October 23 - the core is on a roll, but it’s still hard to image glass installation starting in December (though I’m sure they will.) Also, looks like the light tubes are being removed/replaced for both Scotiabank logos.

^ Great shots. How much further will the core go up before they start catching up with the steel and other stuff for the actual floors and outside walls?

If it's anything like Bay-Adelaide (and most steel constructions) they won't catch up until they reach the top. Most steel builds have the core a few steps ahead, sometimes many many steps ahead (The Shard in London is a great example).

Does that make this more or less fully leased? At least the first phase? The office market seems to be ridiculously tight right now.

The core normally sees one floor being pour at a time, but it can be 2 at times.
The core keeps going until it reach it height. Steel will follow many floors behind the core. I have seen cores 10+ floors above the steel floors. Saw one in London UK that was about 20 floors tall.
This way, its allows the steel erector to place the steel in place and then start bolting all the connections. When placing steel into position, 2-4 bolts are bolted to the supporting connection to hold the floor in place. Bracing cables are used to hold the structure in place as well plum it to allow the remaining bolts to be place. Decking can follow a floor below the one being place or a few floors below it. Once the deck is spot welded to the steel, the floor is ready for concrete and items to be cast into it.

As of the end of Q2, there was about 11.5MM square feet of office space under construction in Canada. ~1/2 of that is in the downtown cores of Vancouver and Toronto.....why?
The have vacancies of 4.7% and 2.9% respectively.
The office market seems tight....because it is!

Interesting to know. I didn't know there was any space left in this building. Demand seems very high.
