Happy to see a crane up, even if it is a bit of an old beater though.

As an aside, may I be allowed to remark that though not captured
perfectly in the picture, this is a chance to have one last look at the Royal Bank Tower nude. It is really one of the most regal buildings in the city.
Too bad it never had more profile than it did, maybe on Georgia? I suppose the West Hastings location is just as well.

Back to topic, current project is a shortened version of a similar, but
much large rbuilding in Toronto. Then there's the building a the foot of Georgia (??##,sorry) A lot of interesting variety coming to this block.

Thanks!
The one in the red steel form must be the tapered corner one, though it looks set back farther than in the rendering.

From Google Maps it looks like the last time it was cleaned was around 2009.
