Yes, but it's okay I can ignore them.

Crazy - I wonder if every glass window will have that etched tree design...

some will be etched with views of False Creek, but as soon as you go up a few floors, most will be etched with sky, birds, clouds, aircraft and surrounding building tops

Thank for the update!
There'll be a lot of panelling on this tower.

Guessing the photographer was ignoring the new Drone regulations prohibiting the use of Drones anywhere with 9km of Airport/Aerodrome, and within 75m of buildings, people, animals, and above 90m.

Or has some a special permit.

Agreed. Those loops are just a waste of space.

Doesn't that just apply to recreational drones? No doubt he's probably in that category though.

Did we know there was a web cam for this project?

http://www.granvillebridge.com/

Not useful for late afternoon/early evening due to the positioning of the sun, but a pretty good view earlier in the day.

A few quick shots I took earlier today (May 13). It's hard to see in the photo, but there is rebar and concrete forms in the bottom of the secondary excavation.

So far, the change in floor plates as the building moves from triangle to rectangle is too subtle to see. All four of the floors facing the bridge look the same.

Thanks for the pics.

Looking down Howe the north end of the floorplate looks really narrow right now
- so it'll be really dramatic as it widens as it rises.

A little bit of progress on the glazing/cladding, but not much.
