I've been noticing that outward slope too, but couldn't tell if it was lens distortion in the photos. It really looks like it's sloping out. Edit: The floorplans say the terraces are stepping in, but it really doesn't look like it in photos

Knocking 4 or 5 inches off the floorplate's length isn't going to do much to speed up the process. It's still basically the same forming, and the concrete will have the same cure time. I guess maybe after 20 floors of stepping back it might get a little faster?

Something dark will contrast well against that faux stone lattice, too. It should look ok

He wasn't exactly walking the floors and picking out issues like that. I could point to tons of finicky little details like that on that building

I don't know if it was a factor, but the interior stair did crazy things when the falsework got stripped and it was a disaster to clad and finish it. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened on the exterior barnacle stair, and it just didn't get the same level of TLC to fix...

I don't know if it's the case here, but quite often on these residential buildings they don't really do layout or follow grid on the balconies, so the idea is to just follow the slab with typical pieces and then they leave out one piece that they'll field measure and custom fabricate to fit that...

Oh, is that the railing system right above the heritage? If it is, that's pretty sharp. Hopefully that's what they use all the way up

Do a transition. Continue the black border to create two separate areas. Then it masks that the two sections of white tile don't align

Two elevators. But still, pretty bare bones for a terminal/anchor to the line

Pretty sure the second crane is still there. It was there yesterday, and it'd have been awfully windy to take it down today

I'm a little surprised they were able to register the sold units with all those liens on the development. I'm not sure what the plan ever was for the commercial side. It seemed like there was no effort at all to get to any of the base fit-out

Driving home I noticed the bridgework for the Lower Don bridge is progressing. The first pair of falsework uprights to support the arch have been installed, so we may see that take shape pretty soon

Saw the first couple pieces of steel up on the danceflloor for the lower Don bridge. Looked the first pair of pieces for the truss. Had attachment points for where the arch will eventually connect

I've been inside 207 and 209. There's not much to save in there

If it was flat it wouldn't fit on the truck.
