October 18 - The amount of rebar for the size of this site is unreal. First project I know where the site is so tight that a separate rebar cage assembly area has been set up off-site on Pearl Street. Nirvana for steelworkers - there certainly were enough of them on the site Friday afternoon.
Pearl Street rebar assembly location:
Assembled rebar cages in transit from Pear to King Street sites:

Game changer for the city- Frank Gehry’s Forma. And don’t let anyone tell you differently. Moves UP a big notch. A little bit more variety & vibrancy of material & colour in skyline & T.O. is just winning going forward. Next Up: Streetscapes & Pedestrianizing streets.

And so it begins! Here's hoping the second tower also gets built, but even if it doesn't, in terms of design excellence, Forma will be the benchmark against which all others will be measured for the foreseeable future!

As much as I LOVE these buildings, I'm going to miss the view of First Canadian Place down King West. End of an era.

It will get built! This Forma tower sold out faster then expected and at higher prices. The condo slump in Toronto will be over just as this tower gets occupied.

Do we know what the facade materials are on this? Like the shiny textured parts. Gehry is famous for using unique materials and making them look fluid. Hopefully its not just glass
