That angle gives me a strong European-style vibe. 

[archilove]

That's a nice area around the Schermerhorn, good shady place to sit with entertaining views. I like European vibes.

Im hoping Turnberry builds a presence here with more development

Up to the 32nd floor now. Just to more to go.

^^Great shots!!  As far as the "two more floors to go"...it definitely appears that when they said 34 floors, they weren't counting that 2-3 story crown...so this should be equivalent to 36-37 floors when completed, right?  Which, again, tells me this thing will end up over 400ft.

They might get all their glass installed before 505 does!!

Crazy how fast this building went up. Dem curves

I don't know; I hope so.  A friend of mine worked on the design of the panels for the ring and mentioned that the wind study for the JW's design was for 400 feet tall as he recalled.

I'm just more or less talking about how they've listed it at 385'...but with the floor count + crown, it has to be taller than 385' (IMO).

I believe it is up to the 34th floor now.

Yikes! Next to JWM, that Westin podium really looks like a cheap suburban office building with that crappy cladding and unoriginal roof line. That whole building looks like it was built on the cheap. 

[TNinVB]

Is it me or does that highest floor look taller than the others? Also, we should see the part that protrudes out (balcony I'm guessing) if this is actually the 34th floor.

Edit: After looking at the rendering, it does look like the top floor his taller than the rest.

Aren't the top "3.25 floors" just one tall mechanical screen?

[titanhog]

Basically, it appears the top floor (with the restaurant) will be taller than the rest...and then there will be about 3 more stories of the "crown."

^^So...is the floor that's just been topped the restaurant floor...or will it be the floor they are now constructing?  They both look a bit taller than the other floors.

I think you are correct. If you look at the rendering that I posted above, you can see that the floor below the restaurant floor is a little taller than the rest of the floors below it. It is kind of hard to see because of the balcony. If you look to the rear of that floor you will see what I am talking about.

So everything going upward from here is the crown...right?

[e-dub]

as seen at 14th x broadway this morning. looking taller than from most vantage points, imo.

Well I am not 100% certain, but based on the rendering above, I believe so. It appears that the next bit of concrete they pour will be the roof of the final floor. I guess we will know for sure when we see the balcony portion starting to protrude out the front.

We could use a few more JWM's in this city.  Just gorgeous.
