Can't see anything on the NE corner.

Maybe just the crane base is in or in progress?

Is it just me or is it taking them an unusually long time to finish this hole?

A project coordinator for this project commented on one of my YT videos from June 20, 2023 "Our bulk excavation finish will be mid October..."
For all we know, they might be finishing up this week, I will check it out this week, on Tuesday or Wednesday.

My daughter will be disappointed. We walk by this site every morning on our way to the bus and she is a big fan of the "digger".

Looks like she will be enjoying at the least another month of digging.

No action, the telescopic excavator was down for repairs or maintenance.

Interesting. It was functioning fine Tuesday morning.

A drone show I took of the hole last month while in town:

Just saw a tower crane cab headed into the downtown core.

Yes, mast was up last night but the jib was not up as of this morning. It looked like counterweights were being delivered though, so installation of the jib could be iminent.

It's been said before about this project and I'll say it again: holy parking stalls!

Apex was just going up at 9:00am. Going to be real nice to see this out of the ground. Alberni is going to get supper busy once 1450 Georgia gets off its ass.

Have they done anything since they put up that hoarding along the sidewalk?

If we're talking about 1698 W Georgia, the tower on Bidwell and Georgia, they started excavation 2 weeks ago (I think it's been 2 weeks by now).

CCRC · #**456** Posted **Sep 24, 2023, 3:43 PM**

Any photos of the crane?

gaviscon · #**457** Posted **Sep 25, 2023, 6:17 AM**

Passed by yesterday when they were erecting the crane near midnight:

shouldnt the thread title now be U/C?

madog222 · #**460** Posted **Oct 13, 2023, 6:01 AM**

Not to bring up this can of worms but it doesn’t look like there has been any concrete poured besides for the crane base.

Anyway we don’t have active moderators to keep threads updated anymore, there are many threads for buildings finished multiple years ago still listed as U/C. Leftcoaster is the only mod that posts on the Vancouver sub forum with any regularity and they aren’t even a designated Vancouver mod.
