wow! Are you in need of a psychiatric assessment? Cause it sure looks that way.
I am not anti-condo, nor I was complaining. I was just stating how impressed I am with the speed of the construction. You really need some help.

Easy there chief. Wasn't criticizing you at all. No need to go on the personal attack.

Getting closer to grade!

What are those two super-reinforced zones? Why so much rebar right there?

It could be a small transfer beam of some sort, just a guess though.

You are correct,they are for transfer beams to take the load of offset pillars above.

This should win an award for "fastest project out of the ground - ever".

For a building of this size, yes.

Up at Yorkville Condominium site, they will be at grade by month end. When did they start on that one and a lot faster than most??

That large area of rebar was the footing for 2 columns that should be pour any day.

The north-east corner waiting rebar before it can be pour as step up.

The end of June is looking good when the whole ground floor should be pour with work taking place on the 2nd floor

End of June at grade? Brings a tear to my eye.

Terrific pics, thanks! I can't believe how fast they're building, they'll be at street level in no time!
