Yes for the 15 floors that it turned out to be but not for the 17 floors it was reported to be. The 17 floors that was widely reported in news reports was wrong. 

It’s 16 floors tall. I count 14 in my latest drone pics with two more left to get built.

Maybe when they take out the 13th floor in the elevator, it will still have that 17 as top floor? Is that still a thing?

15th will be the top floor. 2 parking floors will be S2 and S3, no 13th.

It really does not matter how many floors. It’s a tall and beautiful building, one that stands out amongst the rest of the towers in our great city.

No it wasn't. This is exactly the way it was supposed to be built. Smh. No buildings count floor 13. So is considered 17 floors.

I thought newer buildings no longer did that. I remember being in a building within the last couple of years  that had a floor labeled 13.

It makes sense to me not to do it. Of course I'm not superstitious. I know that Liberty One that I'm in often doesn't have a 13th floor, but it was built in the late 80s I believe. I'm honestly not sure if they have started to count the 13th floor. One thing I am sure of is this is a fairly nice sized building in height and mass. 16 floors or 17 floors, it makes an impact. But it's definitely built to the last plan that was shared.

It's 17 floors. If you're looking at the webcam or drone shots you can't see that there is an extra level of parking squeezed into the lowest level. The south side retail space is two stories tall because the adjacent bays are transformers and a drive in loading dock.

Here's your "bonus floor!" (i.e. the mysterious 17th floor)

I’ve always counted the absolute bottom floor; so as the 15th floor goes up, there are two additional floors, correct? 

[distortedlogic]

Looks like it will be pretty nice; just wish it were twice as tall!

Do we need to contact Perry Mason, Columbo, Matlock, or Sherlock Holmes to straighten this out?  

(Yes...I'm that old)

They would all know it’s a silly conversation.

I work at a large local hospital, the operating rooms skip from 12 to 14.

Maybe they forgot.

I am picturing another high rise where the garage is in a few years.  The number of hours that pool gets direct sun is going to be a lot less then.  Wonder why they didnt put it higher up?

I wouldn't mind a building that was fronting Falls St. and took up a portion of the east end of the parking garage site, but that garage takes up a lot of ground space. I'd personally like to see most of that area annexed into the park.

The crane nut in me would love to see that garage demolished, and a tower placed there but expanding Falls Park would be a brilliant move by the city.

Agreed.  it would be a perfect expansion of the park.  And Camperdown gets to keep their poolside sun!
