I have a very good feeling about how M3 is going to look from this angle.

Interesting design, but I do wonder how well they will handle high wind loads. The angles may make it difficult to shed winds - could to get a lot of sway in these buildings I would imagine.

That is why they are incorporating liquid based wind mass dampers at the top of these buildings. Have a look at bangkok’ arial photos of M1 on the previous page.

Here is the vendor describing it:

Interesting - I’ve never heard of liquid mass damping before.

So those 2 big rectangles things are just going to be filled with water? Is there much more to it or is that how the damper works?

Here is a well done video from YouTube that explains the types and differences among tuned mass dampers:

Today. It looks like the concrete pump has been removed from the top of M1. It shouldn’t be long before the crane is taken down.

As per the last communication from builder - "The next communication and update that we send out will be when the M1 tower is topped off and will include an update and your final tentative occupancy date and we are expecting top off to happen approx July/August" . Did anyone hear any further update ?

 

[royalcanuck]

It hasn't been topped off yet, so no. Probably in the next 2-4 weeks we will hear an update.

I guess it depends on what their official definition of topping off is. They have nearly finished the mechanical floor on M1 and just started building that on M2.

Why is it Mississauga has some of the more interesting architecture?
