Frenetic Fridays... can't say I've seen so much activity on site. And yes, they're super. (Sorry @Benito: was in the area and couldn't resist).....

Bets on the number of UrbanToronto pages when the building is topped out? This is a very active thread (for good reason, I'm pretty damn excited)
 
This is exciting! I guess the next step after all the columns are in place is to fill them with concrete?

Interesting - I was expecting some boltholes at the top of that beam. Maybe that shaped sheet metal is covering some sort of slot for a pin/slot connection?

Another interesting thing - you can see higher circumferential rebar densities in the supercolumn where it connects to other elements (the diagonal beams, presumable floor beams at the top).

Jesus. Those really are SUPER columns!

I guess they’ll have 82x4 one story versions of those coming up? Or will the tower be built in a more traditional manner above this?
 
I have no inside knowledge, but columns often span multiple floors. The columns down low might be single storey (on account of how large the storey is), but I'd imagine they'll be multi-storey as the building advances
 
That temporary bracing appears to be welded right onto the beams. Not that I am surprised at this...as they really don't want those to go anywhere before they become supports for the building proper. So I am going to figure.
