Those awesome shots emphasize what a huge impact this will have on the skyline west of University.

Loving that clear glass! Wow very awesome stuff.

When will the curve start to appear I wonder? At which floor? Maybe around 20?

Also the glass is supposed to be able to withstand gale force winds, but what about falling ice from the CN Tower?

^Read several pages back and you'll discover that just like BA-Centre, the contractor is wrapping weather protection around the site to protect workers, ensure a steady temperature in the structure, etc.

Sorry I don't have a picture, but I have visual confirmation that the blue boards will come together to make a Ritz Carlton logo.

The lion?

 

[rather_draconian]

Yup. It's not very big though, I think the vast majority of the boards will just be solid blue.

I was at the site yesterday, I counted 13 floors.

45 more floors to go.

I'd imagine they'll start going up at a quicker pace now.

Unless there was a variance in height that i didnt hear about.
How did this building all of a sudden grow to 58 stories when it was approved for 53 stories?

Odd that this building is doing this when all but Bay Adelaide haven't. I thought Bay Adelaide was doing it because of its steel frame.
