Is it just me, or is this tower going up REALLY fast!
BTW when was it that it first started rising from ground level?

[mr.x]

amazing pics, thx for posting. it appears that the main tower is already half done (according to the pictures); that's 20 of the 40 floors.

it'll be interesting to see how they'll incorporate all the greenery:

I think they started early spring, but in the last few weeks it seemed to go really up fast, they are at half point and on the third level of phase two of the second tower, and on the second level for the rest of the complex.
It going to be an awesome complex when finished

I love that view.

There are now on floor 23 (level 21/40), so a little over halfway in height, they are climbing at exactly 1floor/week, The Abbott tower after the current floor will also start climbing at the same rate. Just a note the second tower isn't phase 2 as the whole project is techincally one phase.

It's starting to make it's impact on the skyline.

^ great shot!!! thx!!!!


and here's the construction update i made for it.....hard to believe it's more than half its final height (if only it was 600 feet like one of the other proposals):

this project will just sink into the skyline instead of making any change to it, though it is sticking up on the eastside. but i dont c how even shangri-la and ritz can change the skyline too much, as the overall shape and surrounding is just too dense and wide.

mmmm.... have you looked at the skyline lately or seen any photos? because it's quite obvious that the skyline has already changed dramatically b/c of shangri-la

ya, it changed to a flat skyline with a stick. we can't call that change, we need real change that is masculine and revolutionary. and gordon cambell's giving it to us with all the skytrain projects, that's a real man right there. we need 10 woodwards and 5 shangri-la with 3 ritz in 10 years. we need to dump the whole eastside into the ocean all at once, and welcmoe the big capitalists, who are the real consumers that can pay a lot for drugs and women, to live in the new community, so to boost up our local economy. so, the new downtown eastside. so, change.

"...we need real change that is masculine..." Why masculine? What Whisky are you drinking?

^clearly.

That numbering scheme is off, they poured level 25 yesterday, there is no 4th floor and it looks like you miscounted.
