I don't see the curved steel - it looks pretty straight and rectangular to me?

Looks like low oil prices have had their impact on Brookfield and the north crane has been taken down . . . (just kidding - it appears it is being moved east to a more central location)

^^ Oil has rebounded pretty good the last 2 weeks. But I don't think 2 weeks will be the trend for six to 12 months though. Low prices are already hurting jobs in North Dakota and Texas.

Love that curved corner. Soooooo good.

Labridniv · #**729** Posted **Apr 23, 2015, 2:34 AM**

it gets wayyy better. The corners curve more and more a bit as it gets higher. If you look at the rendering you can see that the top corners are more curved then the ones at the very bottom. The way the core is and the way they are erecting the frame like that, it reminds me about that one they are building in LA.

Does anybody have any info on when that parking garage is getting taken down?

Chadillaccc · #**730** Posted **Apr 23, 2015, 6:39 AM**

haha I know man, I'm the guy who finds all the high res renders and posts them here for basically every project I can find them for. It's going to be a gorgeous building. Heard that Brookfield is sparing no expense

No solid info on the start date for tower two has been given, so therefore no timeline for the closure and demolition of the Bow Parkade unfortunately. It could be worse though, as far as parkades go it's not that bad, at least the whole 7th avenue side is retail at grade.

You have no idea how happy I am that you exist. Thank you very much Chadillaccc .

Awesome photos Btw!
