It will be a combination of Four Season hotel rooms on the lower levels and luxury condos on the upper levels.

"It's now a city of three towers instead of two, it's very cool," said Shane Sampson, Suffolk Construction Assistant Superintendent.

One Dalton broke ground in January of 2015. The building is shaped like a guitar pick or a Dorito. Since the winter, crews have built up a floor and a half a week.

"So in two weeks' time you've seen three additional floors to the structure and if you blink an eye four days later we'll have a floor wrapped in glass," said Sampson.

The hotel portion of the building is set to open in April of 2019.
