From the webcam view, looks as though a mobile crane is ready and waiting to install the crane.

Snapped these today. Cool use of the curved building footprint for the ramp!

^ Nice update jstarr! One of my favourites in Calgary right now.

TallBob · #**112** Posted **May 13, 2015, 4:17 AM**

^^ I've said it several times.... This should have been taller! Beautiful building, IMO!

Surrealplaces · #**113** Posted **May 13, 2015, 5:34 PM**

Awesome updates Jstarr!

A curved core, below grade?

I don't recall seeing anything like that before.

probably easier than incorporating transfer beams.

And you'd only need to build one set of forms.

Spring2008 · #**117** Posted **May 15, 2015, 7:18 PM**

Even the substructure looks elegant on this one.

craner · #**118** Posted **May 15, 2015, 11:17 PM**

Agreed - top notch attention to detail here.

Ugh I know this has been said so many times before but this building needs to be taller. If this building overtook Brookfield for the tallest in the city it would have been best. Architecturally IMO its probably the best looking building in the city. It's still an amazing building but to me its wasted potential.

^Can't argue with you.
Going to look great from 6th Ave looking across the park.
