Recent photos show the concrete structure and metal floor decking at full height, with metal stud framing filling in the wall cavities from floors two through five. The construction hoist rises on the northern edge of the west façade along Wabash Avenue. Photos show workers on the ground floor covering the sprinkler pipes, which may be in preparation for spraying the fireproofing material.
