Construction continues on schedule. Curtain wall installation in the tower will be completed. The glass enclosure for the Lantern at the top of the building will be started. Elevator installation continues in the high rise, mid rise and service elevator banks. Mechanical and electrical trades continue with their rough ins throughout the tower floors including lighting, fire alarm and sprinkler systems. Installation of access flooring in the typical office floor areas proceed up the building on levels 13, 14 and 15. Installation of access flooring in the podium will be completed to level 8. Finishes in the podium floor washrooms will be completed. Ground floor glazing will be complete as will the curtain wall for the feature stair. The ground floor lobby stone flooring will commence. The Ritz-Carlton will pour the 19th, 20th, and 21st floor slab and begin forming and pouring the 22nd loor slab.
Here are a number of pics I took, including some close-ups of the lantern. I can't wait to see that lantern lit up at night. I hope they use really top quality lighting. I was not expecting this on top but it's a nice, little surprise. We need more light and colour in our skyline but slowly, it's getting there.
Wow, I didn't realize this project was this far along now...haven't had a look at what's going on in T-dot for a long time...
I really like that developers are starting to build a fairly substantial skyline towards the west end of downtown with projects like this...it's going to look like a totally different city in another 10 years...
