Is that a whole new floor since August 12th? Maybe phase 2 is finally taking off now?

Also, it's nice to see Altus free and clear of the crane now.

Great pics, excel! I drove by today as well and man, this tower is starting to impose. Looks really good from the west especially.

It is incredible how open-air the center of this complex will become despite these huge towers. That's at least how it currently feels even though maybe still a bit difficult to imagine without at least the forst 3 towers in place.

End of 2019 I heard!! Taking forever. Most concrete hi rise only take 3 1/2 years at the most . This one exceptionally sloooow.

That would be a very bad thing for the developer not to mention those that have purchased in bldg one. Purchase contract appears to have a drop dead date of dec 2018 and if missed the developer just hands back deposits. I'm over simplifying but I imagine that would not go over well in so many ways.

is the second tower going up now tallr than the first? or does it just look that way in the rendering?

thx for the updates

Well, Shape better get ready for a civil lawsuit from buyers if that was to happen

At the current rate they have another 25 or so weeks just to top out Tower1.

Plus probably 4 weeks to finish penthouse level concrete.

So lets say 30 weeks just to finish concrete.

That still leaves glazing and a mountain of interior finishing.

Dec 2018 seems possible, but wont be a cake walk, that's for sure.

If the buyers are in the green (market prices > what they paid), the majority of buyers will gladly keep their contracts and proceed to complete. If there is market meltdown and Shape misses their drop dead date and prices are down, then Shape be crying as buyers can walk away.

The glazing is following the new floors just a few below, some projects get no glazing until it has been topped out. Once a floor has widows they can begin interior fittings up to drywall.

True, they are about 10 floors below with glazing.

Still a heck of a way to occupancy though.

Once glazing is in, they can start working on a lot of the interior. More than half the tower should be weather tight by the end of this year and you can have crews working full time on interiors.

Shape will probably start renting out the first 32 floors first before letting condo owners to move in

Thanks for the awesome picture, Officedweller!

.... brings back some nice memories of walking my girlfriend (now wife for 20+ years) here in the evening just for the view (minus the towers) ...

That certainly is a nice picture. Not sure if this has been posted before but since there is an interest in the shops I thought I might post it.
