I think it has but I'm not sure

Looks like core might have topped out. I was way in the South today, and I think Brookfield core might be a few metres taller than the Bow now.

Awesome!! I work up in the oil sands and I'm only home one week out of the month so any updates are very appreciated!

Looking at the DP drawings, appears the crown rises another 15 or so metres above the core. The tower already dominates from several angles.

Is it not just a large parapet wall of cladding hiding the hvac and other mechanical items on the roof top?

6th is shut down as they are putting in the steel for the +15 to Bow Valley Square this weekend.

Core is not top'd out yet, still two levels left. I'd expect to see the jumping forms come down off the core during the first week in April. There are still two more (3-story) cycles of steel but the final section will take longer as the crown is quite complex. It will be close to May before we get a final feel for the height of this tower, and as glazing progresses we will get to see the taper better.
North +15 connection to Bow Valley Square went in Saturday and glazing for the atrium is well under way now

They are working on the steel for floors 51-54. The core has now been finished up to 57 and is now stepping for the final time. There will be two more pours for the two mechanical penthouse levels and then the glass parapet. So there is 5 more floors then the glass crow.

so about 14-15 metres or so of total height left to climb?

jstarr · #**1677** Posted **Mar 24, 2016, 6:33 PM**

I would say it's closer to ~27m from where the top of the steel is sitting right now.

Bokimon · #**1678** Posted **Mar 24, 2016, 7:07 PM**

So the mechanical levels will be in concrete with the crown being all steel frame I guess?
Makes sense. I am also curious to see how the window washing system will work. No doubt they will need a swingstage at least and a retractable crane perhaps if it can be concealed within the building itself like EAP case.

Update from today with many different angles. Also included is the new +15 over 6th Avenue. Unfortunately it was fairly cloudy this afternoon.
