Is it just me or does the core seem huge relative to the overall floorplate of the building?

no man, i was thinking that too...is it necessary or a waste of space? seems like a waste to me, just build the core smaller and put some support columns down.

Yeah it does, but look at the bright side, this building will have an extremely nice profile. Tall and Slim.
I think they wanted to keep the floorplan open concept.
The elevator core should get smaller somewhere in the mid point or at the 1/3rd and 2/3rd height level as all elevators don't need to go all the way to the top.

Let's just hope that the economy doesn't crash all of a sudden. Then we could be left with Stump version 2.

It's not just elevators in the core, there's washrooms, ducts, service spaces, exit stairs etc.
They never waste space when they build these things.
The architects and engineers that design these buildings all have degrees; lawyers work on behalf of developers to get every square inch of buildable space the city (or OMB) will allow; real estate brokers make a commission on every square foot they are able to lease.
It's not a bunch of kids building this city.

I hope this thread doesn't collapse under the weight of "huurrr stump v2.0" comments.

Sometimes though, you do have to wonder...

That's because you excluded some members of city council from your list.

Is this the start of the steel framework?

They moved the forms up, right on schedule.

Ah, the telltale bump!

Today that rectangle was moved up, and is now aligned with the steel posts anchored to the concrete core:
It sure looks to me like this is the start of the steel framework. From the image, the construction workers could not begin attaching steel to the core until the pouring framework was bumped up to its current level, to allow room for the two-story rectangles to be attached (since the podium level is triple height).
