It would seem the next two months will show significant progress. I'm guessing in that time:

the office tower @Georgia & Richards will reach full height
the steel cube in the office tower, facing Seymour will go up
the 4 floor and roof deck steel overhang above Seymour will take shape
the condo tower @Robson & Richards will reach ground level

Indeed, so much going on; it'll be hard to decide which of these four is the ugliest. My bet is the office tower. Just awful.

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before:
Is the street-facing part of the existing Telus building going to be reclad to match the new part? Or will the glazing design and colour match very closely to the existing cladding

Thanks!

You can see the first of the I-beams for the podium on the Seymour side.
I'm assuming that the beams should be the same size/scale as those on forming the box on the Richards side.

When you come down kingsway and hit main you can see the office tower now. Bothcbiuldings will be very promenant from this spot.

^ Nice angle.

These are a couple of days old. One of the steel beams is being moved in the first pic:

More steel for the Seymour Street box being moved into place this morning:

Nice, thanks.

They haven't removed the cabling for the building behind that was used to hang the Olympic bid banners.

officedweller · #**1130** Posted **Jan 22, 2014, 10:02 PM**

Pics by me today - lots more steel on the Seymour-side podium:

My photos, from today.

The supports under the steel box on Richards have been removed.

officedweller · #**1132** Posted **Jan 25, 2014, 1:00 AM**

Nice -
they've also bridged the alley with a steel beam;
the protruding box has started on the NW corner; and
the protruding box on the south side has ended.

Wow, great pictures! Thanks people!
In the series by Locked In, about 2/3 of the way down, plus OD's bottom photo, looking east down Georgia,
there's a small, nearly cubical; 10-storey building.I'm sure it'll be around a while, but it's starting to seem noticeably out of sync in design and scale with its neighbors.
Anyway, for now, it marks the end of downtown (going east, that is).
