View from the remote camera today. You can see steel framing at the roof level with decking at the Penthouse floor below. The Penthouse level is getting prepped for concrete next week. You can also see steel framing is started on the north area of the project. In the bottom right corner, you can see the outline of new concrete foundation walls at the stair tower and areaway. These walls are waterproofed and backfill is complete to about 3’ below finished grade.

This is the floor decking at the Penthouse level. This area will see concrete next week.

Beams and columns at the 1st floor are sprayed with fireproofing materials. The steel only requires this fireproofing to be about 3/4” in thickness to get the rating required.
