I can't recall how deep it's going, but it'll be the deepest pit ever dug for Calgary.

I watched them lift the horizontal drill from the hole yesterday, so that means tendon tiebacks are done. We should be some foundation work soon!

Talking Telus Sky with BIG's Thomas Christoffersen

Quote:
The crane has been installed at the site of perhaps the most anticipated new development in Calgary. Vancouver-based Westbank Project Corp has partnered with the innovative Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and local architects DIALOG, who together, have envisioned Telus Sky, a residential-office building rising 59 storeys above Downtown Calgary. To gather insight into the project, SkyriseCities interviewed BIG partner Thomas Christoffersen, who spoke about the design and their relationship with Westbank.

I had not seen these renderings of the sky gardens. Looks awesome I hope it might be open to the public. If not at least on Open Door YYC!

No pics (it was late and I was cold) but they poured the slab over the weekend. Walked by on Friday night and they had started the pour; was driving past on Saturday evening and they were still going. Good stuff.

Telus Sky Making Its Way Towards Ground Level

Quote:
Planned to rise 221 metres above the intersection of 7th Avenue and Centre Street, the 59-storey mixed-use tower is currently well under construction. After the excavation process was completed in the fall and two cranes were installed in the pit, the first underground concrete levels are now being poured, as seen in the picture below. Once completed in 2017, it will not only become Calgary's third tallest tower, it will also boast a unique design paired with yet-to-be-seen amenities. A nine-storey atrium equipped with wall planters will mark the entrance of the building's office and residential portions, respectively located on floors 4-29 and floors 30-58.
