They raised the forms this morning? That would mean they're on the 41st floor now. The core narrowing was the 40th.
I may have to divest myself of my floor-counting duties as I can't see the top of the core on the webcam anymore.

Only 13 More floors to go, so I don't think it's a big deal.

Where in the photo does it show the building narrowing? The photos before presented the building as uniform and of similiar width...
However, you are right with the narrowing. If you look at the top of the building where the wooden scaffolding is, they have removed one section. This would suggest they are going to install the scaffolding closer to the centre...

The envelope of the building doesn't narrow only the core does as not all elevators run to the top floors.

A couple pictures from Doors Open.
And this last one just because I like the shot.

Boy, First Canadian Place looks terrible. Weren't they supposed to be replacing the marble by now? Hmm, wrong thread...

Is FCP undergoing exterior renovations? If not, it should soon. This shot brings out how really ugly the exterior is looking these days.

The contrast in that image is so dramatic one is tempted to assume that it has been enhanced. In any case, it does show that the panels are gradually being replaced.
...with more marble. There was news at one point of a wholesale replacement regime to start with white granite, like Chicago's AON Centre got.

My polarizer seemed to really enhance its ugliness. Also I did a pass with the curve editor while processing the shot, but I assure you FCP was that noticeably bad up close.

Yes, interchange, and by the time they finish it'll probably be time to start again.

egotrippin: though it isn't in shade, the slightly raking sunlight on that face probably contributes to the effect as well.

The contrast of new marble and old looks disasterous. In fact, from the Expressway it looks embarrassing. For a bank to showcase its signature logo on such a dirty marble building, what does that say for branding? This should be a top priority to fix - clean - or redo the marble.
Money is the only reason I'm assuming this has not happened sooner.

Perhaps BeeeeMo are aiming for an edgy, rich/poor and "multicultural" look for their landmark tower?
