Lol! Yeah, it's been a while. I'm impressed by how fast they have dug down though. They were only just starting the digging a few days before that.

Can barely see the tops of the back hoes above ground now. How many floors down are they going? 2? I wouldn't imagine very deep, since they'll have 3 above ground parking floors.

Yep. Crane will be soon. I saw the pit yesterday and it was deep. Didn't have time to take a pic

I am still shocked that Vogue is actually happening. It was in limbo for so long...

So many hate this project, but I personally love it. If it is as good of quality as Five West (I suspect it will be significantly better), with this design it will be amazing.

I like it too. It's not the cool modern glass like some of the others, but I like a bit of variety. I don't care for the podium, but the rest is fine.

Yeah, I don't mind it either actually. It's po-mo, but at least it's decent po-mo.

With the right lighting, the top of the building could look really good.

So at this point are they just flattening it out? Will it be one or two floor of UG parking?

I am pretty sure they are going deeper, but need level ground for the anchor boring machine, to bore holes for the tendon tie-backs.
