I have my secret lair. All full of tech goodies that Batman, Iron Man, and James Bond covet.

Well, I don’t have a secret lair and I am not on Insta and I don’t have a Tesla, but there is no problems with wishing.

You We do however, have a $3M vehicle picking you us up everyday in a tunnel with a driver that drives for you us, with six cars, totalling $18M.

The vehicle?

June 26.
They are finally installing the cladding for the transfer slab on the north side.
Around this morning:

That’s what they’ve installed for the day.

That reflection is of 22 Front St W’s slanted gold looking windows.

After today’s installation.

 

[Bibi L]

From yesterday.
This is how they bring the cladding up.

And there it is, waiting.

More deliveries.

 

[GenerationLee]

How did you get your name on so much cladding? Not sure if I can keep with this level of craftiness!

 

[GenerationLee]

From yesterday.

I'm not backing down yet

 

[Bibi L]

Today and yesterday.
Today they finished installing the cladding on the north side and continued installing some on the east side. For some reason one window has not been installed on the north side.
They finally installed the last cladding for the 11th floor on the east side.
This is all that they installed for today.
Almost 31 floors. The “SKY” part was raised today.

These photos are from yesterday.

From yesterday, 30 floors seems level with 33 floors of surrounding condominiums.

The most insane part about this is as you look at this building it's not even a third of the way complete has picked up pace massively and is definitely showing why it is the biggest construction project in Toronto and also how inefficient the ones construction method is

This building is going up FAST wow!!! Talk about a well oiled machine/process.

There is no doubt that if your floors are 'cookie-cutter' then it is FAR easier to add floors as you can reuse 100% of the forms. This one is certainly moving very fast and it IS g=hard to believe it is only at about the 35% level!

While this is true (that floor forms repeat here... until they start to taper nearer the top)... when I think of cookie-cutter floors I can't help thinking of square or rectangular floor plates repeating (or even round)... not a fourteen-sided polygon floor plate (a tetradecagon or 14-gon) lol.

This cookie just seems harder to shape and bake... making me even more awed by the speed of the build.

True, but cookie cutters come in many shapes. Here is an Airedale Terrier one.
