From Front St. the tower is starting to rise above the podium.
From the RBC web site:
June 2008
Construction continues on schedule. Concrete slabs are being poured for floor levels 26, 27, 28 and 29. Forming and pouring of the sixth and seventh floor slab in the north podium area will be completed. Curtain wall installation in the tower continues on levels 18, 19, 20 and 21 and will commence on the podium area. Elevator installation will continue in the high rise, mid rise and service elevator banks. Mechanical and electrical trades will continue with their rough ins throughout the tower floors including lighting, fire alarm and sprinkler systems. Concrete block and drywall board installation will continue on the tower office floors at the washrooms and elevator shafts, elevator lobbies and stairwells. The adjacent Ritz-Carlton project will complete the third floor podium slab pour and is starting the fourth and fifth tower slab floors.

What is with the pyramids around the trees. Is that an art piece?
Before British artist Anish Kapoor polished a stainless steel jellybean for Chicago, he cut aluminum wafers with a water-jet to create "untitled (mountain)", back in 1995.

The Ritz is just a Monday to Friday active site correct? Also, if they are using the mantis cement pouring technique, this should progress quite quickly no?

I think you are right... it should speed up significantly once they are just working on the tower portion as it has a significantly smaller floor plate than RBC.
great to see that little parkette full of life!

also once RBC is largely done I think you'll see this progress much more quickly, as more of the resources on site will be devoted towards the ritz

Those lego mountains have been there since the mid 90s and still haven't grown. Doesn't anyone water them?

Except for the fact that they are separate sites, being built by separate construction companies.
