The board-formed concrete has a nice texture to it, noticeable even from across the street.

Update from last evening....

So splain me this: they didn't excavate here. Why not?

Also may be related to the brownfield condition of these lands -- I understand there's only a thin layer of fill on top of some land that's seen some serious industrial activity. Best not to dig down too far.

That may be true further west (nearer Cherry) but where RC is being built and further east the land was excavated and then refilled (to a higher level) with clay (to waterproof the berm) and then topped with regular soil.

RC3 is getting some verticality to it. Rising above Eastern Ave. Also does anyone know what the new support structures are? For balconies perhaps, although I don't see them in any renderings.

Heaps of workers working away...

These braces are located on the northeast side.

From today. I can't quite tell from the renderings what this side of the building will look like. But it seems like part of it might be just blank concrete walls. Which would be a shame given its prominence from this angle.

Taken today. This is going to make for an impressive gateway city view along Eastern Ave at 29 floors, with RC1/2 to its right!

(the black brackets seem to simply be support structures during the building phase)
