It looks like it will be topped out by Christmas which is a hell of a present to Vancouver skyscraper nerds like us. Everytime I see this erection get bigger, mine does too Even though it won't have the same towering impact of Shangri-La I think it's going to be a nicer building, architecturally. I'll spare you guys the dancing fruit and vegetables this time though.
LOL nicely put

murals, yes
posters, yes.
more neon lighting, yes
billboards or any corporate advertising, gross.
imho
so you mean some benevolent group is going to just put up art? in my wishes. but there's no way it won't be advertising if they were to use those spaces.
"poured floor of 42 today, so 8 more with mechanical. We switch now to a 7 day cycle as the building pulls back in, but the balcony continues out. (harder to form for concrete). looking to finish early January for main structure."

Again, what a great addition to our city! love the first pic, it makes the tower looks massive relative to its neighbours. Thank goodness Vancouver was able to fill one prominent location with a tower of decent design and height.
^^
It is weird to see a building get so high without glazing. Normally the glazing is about a dozen floors below the one they are pouring. Does anyone know why the Georgia is so far behind?

I think someone said something a while back about the glass shipment being delayed. Or maybe I'm just imagining that and making up fake excuses.
How many floors are left (not many, I would imagine) before it's topped off? And when might that be? Any ideas? Thank you
... (tried counting. Seems like about 4 or 5 to go)
