A series of shots from SkyTrain. I know..... the quality is not the best; however, it's a rare opportunity to see what's up there from a different perspective.

Progress is well underway (Tower 3) for big columns that lead to transfer slab

The progress of tower 4 is not far behind tower 3.

Nice, thanks!
Curious why Tower 2 still has forms on a couple of the V columns.
For Tower 3, looks like the V columns will be Y columns, unless another podium floor will be added.

Seems like the construction elevator is blocking the removal?

officedweller · #**504** Posted **Jan 31, 2021, 11:40 PM**

There seems to be clearance.
I just noticed that the removed ones are sitting nearby, so could be in the process of removal.
They'll be needed next door soon, it seems.

Did not get to Tower 4, I was spotted. I don't make a fuss, I just move on.
It's dangerous work, so I don't want to distract anyone from doing their job.
Take a couple of pictures and they might let you be, but when they see you sweeping your phone from side to side, then they ask questions. As you see in the video.

Did he think you were scouting out the site so you could rob it?

osirisboy · #**509** Posted **Mar 2, 2021, 12:19 AM**

How tall are these?

Here you go... I think crane height on the westernmost tower is already final.

If you were looking for the floor count. Here it it is.
Tower 1 is only 5 floors left to top.

Klazu · #**512** Posted **Mar 2, 2021, 1:51 AM**

Now that I think of it, I have been thinking that these towers will have wacky wavey balconies but they are actually turning out your regular rectangular towers. Am I thinking of another project in the area or has the plan changed?

Klazu · #**513** Posted **Mar 2, 2021, 2:30 AM**

Forgot to post this earlier. Filmed last month and shows how impressive Brentwood is looking from east.

The Concord towers line up well in the sightline.

The 2 west towers have straight edges.
The 2 east towers have wavey edges.

Thank you for the video during your reconnaissance mission.

Being a construction shutterbug can be a little bit of a cat and mouse game. I like to capture when workers are on site.
I don't blame them. I have curious on lookers capturing me coring. I never deny them but I do shield my face a little.
All I need is WorksafeBC to spot something they don't like and impose more safety procedures and paper work.

March 7 '21, my pics

rofina · #**518** Posted **Mar 8, 2021, 8:14 PM**

Shame these turned out as square as they have. I was hoping to a more wavy form on the balcony edges.

That said, the average height around Brentwood is pretty impressive.

officedweller · #**519** Posted **Mar 9, 2021, 12:06 AM**

Towers 3 and 4 are the wavey ones.
We should see floorplates soon on those ones.

Towers 1 and 2 always had straight edges.

Oh excellent! I did not know this! Looking forward to seeing that!
