Glass is now officially going in in the office tower. No pics yet sorry. Will get some soon. 

The office tower tower crane will jump up again the weekend of July 15. Second to last jump

Kimpton Hotel today. I did not see any glass on the office tower yet just on the hotel. 300 South Tryon tower from 3rd street.

The corner, vertical steel beams are starting to angle inward.  Looks like about two floors now have angled corner beams.

Looks like they finally connected the lighting on the main tower for the first few floors. Any idea when they are going to start putting the glass up on the main tower?

Here's this morning's view from in front of Mimosa.  You can see a little glass in the lower-left.  There's also a teeny bit of glass (not pictured) by the construction elevator on the north side.

Standing at the intersection of Tryon & 3rd today and it is starting to have that canyon look towards BB&T Ballpark!

First bits of more viable glass has been installed..

Interesting perspectives of the intersections/sides navigator and birky, that is a lot tighter than I would have thought, hard to imagine the windy green space with all it entails fitting along 3rd.

I'm not 100% but I THINK they're eliminating one of the car lanes. And hella glass is going up all over this thing (no pics sorry)

Walking along MLK today, the curved beam on the SW corner of the office tower is becoming much more pronounced.  Speaking of the tower, the core looks to be right at the base of the crane arm now.  I'd wager the office crane is getting raised fairly soon?

They're raising it as we speak. Link

From this evening.  Curvature of the steel at the top of 300 S. Tryon now evident.

Ha!  Had I strolled down 3rd Street I may have seen the prep work myself.

Yeah, and it seems they always wait until Sunday night to raise the cranes. Guess it's better late than never.

They do that so as not to disturb normal work during the week.

Here's a screen grab of the crane after it's been raised today:
