Action shots by me Saturday, Nov 16th.
I've seen them stop traffic on Smithe while hoisting the forms,
but not this time.

First window wall is up today.
They have built a short concrete (?) sill on which the window wall sits.
Not sure why that is, but presumably for weather protection from pooling water since the window wall is setback from the slab edge.
The window wall is also set between two steel stud framed walls, so there is the delay in framing each opening.
Pic by me today.
From yesterday's pic - showing the sill.
I just realized that they cut back the framed walls that they had built.
Pic below from Nov 5th where the walls go almost to the slab edge.
The current state is about a foot back from the slab edge
(you can see the recesses in the underside of the slab for venting)

PS - the ledges match the rendering
(although the rendering shows the transfer slab with no ledge, as-built, it has a ledge)
Mullion configuration is different though.

Pics by me today:
Fire sprinkler pipes are in on the office floors.
Looks like they'll have bare ceilings (sprinkler heads point up).
Note the orange marks on the ceiling marking the columns above.

Bye bye view of Harbour Centre...
Not sure if The Post will poke out above, probably not.

Glad to see the darker cladding instead of the usual light blueish green color.

Yes, they were moving forms in those wind gusts.
They've moved some tarps, so you can see the transfer slab for the penthouse floors.
This rendering shows a setback for the top 3 floors.
Another render from below seems to only show 2 penthouse floors, but this one shows 3 (and 3 penthouse floors makes 26).
