The last of these huge beams has arrived still on the flatbed.

Too many for one post sorry.

By the way, I love that they've now installed more campfire benches (seen in the last picture) all along Bloor. The original (roughly IFO the IBM building) is one of my daughter's favourite sites on Bloor at night, and a pleasant surprise for those who aren't expecting it.

The more @Benito posts, the better the resulting GIF will be.

Can't wait until this starts poking above the Yorkville Skyline.

Now that the 8 angled beams are up, what do we think the next step is? Like what does next week have in store for us? How long until the actual mega beams come into play?

And thanks for the great photos @Benito !

Yes they’re all installed now.

If you were unfamiliar with developments in the city and walked by this right now youd probably wonder what the hell they're building on this lot. Not that that's a bad thing

I'd expect the next step is for the 4 pieces that link each pair of angled support columns to be installed. After which they'd interlock these 4 pieces at the top with more steel. That would be the "Restaurant (Event Space)" floor.

The main super-columns will be much easier to install as there's no balancing act and interlocking required, so it can happen after the angle columns and still be ready at relatively the same time.

There's another group of angle support columns going up from the "Restaurant (Event Space)" floor! They're gonna have to do this jigsaw balancing act further up in the air in a few weeks again!

Will those beams be painted?
