Got home from work yesterday and logged into SSP and "Oh my!". Excellent update madog222 and mcminsen. I was anxious to see what the camera had captured through the day.

Bravo!

Fantastic video, Zep.

I noticed the rooftop had gotten some bling while have a beer at Mt Pleasant Vintage and Provisions (great spot btw). We'll probably see it officially topped out before the end of June.

Great video Zep, we're getting very close to seeing the final silhouette.

Nice.
That frame is still hidden by the elevator overrun from my office view.

officedweller · #**1327** Posted **May 20, 2023, 1:09 AM**

Do you think there removed a level of precast frm that crown?
The rendering shows 3 courses of precast, while the steel frame shows 2 horizontal bars.

There must be one more level of steel to come after this ring is complete, not all at once for the sake of stability.

Amazing video Zep! Thoroughly enjoyed that.

Here are the first 2 segments being installed and RDW989 captured the remaining segments for the day being installed.
One butterfly wing (for 2 floors, one height section still to be added) was completed today.

Poor Zepfancouver. There will be a grieving to get through when the cranes are gone and the finished thing just sits there day after day. I hope your sight lines find another target. The coverage has been great.

Zepfancouver may not have as clear a view, but there are three towers of comparable height planned just to the west of the Butterfly...

View from my window.
The CURV, if I'm lucky, half of that tower but 1157 Burrard we will have full view, even the podium in the winter time. SSP can't get rid of me that easily

I can also step into the hallway and get a better angle through the window wall 20 feet from my doorway.
Yes, I'm still pitching my proposal to Concord Pacific for the St-Paul redevelopment

officedweller · #**1335** Posted **May 25, 2023, 10:43 PM**

The model seems to show only 2 bands of precast above the roof:

As do the renders on Westbank's and Revery's websites, that one on Vancouverpresales looks out of date.

officedweller · #**1337** Posted **May 25, 2023, 11:35 PM**

Pic by me just now - frames installed for the next cylinder with one level of precast:

Zepfancouver · #**1338** Posted **May 26, 2023, 12:27 AM**

Yes, the ironwork in the above photo confirms its final height, was hoping for more

At least the elevator overrun doesn't seem to be higher than the steel framework.

It's wrapped in one of those sections. Here's the roof diagrams:

There's a 12 foot high mass damper up there as well
