Concrete pump working early this morning. Must be pouring the base for the crane.

Here are a couple of photos of those boardrooms. It is hard to decipher what is going on.

They finally have gotten to doing the Bloor sidewalk.

It is hard to get good spots to take photos of the site at the moment but it looks like they have definitely reached the bottom and they might be getting ready to erect the crane.

So the second tower has topped out. I thought it being 10 floors taller would make it much taller than the first one (30 vs 40 floors which is 33% more.) Edit: based on a rough count from the photos above, tower 1 is not 30 but 36 or 37 floors. The db info is still showing the original counts.

They are preparing floor 46 which is at height of 160.775m. Considering the final approved height is 328.4m, that makes it at 48.96%.

They lost a day (Tuesday) to rain so take that into account. I don’t think it is a mechanical floor yet but the layout above this floor is changing?

Yes now I actually remember that there is a ramp on the south side of the podium all the way to the 6th floor.

They are not upstairs. They are at grade. That will be the laneway between M3 and M4

Excavation progress is quite noticeable now. More than one level has been dug on the north side.

Have not seen these machines in operation before.

The controversy adds some traffic to that thread but there are many other factors like having a different skeleton design and construction methods, the rumoured, confirmed then canceled and who knows if it comes back Apple flagship store, etc. I am definitely more excited about that one...

Except the realities of our Canadian winters will have a vote on this. Things tend to really slowdown in Dec-Mar.

I think the floor poured today is floor 44. I guess you can also call it the ceiling of the 43rd ‘floor’.

The Well had one or two.

That figure may include those changing subways and not crossing the surface intersection.

Well, this one still has two mechanical sections to go. How many transfer slabs or mechanical sections does the Skytower will have after the current one?

I don’t think they will be able to pour the floor tomorrow and it will most likely be Friday. If so, it would have been 5 days to do this floor.

Why? You do know that if they want they can open the lower levels before the building is completed?

I don’t think that is the reason they seem to be moving faster now though I agree it might streamline and optimize the operations even further. They were doing a regular floor every 6-8 working days and now the fact that they are not doing the rebar heavy lateral walls should shave off a day or...
