It's hard to picture how tall both those towers are going to be.
It will be reality altering when they pass manulife to reign over the city. I know for myself i still don't believe it, but I am extremely excited for the reality to be cast in concrete.

Indeed...still very hard to fully comprehend the impact of their heights and presence. Stantec is nearly COE on top of Bell.

11 PM and they are still doing the raft slab pour for Tower B. According to the time lapse pics, they've been at it since about 7 AM.

I gotta say I'm really amazed by how the Ice District is, it's just a massive new part of Downtown Edmonton that'll be a great addition for the city. Part of me really would enjoy going there for vacation sometime later, at least when the Ice District is "completed".

At first I wasn't too sure about the design of the WSP tower but I'm liking the finished product more.
