Just wondering why the column attachments and lower I-beam are being painted white while the rest of the framing on the building is grey...

It might be intumescent paint. I'm not sure of the ratings on beams of that size.

They will be outside. They may deal with the indoor beams later.

I like to think that for all the conversation over the years, that this becomes another beloved building like the OCAD/Alsop tabletop did over the years. (Hard to imagine that one will be 20 in a couple years, and a little funny/sad that the first post in this forum was just over 16yrs ago)

I wonder what this truck is doing. Blowing air into the ground to loosen the soil, prior to pouring concrete? Or something else?

Looks like a vacuum excavator so sucking up the dirt. My sons favourite truck after a fibre install on the street.

I think jsmith77 was referring to the first post in this thread - and it was by you, AoD! In 2006. The North Market has been sixteen years in development.

I love it when the finshed product ( yep, jumping ahead a wee bit ) is better than the renders.

In spite of a certain former president who shall remain unnamed, orange is once again my favourite colour!
