They've made some pretty significant progress this week, definitely past the foundations now.

Build a Ritz Carlton across the street at Bow South Block with the narrow side facing north to south. Tallbob would really like that, I would too.

Look at that pic in the post above this one. Look at how big that hole is! Now what progress could they possibly have made on this thing with in two months, my guess is none since nobody is paying any attention to this thing.

How is it coming? Are they like paused at the time or something?

Love it! It's a graceful and understated design that certainly won't dominate the skyline but find its place among it!

I think the flowing form of this tower will contrast very well with the stoic lines of the Suncor Energy Centre, the extremely apparent curve of The Bow, and the tapering curves of Brookfield Place. The black outline will add a lot to the texture of the building I think. We are going to have a "Fantastic 4" tallests in 2018

Getting near to the bottom! The luffer crane is working overtime! This one really needs a construction cam!

By far the most difficult project to photograph right now just because of the depth of the hole. The excavator down in the hole that you can just see behind the orange facing, has a jackhammer tool attachment and is going deeper.
