Find it pretty disappointing how this dramatic expression stops 5 stories above the street on a mostly rectangular podium. The Georgia side is better, but I dont know why they couldn't make it relate more on this side too

Dramatic = no office floorspace

The podium is angled with open plaza to preserve views of Library Square.

The rendering in the Hive article shows the back - the flat wall abutts the former Ford Theatre.

This is the alley side and the blank wall abuts the theatre.

The Homer side has mostly open plaza.
Currently, there are 4 temporary support columns (the rusty ones) that will be removed once the structure above becomes self-supporting.

The columns circled in orange will eventually be removed.
Though the one on the far right might be in the render above(?), which would be unfortunate.

There's a road closure for Saturday at 250 W Pender St. VCC but no idea what's happening there. I think 177 West Pender is starting construction soon as well.

There's another lift for 325 Carrall on Saturday.

Great updates. Couldn't be more pleased with something this radically different going up in Vancouver. That intersection of Georgia and Homer is going to have some of the most diverse architecture in the city: the Library, "Deloitte Summit", The Post, and the refreshed office building on the other corner. Step it back to the end of each respective block and one adds a large urban theatre (currently a church) and a hotel, an office tower as part of Library Square, the full-block beast of The Post, the new Amazon office building at Homer and Pender, some smaller-scale retail-office buildings on Georgia, and the Telus HQ. Pretty neat.

I think this opening is for a glass floor.
... and the connection on the top of that post (on the right) doesn't look permanent, so that corner cube will be cantilevered out A LOT.

Steel construction is so interesting to see going up! So fast, and so much structure to examine. And it's not hidden away in formwork like concrete is.

I sure felt bad for the crew last week in the cold - THAT couldn't have been much fun. You just can't wear warm enough mittens to defend against the cold steel, and still be able to actually DO anything. Bitter. I do admire the work crews who keep on working in the cold or the pouring rain. Been there done that, and so relieved I don't anymore!

Agreed. One Bloor in Toronto is another project that is just going to be bonkers to watch. It's already fascinating and it's not even yet at grade. Here's a good post with recent photos: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=7063

Woah, that's interesting!

That one has REAL supercolumns.

Pics by me today.

The temporary supports under the two corner cubes facing Georgia have been removed.
Look at that cantilever!

This is going to have quite the street presence. Thanks for the update. Can't wait to check this one out in a month.

Thanks McMinsen. That first photo of your really shows off the varied urban texture of the last couple decades of downtown CBD shoulder development. Looks pretty great to my eye and Deloitte Summit will be a positive addition.

Wonder if this building will age well. Maybe too radical.
