Such a good development. Cool, crisp, and refreshing. Seems to be moving without hiccups in the hard cost stage.

Good money. The trades are highly underrated nowadays, and it's sad because quite frankly, you can make some good money in them; especially working on highrises or skyscrapers.
BUT... lets not forget the risks. While safety is the utmost concern with construction companies, every day presents a risk even with control measures in place. Construction workers IMO are the foot soldiers that build our cities. They lead the charge, amidst the dangers, and risk it all, for advancing our glorious skyline(s). And thus, for their skills and at times brutal work, they deserve the money.
You know who has it made, the crane operator. But again, they deserve that 200-300k salary because their actions can kill people or severally delay projects if done wrong. The pressure is real and demands an incredible amount of finesse in doing so.

With towers, a floor or even 2 a week is very good progress, especially given the footprint of this tower.
