Boy, that Sheraton Centre-dominated view looks 70s in its washed-out-colourness. Maybe it's because of the Sheraton Centre, Sheraton logo and all...

With the FSC there does seem to be a lot of blank concrete/brick staring at us in that pic. Not that I mind open expanses of blankness or anything

urbandreamer - good to see you contributing photos now!
ya, this beast is rising in a big hurry now! Totally blew past RBC - just shows you the efficiency of steel construction...

There's another reason as well. They are not using the crane to bring up cement for the core. It is being pumped up so the crane can be used for other things like the steel. At RBC the cranes have to do everything. It takes a lot of time to take a bucket of cement up especially as the building rises.
This one will top off first.

I woke up this morning and something was rising way up.
I could see the BA Crane for the first time from my window!

Ok. I may have missed something with regards to my floor count.
Are we on floor 26, 27 or 28?

Thanks Ziggy.
Then we have clearly passed the halfway point including fins and mechanical.
At this rate BA should be topped out by Fall.

Definitely an exciting time for Toronto. Every time I come downtown BA is getting so much taller.

True, the security in this building tossed me out on the street--Am I the first UT "terrorist suspect?"
But damn it, it was too great a chance to pass up so here it goes...
Outside in the free world: 
Redroom Studios: Thanks! I had to have an excuse to get off my lazy ass and re-explore the city! It's a cheap camera but I've already taken over 2000 photos, maybe 2-3 good ones.

I love over jealous security guards. I have been chased out of a few locations aswell just trying to snap a few pictures.

So they have added another storey of curtainwall glass to the east facing side, eh?

Hey history buffs, a question for y'all from this photo I took today of BA (East from U-Avenue)--What do the black eagles on the old building represent?
