That's what I thought too. The only way to avoid it I think is if they tint it with a different colour.

The green probably wouldn't even be noticed had they kept the shadow boxes. The spandrel is a disappointment even if it's a big upgrade from the regular stuff.

I think you're making more of it than there is. Don't believe everything you see in a rendering.

I take it you must have seen tests then? Did the reflection of the glass mostly hide it or something?

Caught this picture/angle...a bit of the new with the reflection of the old.

Brookfield's core doesn't seem to have risen in a while. The steel framing has almost caught up.
What gives - BC do you know why ?

jstarr · #8 Posted **Sep 26, 2015, 6:57 AM**

the core jumps every wednesday, as tuesdays are pour days. I saw them moving forms up on wednesday, they haven't missed a week yet. steel is just going up way faster at about three floors every two weeks, so they have been quickly catching up.

Blue_Cypress · #9 Posted **Sep 26, 2015, 8:17 AM**

Nothing wrong with the job. Steel erection is just ahead of schedule. Job is actually going exceptionally well. Walters Group, no shock at all.

How many floors/square feet did Cenovus lease in the building? I know they may be locked in for it now but I've got to think there are going to be some empty floors of theirs by the time they take possession.

20 I think? Downtown is a ghost town.

They took 1 million sq ft. They can probably take it all. But will be left to sublease their entire half of The Bow. Ouch.

My understanding is that Brookfield will be quite a bit cheaper than The Bow and it's actually financially prudent of them to move as much staff as they can to BPC.

The Bow is the most expensive real estate in the city (as far as I know)

It's one of the more expensive properties out there, but not the most expensive. The agreement started at $36.00 per sq foot, but increases over time at a rate of something like 1% per year. Most of the Class AA type space is around the $40.00 mark or higher.

Jay in Cowtown · #15 Posted **Sep 28, 2015, 2:37 PM**

So how many floors is this this thing climbing per week (on average)?

Wasn't it said on here that Brookfield will be topped by the end of May next year?

Thanks for the info guys.
