Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

I believe it is supposed to be steel.

I think it will be a pretty awesome sight in about 6 months, when the cranes of all present tower projects start to poke their heads out amongst the skyline.

It's been like that for years now. Earlier this summer I could see 8 cranes from my place, and I can't see City Place or RBC & the Ritz or BAC from home.

Bah! Cam isn't working for me.I wish they weren't using Java. Such a piece of crap.

A few pics from yesterday, I must have just missed the lifting of the forms, but they were already putting the rebar for the next level in. However only the outer forms have been lifted. The center as of yesterday had not been raised.

They are about halfway to getting the first level ready:

Thanks for the update.

Nice work!

Your photo shows that the forms were raised.

Thanks for those updates. I didn't realize how large it was until I saw the last pic comparing the construction worker with the core.

Hopefully I'll get some updates on Sunday.

This is the biggest skyscraper constructed in Toronto since BCE Place 1989-1991... it's bigger than the 2 baby skyscrapers( Maritime life and canada life ) and Simcoe Place 1996

Great update!

Man, construction workers are really talented. The amount of work that goes into these things is insane.

Hey, didn't someone promise some big news about this project?

If you are referring to my info... there was a slight design change. The wings are gone from the design and the LED feature has been canceled.

I hope that means it's getting taller . like say 5 stories taller.

Tuscani just said it was a minor design change to the roof over at SSC.

There go my hopes and dreams...

tuscani you little devil, I'm reporting you to Ryerson Alumni Association...

Might as well, since they call my house at least twice a month looking for cash.

So now this building is even duller.

We might as well close the thread on this one.
