All that said, a separate post seems in order for the latest pics, from yesterday (although the shots from the Phase 3 pit are from Sunday evening):

There's precast going up on the Phase 2 building now, as you can see above. It's a mechanical penthouse from topping off now.

The windows were recently papered over, so what's taking place behind the paper, I have no idea.

There are about 80 buildings in the 4 to 6-storey range in the surrounding blocks, with very diverse ownership, so there's have to be some consolidation first. One of those buildings is being extended skywards at the moment, the only one to have been modified in many years, with no other applications in the area underway. I wonder — the area could use more renewal, but I'd like to see it happen without too much disruption for existing tenants if that were possible.

In the meantime, here's a week's worth of updates at this site:
