Off Topic, why is the Gardiner built with such crummy material that is always breaking apart. This is a relatively new section of gardiner and already there is significant erosion.

I think road salt eating away at steel and freeze/thaw cycles spalling concrete are the main reasons

Is it possible to get the Bus Depot opened before the Construction on the building ends? I ask because as soon as the Bus Depot is functioning construction can begin on Phase II.

That is their plan. Discussed at some length several months ago.

Westward PATH extension from the Atrium would be possible too!
Several blocks in that area would be ripe for development as soon as the Coach Terminal goes, although probably limited in height due to the hospital flight paths.

yup hospital flight paths along with the City Hall view corridor keep redevelopment potential relatively modest.

OT: While not likely to happen - reserving that site for future hospital use would be great.

As shown in @Michael62 's photo, the framing installation for the glass has begun. They have installed all the frames along the south side of this floor (6th?). This afternoon's update will highlight this I'm sure...

Indeed @marcus_a_j . Was there frame-spotting this morning.
From a few different vantage points...
I see a 'C'...
'Cheers' guys...
Framing along west side around to north side methinks..
'Frame holders' in place too...
The southwest corner/s...

Drippy Friday
Westside Story: More steel posts going up, more metal decking going down. No Jump yet!
A closer looks at the clips and risers being assembled for the window system arriving in the future, while a couple of engineers and their minions inspect the next floor that will be getting a concrete pour.
Eastside Story:
A general shot of the east side of the construction
A closer look at the east wall, and some inner curved walls that continue to form the up and down bus ramps
And now showing a truss system that is being created and some post-tension steelwork in preparation of the 3rd level maintenance floor. I'm wondering if this part of the building will continue to be constructed in steel now that we're mostly past the bus depot levels

My excitement is increasing! Can't wait to see the glass.
