How do the elevators work in that scenario?

They might be willing to have residents use “SkyBuild” elevators. There is a UT storey on the type of elevators used in this building:

I am speaking entirely hypothetically here when I say this...but even crane lifting a box of residents when need be could work...

...that said, I would strongly question our public regards to personal safety and livelihoods at this point...as this would be pretty much Atlas Shrugged on steroids when it comes value engineering here, IMO. >.<

What a difference a day makes! Here are photos I took yesterday:

Here are some photos taken just now. I have a gut feeling we'll see another floor pour tomorrow.

Great updates as usual. It seems they still have to layout out 50% of the floor rebar and conduits plus the blue bases for the cladding. I wouldn’t be totally surprised if they pour it tomorrow but I would wager on Monday. The forecast also calls for rain tomorrow afternoon so they may schedule it for Monday anyways.

It feels like they are moving along super fast with regard to finishing-type touches on the base.

Does anyone have an idea if this is because they intend to open the base before the tower is finished topping out?
Is that even possible?

The intent is to open at least the retail while the tower is still under construction. Not sure about anything else on the lower levels, but technically anything that's accessed by the secondary elevator core could be opened as it's not dependent on the tower above being completed.

Aura also opened its retail before the tower was finished, so this won't even be the first time something like this has happened in Toronto.

Thanks. So far, it's seems they pour the day after the electrical conduits start getting placed, so, you never know. I noticed a section of crane sitting on Yonge St just now.

Indeed. As long as precautions are taken to protect everyone from the construction above, it’s much better than having empty storefronts 7-8 years after construction is done (looking at the neighbour across the street).

When is this projected to be topped out?

seems the super columns had their first girth reduction? what floor did that happen on, when is next one?

I'm not sure about that, I don't think they change until 49.

Today. There is activity in the crane so perhaps there’ll be a jump soon.

I think they are adding another bracing to the crane beam.
