I mean yeah it doesn't look great in those renders but those renders are also terrible quality so there's very little to go off of for the actual detail of the building. The massing is a snoozefest, regardless.

Without that staircase you'd have to get up there through the Scotiabank Arena skywalk entrance or up the tower elevators/stairs so this external option helps with public access (both accessibility and visibility).

If you look at Benito's views you can see the plates they attach to have a lot of holes for bolts. What also is hard to appreciate is that the bolts are likely a few inches in diameter, so they're pretty hefty on top of being numerous. Once all pieces are put together they also gain strength...

From today...

Looks like I guessed wrong on the TD location for that view! 😅

😅 Been with family but when the bat signal is lit I must oblige... Based on the height compared to the previously completed portions of the building I actually think we're seeing some supports that sit just below the fifth level with the tops of these columns more or less reaching to level 5...

Under construction, yes. There's a proposal in Burnaby that would surpass it by only a few metres however (and a few on hold like in QC and Edmonton).

Since we're talking GIFs...here's the final (and full) GIF for the CIBC Square (Phase 1) drawings and the still timeline. This has been a lot of fun and I'm blown away by the support! Hope you've enjoyed it and look forward to seeing all the other drawings grow!

Does Foster's Pharmacy Building have cable-wall? If so, it's pretty tall.

Height ≠ progress in this case! A substantial amount of complicated steelwork to have that floating podium and a rather unfortunate hold that we shall no longer need to talk about!

Yes and they also just finished with their new offices at King & Portland. Seems unlikely they'd buy here (especially with things going remote).

Made a mistake on the height of the lobby core, so have removed that from the timeline and humbly beg your forgiveness 😉

Whoever was complaining about all the stations just being concrete walls was a little (in the most UrbanToronto convo sort of way) premature.

It'll be a beautiful reveal when the scaffolding come down and we see the angular beams holding up the 'floating' first floor.

Yes! That was the post I was thinking of. Thank you for the specifics!

From my understanding the larger crane was just for the initial super-columns and will be replaced with one similar to the yellow crane as it rises.

It's very much turning into Lloyd's Building On a Budget. Still a handsome build though!

Quality of the tower leaves a lot to be desired but the heritage builds are a beautiful addition.
