I think it will speed up now most buildings do after the first couple floors.

With all the construction progress, the City Hall construction team thought it was time for another time-lapse video. Watch the below time-lapse video and check out all the progress the construction team has made since February.
Now THAT was very COOL!
Thank you!

April’s construction activity
It has been another busy month for the team working on the new City Hall. The team completed the third level floor and columns and started working on the fourth level.
What to expect in May
Crews will finish the fourth level work and start work on the fifth level. Another team will start layout and framing the interior walls for the basement. The contractor will also begin constructing the steel Brise Soleil.
What is a Brise Soleil?
Brise Soleil is a French term that directly translates to “sun breaker”. It is also the name given to an architectural feature that acts as a solar shading system. The Brise Soleil is a series of horizontal and/or vertical blades that help control the amount of sunlight and heat gain to a building. The Brise Soleil will shade the new City Hall terraces.
The contractor is also scheduled to start installing the precast outer shell of the building sometime this May. More to come in the next few weeks on this exciting addition to the building.
I believe that this City Tower will be one fine looking Tower!
Is every floor slated to be this huge?? That’s only 3 stories but already as tall as the munical building next to it…
I hope so. Do we know what the final height is? 17 stories but how many feet?
265 feet, according to my sources (Google)
The first 3 stories appear to be double height, so the rest won’t be this tall.
So it’ll be about as tall as Skyhouse?
The 300 foot barrier remains strong in raleigh
You can see the shorter height floors starting here.
I have a source on the inside that was there taking pictures yesterday.
Just way better looking!
