mcminsen gave us a great angle for showing its height, they should have had the breezeway going East to West for a better view of the curving facade.
I'll have to go see it again in person to see if there is a better sense of depth compared to photos.

Today flew tables for the 45th floor.

I think the wavyness is completely unnecessary, as is the change to the triangulated glazing at the scoopouts, both detract from the geometry of the building. I don't even want to live in a unit with weird shaped windows

I have a feeling that at least one of the cranes is starting to be its final height?

They could be of the same height, and yes they should already be at the final height. Going any taller would be unimaginable in Vancouver

I think the cranes have a more to go - the final height of the Butterfly is about 10 storeys above One Wall.

Yesterday

The beautiful curve glass has reached my sight of view (Don't be thrown by the thumb of the video, it's a tower structure overlay of how many floors to go)

Thanks RDW989, I will be taking a closer look late next week (waiting for a few more glass to go in).

This morning, no.2 crane lift. The tower cranes now have one more jump each.

Interesting there's that much of a variance in the gaps in the panels.

The cranes were already poking into the skyline, it'll be cool to see when they top out.
