How many floors are left? Does that mean by this time next year, if the pace maintains, the building will have topped out?
Will the lower floors be open and occupied before the top of the building is completed?

Cumberland Terrace makes a good counterpoint.

About 50 left, so even if they could do a floor a week every single week with absolutely no delays, it's a year. So no, it won't be topped out this time next year. But it will be extremely tall by then!

So they are currently forming vertical supports for the 45th floor that leaves 46 floors left to go if they do one a week. With the exception of the mechanical levels that normally take about 3 weeks, they should be looking at about short of a year to form out

Yeah, I've never understood the people who tout Yorkville as being a bastion for luxury, when Cumberland Terrace has been there the whole damn time. I think a lot of people want us to have our own "Rodeo Drive", but the realities of the city always seem to want to prove them silly.

Except the realities of our Canadian winters will have a vote on this. Things tend to really slowdown in Dec-Mar.

At this point, I would love to see a compilation of these overhead shots in order! It has been so awesome to watch this project go up. So far I am actually fine if it takes a little longer

I'm old enough to remember when Cumberland Terrace was upscale. In any case, Rodeo Drive has some pretty dodgy stuff on all sides.

Yorkville is pretty swanky - I challenge anyone here to walk confidently into the Prada store. I challenge anyone on this forum to *touch* anything in the Prada store. It's mildly terrifying.
Cumberland Terrace is its own special animal: a dying mall. But it fulfills its purpose. I always enjoy having a Teriyaki experience when I'm Christmas shopping in the area.

Most of the stores are void of customers, even on the busiest days. It’s almost like they overcharge to make up for big marketing budgets and low sales volume.
There’s a pastiche of swank, but you’ve got Indigo, Hakim, Winners, etc. And other than a few big luxury names, a whole bunch of fly by night independent boutiques hoping to rope in gullible customers trading on the Yorkville name.
It’d be nice if we stopped trying to shoehorn in superfluous luxury stores and let it more naturally develop for the growing local, less affluent population; realtors be damned.
