The one section near the top that's more depressed in than the rest looks awesome. I'd love to see the view from up there when it's done!

On webcam 1, it appears that they have got some South side glazing up again.

Does anyone know if there have been any building documentaries on the construction? Like the ones you see on Discovery?

It's cool to look back at two years ago. I forgot how the Bow looked when it was just starting out.

Couple of questions for some of the more knowledgeable folks.

Is Skygarden #3 (the 50th floor) executive only?
Are Cenovus executives going up at the top floors as well?
Any word on Bow retail?

but not even half done the first row.

It should be noticeable that the second level is quite a bit taller than the first (the first is the only one that's shorter).

Good to see more glazing going up on row two now. I'm anxious to see this glazing once they are three or four floors up.

This shot illustrates how much variety there is in the skyline with the addition of Centennial, Jamieson and the Bow. Picture those buildings gone, and almost all of the skyline is gray and beige.

The Bow River, and the Bow (Building) now dominating the skyline when viewed from the east on St. Patrick's Island.

That jewel of a building is almost enough to light up the whole central core.

Nice shot Jimby!

The glass on Camera 1 has finally been cleaned. A better view of the glass:

60 storeys worth of perfectly clear glass on this face is going to look unbelievable.
