I wonder if they'll cap the east tower. Doesn't have one of those concrete booms.

I believe that is what their stated intention was at the start, but they could have changed their mind. We will see for sure in a few weeks.

I was wondering that too though when the second crane was first set up it was quite short only 3-4 tower sections but then they added another 4 sections to it about a month ago which makes me wonder if they are just going to go ahead and build it. It is a rental and won't be complete for another 1.5 years so it might be worth it to just complete it all. Also guardian north went up with a concrete boom and guardian south didn't. Mark also didn't use a boom. Maybe they just want the taller one to go up quicker?

Chadillaccc · #44 Posted **Apr 22, 2015, 3:53 AM**

Definitely possible, being nearly twice as tall it will take much longer to build.

^^ Or... How about a single 50-55 story tower! Problem solved!

That's what makes you Tallbob

I wouldn't mind seeing it at around at least 40 floors.

It's amazing to think between WAM 1, 2 & Mark we have two 100m+ towers, and ~700 units, all in the north half of a block.

That is comparable to neighbourhoods like Elboya, Rosedale or Erlton for total dwelling count. Amazing.

From Qualex's Fb page. We should know within a week or so if the east tower is a go too. Half the unit count as the west tower, pretty sure WAM will move forward on it. Better now then to come back in a couple years and build between two towers with 600 units worth of people living on either side.

SW of there bunch of new condos u/c. Metropolitain alone is 430 units. That part of the Beltline is getting Victoria Parked. Qualex and Cressey own some sites around here too, so lots more expected.

There's a bunch of columns up for the fourth floor on the east tower now. Would say both towers are u/c, only 3 podium levels.

Great to hear! Big update Friday!

RyLucky · #52 Posted **Apr 30, 2015, 5:19 AM**

Great shot! It almost seems like WAM could borrow Qualex's crane. Of course, Qualex would probably be happy to send that crane to Park Point...

West tower at 10, east tower at 8 floors.

Can someone get a picture update of this job? i'll try when I'm dt tomorrow but since I'm with the inlaws I may have a hard time taking pics of that site specifically. Im more likely to get to Telus sky, Brookfield or Manulife

I don't know if I'll be downtown this week, and then next week I'll be out of town. Might be a dry spell on this one

LFRENCH · #57 Posted **Jun 22, 2015, 11:29 PM**

I can tomorrow, I work right next door
