I dont think I've ever seen cladding reach to essentially the height of the building that is still under construction. That's pretty unprecedented is it not?
A clear sign that the base (retail portion) will open way before the tower is completed. Maybe as early as next summer, based on one of the latest renderings?
 
I move to forbid @Benito from taking any vacations for the next 5 years (or however long) while we wait for this building to be completed! All in favor, please say aye! 🤣

In all seriousness, welcome back! We missed your diligent pictures! I hope you had a splendid vacation!
LOL I already have my next one planned and it is twice as long.

What's the reason for such slow progress?

I think it's to do with the small staging area for equipment and materials, the incredibly complex initial floors and non-receptiveness and their plan to open the ground level to the Apple Store before finishing the tower. By spring next year, it will pick up pace.
