I really noticed this build coming south on the Lionsgate the other day. It's not the tallest downtown, but it's close, and being a few blocks southeast of other tall builds makes it look huge.

It really stands out these days. It looms over a lot of downtown, especially Robson.

Today, Strip & Fly for the 55th floor. I am questioning my floor count, I may have counted one floor to many.
In 3 weeks we will know for sure by witnessing the retirement of table-forms.

You might notice a floor height change as well.

Yes we should look for "floor height change" and also the tops of some of the rebar cages will be terminal, tying in directly into the roof slab.

Yesterday, tower cranes have now reached their final height. Any thrill seekers (rooftoppers) out there?

If you count 10 floors down from the current top level is that center section where it transition maybe the 43rd floor? It changes from 6 units to 4/3/penthouse. I'm looking at the 2016 application though not sure if that was the last one.

I loss count when windows and that scaffolding was going up, lost my view of the slab. My guess now, the deck is the 54th floor.

Actually never mind it looks like they are fabricated after the floor decks are poured after looking back through some old photos.

Today, (video - Feb 09 and today). Captured 3 panels being installed.
The gif is the last panel they secured just before the winds really started blowing. The two cranes were on pause for an hour or so.

Today, Strip & Fly for the 55th floor.

Workers are now standing on a deck which is 15 feet higher than The Georgia and 2 feet higher than The Stack.
The Butterfly will soon be the #4 tallest in Vancouver when the next slab pour is done. (note: I did not go out there with my measuring tape , calculations are based on SSP's info and community postings)
