A veritable hive of activity. A hive, I say!

All joking aside - am I too far off when I think that they'd be working on the 3rd or 4th floor of the podium by now if there hadn't been a stoppage on this site?

Most of the work seems to be taking place in the parkade right now, but there is some work on the columns.

Thanks Grump!

Seems to be pretty slow going..

Yup. Just checked again and they're working on the 3 forms in the middle of the picture. Crane is working to drop rebar in.

At least there's activity. Slow progress, but it's progress.

lilwayne · #**6945** Posted **Jul 29, 2020, 5:34 PM**

Lots of activity going on here.. looks like its full steam ahead

Good timing, as I'd taken these this morning!

Bottom of the pic you can see the service connection work:

On the north side of the site, they're working on more of the supports:

Not sure what's going on along the north wall, but there was a guy yesterday doing some work.
Still not a lot of workers, but slow, visible progress.

Winnipeg Grump · #**6949** Posted **Aug 4, 2020, 1:21 PM**

Concrete going in this morning to the four forms in the picture above.

Also, they took the paper off the windows for the Mattola Market so that will be opening soon. You can already order from them online.

So I drove by today and one of the rectangular columns on the north east side of the building appeared to be very damaged. It was as if it was hit with a sledge hammer or something. Granted I noticed this while also trying to keep my eyes on the road.

peg · #**6951** Posted **Aug 13, 2020, 2:54 PM**

I walked by there the other day and noticed that too.

Where did Grumpy Gus and his camera run off too, its update time!?!?

Sorry, kids. I'm offsite until the 31st.
No update-ay on the pix-ay until then.

August 31 Update:

Looks like rebar for 6 support columns along the west side.

An existing column on the NE corner (near the road and in line with the crane) was taken down.

Authentic_City · #**6955** Posted **Aug 31, 2020, 4:14 PM**

^Thanks for the update. Progress seems very slow!

Biff · #**6956** Posted **Aug 31, 2020, 5:36 PM**

^^^I think they are making great progress having 6 guys build 2 - 15+ storey towers.

Winnipeg Grump · #**6957** Posted **Aug 31, 2020, 6:13 PM**

Yup. At this rate, they'll get all of the supports in place by the time winter sets in and then they can shut it down until next April/May.

I just wonder why someone wouldn't be in a big hurry to complete a new hotel project right about now.

OTA in Winnipeg · #**6959** Posted **Aug 31, 2020, 9:57 PM**

^Isn't that the truth. Interesting times indeed. One wonders what the new school year will bring.

No kidding, lots of experts here but of course none with skin in the game!
