YES!

I was hoping they would do that.

I'd dearly love to know what Telus is doing on top of the old toll building. They've added some serious structual steel on top, and are proceeding to put a deck on top of that.

In this photo from April 25th, you can see colour programmable LED lighting on the underside of the solar panels on top of the commercial tower, as promised in the renderings:

The lobby door on Richards was open today, so I took a couple shots - looks great:

The darker grey to the right of the (left) marble column is a water feature:

Looks great.

Also looks like a lot of obstacles for an office building lobby.

Pics by me today:

You can guess how tall it will be when the next "box" tops out.

I'm beginning to think the residential tower is going to be like Woodwords for me: the longer I look at it the more I think the fussy ornate-ness of the thing works. At least from certain angles and a bit of distance.

I love the massing of it, I just so far am very disappointed by the materials choice. Henriquez is a solid architect though so I'm holding out hope the finished product will come together.

if only he would have used a different coloured spandrel it would have been much better. the bones are there it's just the finishing that sucks. green spandrel really makes it blah.

i feel sorry for the future window washers. looks like it'll be a nightmare to clean.

Yeah, if only they would have kept the original colors, this could be a masterpiece. I like everything but the colors. The shape is great and it will feel very tall in its location - it already feels massive from Richard Street!

A quick shot of the Georgia plaza surface being laid. Looks the same as what's inside the atrium in Locked In's previous pics.
