Thanks for the great picture. It's finally starting to look tall!

Gentlemen, we have liftoff.

Today.

Am I correct to observe that the super-columns are turning into just reinforced concrete and there will be no more steel sections installed?

I was wondering the same.

I saw the workers installing an additional corner platform earlier today. They were using a scissor lift on the platform below to secure the one above. I guess those platforms can handle quite the weight.

Makes sense. After the podium is done it would be likely overkill ...and they must cost a fortune.

Looks like they are being formed out from the next concrete pour, which would lead me to think that we might see another super column metal prefab piece placed on top of the current column tops?

They're getting ready for the floor pour though. If they have another super-column prefab piece, then now would be the time to install it, before pouring the floor of the next level.

Like I said above, they look like they are being excluded from the area that will be poured.

Perhaps the super column peices will show up this week.

Apologies, didn't read your post or look at the pictures correctly to notice that the super-column sections are formed out of the floor pour. You're right, we might get another, smaller panda. But the design only states steel sections are required for the 2 Yonge Street side super-columns. Who knows! But the pace they're working, we're bound to find out in the next few days!

Interesting how the floor is held only by the walls and the columns are isolated
