Thanks for the update, really looking forward to see this one go up and its impact on the skyline.

Yessir. Between this project, Moon and The Beckett the west side of the skyline from the water is starting to fill out.

GeoNerd · #46 Posted **Mar 25, 2022, 7:13 PM**

Pouring at grade now.

It's been....so...so long since they started digging...

Harley613 · #48 Posted **Apr 3, 2022, 1:12 AM**

Today's Progress. I really hope the final product looks good, because this building will block a lot of really ugly buildings from a lot of angles.

Well put. My sentiments exactly!

A floor every two months seems to be the pace here!

At this rate we'll have an 18 story building in around three years from now!

Harley613 · #51 Posted **Jul 25, 2022, 9:06 PM**

Built by snails, I tell ya!

J.OT13 · #52 Posted **Jul 26, 2022, 7:12 PM**

Excruciatingly slow.

A shame those three houses remain. I guess the church (?) and surface parking lot are next up.

Personally happy to see the churches and three houses. Gives the area some layering in terms of building form and history.

The parking lot on the other hand, please develop ASAP.

If this building was a painting... I would title it...

"Molasses in winter"

I'm so eager to see that curved northward face. Giddy up.

We're starting to see the "curve"

Indeed! My ground photo shot from a short time ago wasn't really able to capture it.

You can now see it has a pretty decent radius to it. This has a lot of potential.

Looking forward to it drawing some eyes away from the other Cathedral Hill building whatever it called exactly. I'm not a fan of those bulbous balconies.

The townhouses down below are gorgeous though. Wish they would have carried that light grey stone and styling upwards.

My opinions align with yours around 80% of the time, but not this time. I like the other building. It's one of the only CharcWhites that I appreciate.

And it was one of the first ones, before it was trendy. It does have a bit of a strange shape, amplified by its location alone at the edge of the escarpment and its height, but I appreciate that it is different from anything else in the city. Looks like a very high quality build as well.
