Did realize how visible this was going to be from that area. Love the fact you'll mostly see the office buildings instead mostly condos shown in this pic.

CIBC SQUARE Community Open House – April 5th

In early 2021, we began construction to support Phase II of CIBC SQUARE at 141 Bay Street, following the demolition of the old GO bus terminal which formerly occupied the site of 141 Bay. Once complete, 141 Bay Street will add 1.5 million square feet of office space in a 50-storey premier class AAA office tower. The new building will be connected to Phase I of CIBC SQUARE – also known as 81 Bay Street – by an elevated park that bridges across the rail corridor connecting the Financial Core to the Southcore and Waterfront neighbourhoods.

We invite you to join a virtual open house to learn more about the current phase of construction at CIBC SQUARE on Wednesday, April 5th at 6:30 p.m. Please pre-register to attend at the following link. A video conference link will be sent to all registrants closer to the date.

Sugar Wharf Condos Phase 1 is almost completely obscured from my vantage point (Union Station's upper-level east entrance where the bike racks are).

Insane how much weight stress the core of phase 2 is taking when complete. both sides of the tower angled in to it!!
Marvel of engineering.

Reminds me of the cantilever structure used on The Royal Atlantis in Dubai I worked on in terms of steel structure, but this is way more weight, i.e. whole building.

At 6:30ish of the video below, you can see the cantilever structure I'm mentioning.

reminds me personally a lot more of 150 North Riverside in Chicago:

Riverside office tower in Chicago by Goettsch Partners rises from sharply tapered base

Goettsch Partners has completed a skyscraper with a compact footprint that responds to its placement next to active train tracks and the Chicago River.

They may wobble, but they don't fall down... 🙀

Would've been a really neat if they used the structural form to emphasize the diamond facade. I guess they needed a lobby though

Probably not much difference from the last member to post pics but I feel kind of obligated to contribute:

Monday night.

CIBC Square construction team: just getting the job done!

Yonge street is open to regular traffic. A little more clean up to do on Backstage and they will be one step closer for the new bridge.

The structural steel on the east side of the core is moving along nicely.

The core looks like it should be operating at full speed any day.

The ground floor steel will be up before you know it and maybe the P2 and P1 levels completed before summer starts.

The CIBC Square community open house should provide some good updates next Thursday Wednesday night.
EDIT - My mistake. The meeting is Wednesday April 5.
