or a complete floor by floor done in concrete, which means a slower overall construction.
The core will go up first, a few floors in advance of the remaining concrete works. The entire frame is concrete (flat slab construction).
Most residential towers are entirely concrete, usually flat-slab frames around cores. The hybrid concrete core & steel frame buildings are typically used for commerical developments where you have more services and higher floor-to-floor heights.
Target completion date for the building is August 2018. No typo there!
