Love this development but still wish they would've questioned themselves on their use of 'mirrored' glass, due to its fowl impact on the environment. The finish is absolutely awesome depending on the light, but also often disappears from the skyline due to it. A slightly different tint would have maybe been even more dominant? On sunny days the office towers (will) nearly blend away within the blue sky. Well, obviously nothing's perfect. You can't please all of the people all of the time, but you can please some of the people some of the time, and....

Reason: no need for a complete clubbing
The Nutrien tower is now emerging dominant with its up-and-coming floor-rise. Can anyone capture a pic from the freeway bridge? Or the East Bank?
Regina, don't cry. :>) We're all under the same living skies, and we are family! The Roughriders and Rush prove it! (And Rattlers?) NOOoooooooo! Sports were so long ago, but let's hold on to hope for a better, more intelligent future. Cheers!
I'd love to take a lot of shots from the Buckwold Bridge this summer, especially once we're in full green, but that half of the bridge with the walkway is closed until fall for repairs. Will have to wait until next year for a vantage of the finished product!
mitchellk12, I so wish this was 93 metres. That would mean the announcement of another floor - they've done it before - and they've still got time! Cheers;>)

Do you get these subtle hints?
As much as we'd all love to see another floor (or more) on this building, in the immortal words of Bradley Cooper:
The floor layouts for the Nutrien space on the upper half of the building are largely done and modifications to the rough-ins in the concrete slabs have already been made to accommodate those layouts.
Haha! And right! They're actually doing some open(?) staircases between the top 4 floors, right? Very cool.
Well, that's that, then.
(Obviously. I've just been trying to get the moderator to fix the thread title for a year.)
Looks like they'll have to bump the webcam soon. By the end of the week - hopefully - this'll be over the (frame) top! It would be great to have a wider perspective now.

The old building has a winding staircase up to the top floor but the new one will not. The layout is very techie/modern in the new one where not many have offices and it’s more cubicle focused - a lot of people being moved from offices to cubicles. People visiting the tower will go to the top floor for reception which will be very neat to get a whole experience of Saskatoon from the top!
Looks like they are placing the forms for the 17th floor, which as noted previously will be 1.5 times the height of the 16th and lower floors. Then comes the 18 "atrium" level (which on the south tower is equivaent to 3 floors). So there is still a lot to go. The building looks huge from the Nassar plaza, which my last picture totally fails to capture.
