^Shortly after I took that screen shot, the camera updated to a new image, and there was two guys in that spot guiding a steel beam into place. I couldn't tell if one was the same guy, but it looked like work was happening yesterday evening up there.

I'm reminded of the aerial acrobat that swung from the beams of Glasshouse when it was under construction and posted their feat to Youtube.


Sounds like somebody ordered a web slinger.

18 is gone. Now it's just 20. Maybe next one will be 30?

If Skycity would have been built what a difference that and 300 Main would have made , hopefully Artis develops the lot west of 300 Main with another tall tower !!

After this foray, I'd be surprised if they ever built anything again.

I also noticed 360 Main in the skyline when driving on #1 westbound east of the city.

Bulking up...a bit

Now we only need some more buildings to the East, West and South of that cluster.

All we need are a couple midrise on parcel 4 and a couple highrise on main near earls and presto!

That whole dead swathe between union station in an arc towards the east exchange along the cn highline really kills the vibe and looks really stupid when viewed from any high point.
