Awesome shot Mike! The CBD looks amazing at night time! (esp. royal bank plaza).. the lights atop FCP look like glowing candles

Yes and no.... Yes because there's no BIG NEW features to be built, (aside from the Ritz logo thats not up yet)... all thats really left is finishing touches which aren't the most eventful...

I think he was referring to the scaffolding at FCP.

Nice vantage point... what's the OMERS reception?

The toronto dominion centre has been very well maintained considering how old it is... though i'm not a huge fan, these towers look good. (though they're way too many of them if you ask me... too dominant in the cbd)

On the contrary, I really like TDC, just how simple and... black they are really stands out and actually looks good.
Looks like 3 (4?) giant domino pieces, very sharp.
Though I agree that they're enough for the city, no more need to be built like that.

close... by my count they've been at that level for 4 weeks now.

That scaffolding went up to the top floor of FCP at the end of May

according to their website it's supposed to take approximately 3 weeks per floor... how many floors is that scaffolding currently covering?

Four floors -- according to their video the two lower floors will be having the old cladding removed, and the top two floors will be having the new cladding installed. The standard movement would be two floors down.

according to the video it will take 2 weeks per 2 floors aka one floor per week (not sure why they worded it that way).
