Rooftop frame coming around to the east side.
The rooftop mechanical penthouses will be nicely concealed.

Thanks for all your coverage!

Wasn't there some odd pessimistic guy on here that kept saying we wouldn't see this topped out until 2028 at the earliest?

What happened to them?

Thanks Zep!

Do you know what that helicopter was doing?

The helicopter was the reason I was in Stanley Park this morning, capturing the new Rodgers sign being installed.
I will post the video tomorrow morning in the Downtown Vancouver Updates, the video is being rendered now, takes 5 hours.

Ah, that explains the diifferent angle.
I was wondering what the green building in front was.
Must be Venus (on Georgia St.), I think.

Today, tower crane no. 1 is out of commission.

Disclaimer: My following observations might be all wrong.

Prepipng the crane for dismantly? If that's the case, I don't see it happenning until the weekend for safety and road closures.
All of the lights, the hook and line and a guardrail was removed.
Also the security camera was (re)moved from the mast of crane no.1 on to the mast of crane no.2

The top climbers were also installing a system for lowering crane parts? Those red brackets are bolted through the slab.















What it looks like by end of day, stay tuned.

Crane dismantling will continue tomorrow, top climbers left their load chains still hooked up to the tower crane.
I will be posting the full event when the job is completed.

Drone spotted, someone will be posting, perhaps Wolffkran?
