They must have added sections to the crane, coming down 403 today, peak of crane now second highest structure in lower city!

Woah....that first photo is quite an eye opener. Loving the way the tower is asserting itself, like with the perspective on the final photo. Great update

This is the best looking development in Hamilton in years. No question.

Took some photos yesterday:

And for some reason they've added some advertisements on the east side of the tower but they're WAYY too small to be readable:

Here is to hoping that Vrancor can keep on rinse and repeating this sytle over and over again.

Pictures don’t do this building justice. L

I was looking at the Skyline from the 403 on my way back to Ottawa yesterday, and when observed from the highway as you descend the mountain, this building looks HUGE! It is really going to be prominent on the skyline when viewed from a distance in the future!

I noticed the same thing coming down the 403 yesterday. And the current height of crane is still a little lower than where the top of the building will end up. Gonna be nice to finally have a bit of change on the skyline for the first time in 40 years.

Took this one yesterday, I plan on taking one from the same vantage point when the tower is complete!

Loving that white beautiful addition to the sides.. although it makes the buildings around it look rather bland with their shades of brown.. but very nice

Really hope that parking lot doesn’t sit empty for long, the concrete podium is ugly af

I hope it gets covered up soon - cuz its gonna be grafitti heaven.

Now that the exterior cladding is going up it as much as it is, the building is really coming into it's own. As Chronamut mentioned, it is a nice contrast to the brown and beige buildings that are near it.

Can't wait to see this puppy surpass Bella Tower, and then Stelco...

SteelTown · #**478** Posted **Sep 10, 2018, 1:57 PM**

Driving on Main St towards the downtown, this building is impressive. Can't really see the glass yet, it's starting to peek out. It's so nice to see a fury of construction and redevelopment happening in the core.

lachlanholmes · #**479** Posted **Sep 17, 2018, 11:31 PM**

I was passing by on my way home today and took some pics:

Looks like the glass supplier is Toro Aluminum, which explains the clear quality improvement Vrancor Tower 1, 2 and 3:

This must be one of the most, if not the most, densest blocks in the city. Will only continue to intensify when the Bay/Main parking lot fills in and the King/Bay/Caroline parking lots fill in! Love it.

Dr Awesomesauce · #**480** Posted **Sep 18, 2018, 12:00 AM**

Nice set, thanks.

Any rumours circulating about the adjacent property between Hess and Caroline? Haven't heard anything for years. That's a big one for me. That and James N and King William.
