First and Evolution.

Wow, I had no idea First was at the stage it is. I was thinking it was still in the podium stage! Too many projects to keep track of in this city.

Nope, First is halfway up

It should be topped out sometime in October I would imagine! It will be 18 storeys not including the elevator/mechanical level.

It's nice to see these East Village towers on the rise after such a slow start.

Cladding is starting to go up!

Nice to see the cladding. Thanks for the update.

what's up with the pressboard condos on the east side?

I was wondering the same thing. The townhouse portions of First are made of wood construction?

This is going to look so cool when you come into the downtown via the 4th Ave flyover!

Somehow I remembered the low rise is wood frame.

The view from the flyover is great now that those towers are making their way into the skyline.

With Pulse and Rio-Can it will be that much more awesome!

Surrealplaces · #**117** Posted **Sep 29, 2014, 7:22 PM**

When going over the flyover right now, it looks as if someone is unpacking a small city.

Chadillaccc · #**118** Posted **Sep 29, 2014, 9:43 PM**

Is Pulse starting to pop up now? I think I see footings in that photo

YEEEHAW! East Village's first 100+ meter tower finally above ground!

!!!

That beast is going to really make an impact in the skyline. Sure will be lonely up there until it's joined by RioCan though, better get them into sales quick!
