The crane was lifted today - but not by much (maybe 2-4 sections?)
I assume that the high winds over the weekend was preventing the lift earlier (?)

I don't usually comment much around here, but I just wanted to say thanks! It's really fascinating to see this kind of choreography in action

Excellent video.

Besides the two chains, is that a control cable (the thin one) coming off the crane . . . so the crew on the structure can control the chains as they handle the form?

Marshal, you focused my attention on that pulley (not sure the name of it)
After watching it again, it does control slack and taut on the one chain to help maneuver and balance the table form.

It's been a while since I have been on a highrise site during a flying form lift. The last time was at the Fortis BC tower at Georgia and Thurlow. It went pretty smoothly, but was nonetheless a hard job. Those guys would have loved to have that kind of control over the lift.

Thank you all! These were taken from Kitsilano, around 4th and Vine, with a 400mm equivalent.

Thanks for all the updates guys!

How many floors left to go?

20 or 25ish?

This will be 2020’s tower to watch in Van.

2021 will be exciting though with The Butterfly taking shape.

Will the Stack be topped out in 2020 or 2021?
