Seems like the darker section has no backing, so you're seeing through the bricks into the darker space behind. AHK has some photos of these sections being unloaded.

I thought I read that they intend to install more permanent safety netting around the 1st mechanical level. My guess is the cladding scaffolding would have to ascend past the mech. level before this is possible? That scaffolding seems to move quite slowly, so difficult to say how long.

It's likely been mentioned before, but the mech. box has curved corners like the rest of the building. Nice detail.

I hope I am wrong, those cut out corners are great. Heres something to illustrate what Im referring to. red = diagonal beams placement green = height of mechanical section That floor like slab thing is in the middle of the mech section. Hopefully @khaldoon is right and that is just temporary...

Really appreciate the photos, everyone. Thank you. Im noticing the way the mechanical floor is being constructed might not line up with the rendering. The rendering shows the mechanical missing the corners of the building, while in the photos above, the floor corners seem to have been poured...

I remember when this place used to be called The Urban Toronto Forum .com . . . time flies.

This is breathtaking. I especially like the use of orange light in the lobby/ restaurant. Gives warmth to all that exposed concrete.

Yep, that corrugated cladding above the glass wasn't included in the mockup, but it's all over the rendering (between most of the floors). Heres hoping it turns out like the examples in your link! :)

There's a dirty joke in there somewhere . . .

The strike cannot extend past June 15, and at time they would have to go to automatic arbitration. They could settle at any time, bit the strike will be 6 weeks max.

Maybe it's a design revision to add structural strength? The revision having been done after the manufacture of the super columns, required a bit of creative thinking?

So is the big pour still on for tomorrow?

I think someone said the pour was scheduled for Oct. 15.

Looking at these recent photos gives me a sense of foreboding, and impending doom (cladding).
