursday at approximately 5:15. At that point of the day the angle of the sun, shining near the top of the Devon Tower, as almost BLINDING! I couldn't believe how powerful and extremely distracting the glare was. I was wondering if this might be a possible problem for those driving east on I-40 during certain times of the day.

Sun visors in cars work well.

How are they going to wash the windows? It seems as if the aluminum looking vertical bars (which obtrude from the glass) would get in the way of the window washing sled.

Uhmmm....point missed...obviously...

Modern technology will make it easy. Now, who would want to wash windows on the Burj Kalifa or the planned tower in Azerbijan or China, both over (3448 feet, more than 4 Devon Towers tall!!). Could you imagine the wind speed more than a half mile up?

I have a nagging question. With the top open and the lower floors being completed how do they keep the rain from running down the interior of the building and ruining the lower floors progress?

Rain? What is rain?

All that's left to see now on the cam are the cranes coming down.

Someone needs to take a vid of that

Was it like this?



Keep in mind, that is with the triangle only about 1/3 of the way filled.

If my rough calculations are right, the glass in WTC 1 (at 67 stories as of last week), is currently just slightly above the overall height of Devon Tower. WTC 1 has an average floor height of just over 13 feet, so it squeezes more floors into the same space.

If my calculations are correct, if we can get construction up to 88mph, we can fast forward to MAPS 4

We need a lightning storm and a DeLorean.

Can't deal with the first shot, especially during the day, but that's only because the Chase Tower looks like crap during the day. Great shots though!

[Pete]

Chase is the one building that really does look a lot worse now that Devon is almost finished.

The others are either newer or at least historical and nicely maintained; Chase just looks like an old worn-out 70's style box that hasn't been touched for decades.

It's going to look a lot worse when/if the SandRidge tower is built along with the rumored new building for Main/Hudson and a new convention hotel.

I was attacked a few weeks ago over on skyscraperpage for saying that Chase was an ugly building. At night it's not so bad but in the daytime it's just ugly all around.
