Wow, wouldn't have thought they would need 2 cranes for this one? Is the building really long? Do they just want to get it done faster?

Damn! This is a fairly sizable project.

People can complain about how it looks, but again, ANYTHING on this lot is a plus. That was literally one of the ugliest lots I had ever seen in my life.

I didn't know that this building would be that big, awesome.

I think the only reason why they have two cranes is because the cranes they selected have a lower lift capacity than most we see. I'd say the tower section is about have the width, and the booms are much less substantial.

No good angle left on S Bland Street so here's a half-🞵🞵🞵 one from Mitchell Street;

Looks like construction is progressing quickly. The plans show only one level of underground parking, which I guess explains why this has been quicker than some other foundations.

I was on a tour of the Grain Elevators last week. Very impressive site but I can't fathom why anybody would want to live right next door to them...

The grain elevators really need to be painted (or some other exterior treatment).

Almost out of photos

There is a lot of brownfield space on this block. Just imagine the possible density if the block were completely developed.

One thing that I notice last time I was by is that there are metal brackets cast into the floor slabs. These brackets are what you would normally attach precast panels to, I'm wondering if the precast brick panels like the one used in burnside a few years ago will be used here.

Where is the Ambulance Emergency Entrance location? I still maintain this looks like a Hospital with balconies.

This may in fact constitute a "tower" in Halifax.
