Bets on the number of UrbanToronto pages when the building is topped out? This is a very active thread (for good reason, I'm pretty damn excited)

This is exciting! I guess the next step after all the columns are in place is to fill them with concrete?

Interesting - I was expecting some boltholes at the top of that beam. Maybe that shaped sheet metal is covering some sort of slot for a pin/slot connection?
Another interesting thing - you can see higher circumferential rebar densities in the supercolumn where it connects to other elements (the diagonal beams, presumable floor beams at the top).

Jesus. Those really are SUPER columns!
I guess they’ll have 82x4 one story versions of those coming up? Or will the tower be built in a more traditional manner above this?
whatever

I have no inside knowledge, but columns often span multiple floors. The columns down low might be single storey (on account of how large the storey is), but I'd imagine they'll be multi-storey as the building advances

Humble request, when folks are walking around the site at ground level - try to get a nice wide-angle shot when possible! Will greatly help the progress drawing.

Skycandy’s photos are better but here are a couple more.

That temporary bracing appears to be welded right onto the beams. Not that I am surprised at this...as they really don't want those to go anywhere before they become supports for the building proper. So I am going to figure.

My F5 button usually only gets this much wear and tear during the NBA offseason. Except we all know this free agent is signing.

I would love to see a cross section of the Super Column.
