Verve photos in and around the tower
View of the downtown core from the southwest corner of the roof with a good view of Maple Leaf Gardens and Lake Ontario off in the distance.
I shot some photos around the building during a video shoot on March 20. It was a bleak day but I did manage to take a few interesting photos in and around the building.
Here's the view from PH residence 5's bedroom

This is the living room view for PH

Residence 4 looking towards the northeast:
View north towards Yonge & Eglinton showing the dramatic weather changes happening that day:

View from the roof looking west along Wellesley. You can see Lake Ontario off to the left.
View down the east side of the building:
The cordless bungie jump view from the roof looking down the north side of the building to Verve's loft roof and swimming pool.
The view from the roof looking down the west side of the building to Wellesley below. To the left there is the interesting architectural feature that the southwest suites
2D+den suites enjoy. A triangular outcropping provides almost a 270 degree view from the living room. This is one of mine and the construction crews favourite suite designs (beside the southern penthouses up top). It gets a great south light in the winter.
A view of "The Boat" on Verve's roof which houses the building's mechanicals.
Inside "The Boat" housing building mechanicals and air conditioning. This was a challenging piece to form because all the mechanicals (17,000 lb air conditioning unit!) had to be installed and formed around. The air conditioning was a lot of fun to install as it had to be manhandled into position the last couple of feet due to weight restrictions of the crane.
Looking up one of the two elevator shafts and showing that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel:
The suites are well along to completion. Drywall is being installed past the 30th floor and cabinetry and appliances going in to the lower quarter of the building. Here's a shot of an almost finished suite on the lower level:

The Verve Construction video turned out well. I'll post the Youtube link when the post production is completed.
