When times get better in a few years.... I'd like to see some significant height over on the West side!

Good thing there's a safety rope around the top.

I hope Cenovus is making that an observation deck, so they can recoup some of the expense of their lease! We want ^^^ that view too!

Why is some of the steel white?

PPAR · #**1808** Posted **May 21, 2016, 5:02 AM**

So this looks topped out. Can anyone confirm?

craner · #**1809** Posted **May 21, 2016, 6:13 AM**

Looks like still the crown / parapet to go.

I think this steel will be outside in the elements holding the parapet wall.

I believe the white steel will be holding up the parapet wall.

Yes I believe you're right. The crown & parapet are on top of the concrete core level . . . see below:

Fireproofing.

Guys, if you google Brookfield Place Specifications and go to stacking plans the crown elements look different than the one originally posted by Wooster in this thread??????

Fuzz · #**1814** Posted **May 22, 2016, 2:58 PM**

I think that might just be showing the face cut away.

When I zoomed in it looks painted. A bit different from the fire proofing.

This is definitely not fire proofing and you are correct that it's painted because it will be out in the elements. you can see other sections have regular steel that will be fireproofed and covered from the elements.

Steel for the top level of the crown starting to go up today. Looks to be the "inside" of the bowl.

I hope it's at least 11 meters high... because from every vantage point I see this building, it looks absolutely flush in height with the Bow!

Agreed. Though some of that might be perspective.
