This is probably one of the most "outside the box" buildings under construction in the city

Based on the initial projections for completing this tower it would appear that the time it took to complete the transition was not planned. It would be interesting to know what caused the slow down in construction over these past many months. Financing, materials/sourcing, engineering issues, etc?

Yesterday. The black accents at the sort-of podium levels are welcome.

Starting to fly up now- already on the 4th residential storey.

Will hopefully now silence all the critics saying this was moving at a snails pace. Evidently lots of work was done to support the construction of the tower and now we're flying.

Now we are, after a year of stagnation. I know it's complex engineering etc, but I have a friend who bought here, and his occupancy date has already been pushed multiple times, so it was almost surely longer than they planned as well.

I hope podium can handle the weight of those floors !

Agreed I would have figured something like adding an entire tower on what existed is amazing and would love to see some video of how it all was done some day... (internal structuring adding or changing..)
And people are still working in the existing parts yes, no? Thought I read that many pages ago.

I think you should !

Suspect that your sarcasm detection radar could do with a tune up......
