I can get some tomorrow morning. I am always impressed in all of the engineering that goes into a build like this. Any idea why they shaped it like this?Cool! Pictures if you get a chance!

Was a final height found?

Is that the beginning of the elevator shaft in the centre? If so, it looks like it would only hold about 3 or 4 cars. Much to small for a building of this size. Then again, I'm probably totally wrong.

I think there are six cabs that serve various residential levels at One Bloor compared to Aura's nine cabs (sort of comparable buildings). One Bloor has less suites per floor and a fewer residential levels than Aura (69 levels vs. Aura's 74 levels, give or take).

Another big pour happening right now. The pit is pretty well filled in.

- Where it's urban. And dense.
I understand that concrete is incredibly expensive these days--even to pour some steps in one's yard, never mind doing a concrete pool, is exorbitant. Be interesting to know what it costs to pour something like that...

I can't imagine the cost. The World Trade center tower in New York is using some new super hard concrete in it. The core with the elevators 100+ stories high is 6' thick. Imagine the cost of that.
Cement companies in Toronto must be working 24/7 just trying to keep up with the demand in this city, with no end in sight. Having a cement plant is like owning a Timmies. A license to print money.

Probably why Lafarge blasted the original design for the Portlands. I imagine they've been making money hand-over-fist and don't want to leave any time soon.

That is a ton(s!) of re-bar down there. I wonder if this will surpass the Four Season's 4,100 cubic metre pour in 2008;

There are more levels of steel to be laid and the pour originally scheduled for Boxing day, now likely to happen in January. The pour will be less than that of the Four Seasons. The big machines in the hole were scheduled to be lifted out this morning, and the large machine on top was moved yesterday.
