Cool! I wanted to see that, even more, I wanted to capture it, but no luck.
Here's a comment from one of my Fifteen Fifteen videos
I didn't get the invite, maybe I was asking for to much
A glass pane is up on the building’s west side. More needs to go up before passing judgement but seems fine at first glance.
Not sure how to upload a photo from mobile though…
Sorry, I did not have my extended selfie stick to look over that west hoarding wall and to many workers at or near the fencing for me to sneak a photo
I will try again the next time I drive by this site.

I believe the deck is now the 8th floor, the first cantilever is on the 15th floor.
Some details on the engineering behind the cantilevered boxes. So similar to Telus Garden/Deloitte Summit.. I guess they'll tie into those steel columns that are already visible on the bottom section of the tower.

On Fifteen Fifteen, Buro Ole Scheeren and the Bosa team presented us with the lofty challenge of designing protruding cantilevered glass-encased observatories overlooking Stanley Park. The original free-form sketches help illustrate the engineers’ inventiveness—rough ideas evolving into more refined drawings which eventually result in granular fabrication drawings down to the nuts and bolts.

For the cantilevered spans, full-height trusses were chosen for their expression and inherent stiffness. The cantilevered boxes introduce larger vertical and horizontal forces back on the base-building. Steel columns were chosen to facilitate the connection and erection of the steel pods and to carry the vertical loads down to the foundation within a more slender profile. Concrete was chosen for the floor slabs and central core for its higher stiffness and strength in resolving the horizontal loads. The cantilevered units are anchored back into the building with DWYIDAG rods encased in the concrete that extend the length of the floor plate. Marrying steel and concrete requires careful detailing and consideration of their inherent properties.
Is it over by the office tower closer to West Georgia? Seems odd that they would need a second crane.
Current one is in the middle of the site (I think that's still going to a plaza) and the 2nd one is on the N-W side (Alberni) of the building right up against it
Yeah if it was a traditional tower it probably wouldn't be needed. Details on the first crane

With a lifting capacity of a staggering 35,270lbs at a working radius of 40m, this luffing crane is Canada's second largest of its kind.
This milestone marks the completion of bulk excavation, approximately 56,000m3 of dirt, of Fifteen Fifteens’ 8-level parkade. Next, we will progress through detailed excavation, the core, and footings, then it's out of the hole we climb!
