One technical closeup shot (working in the lowest overhang section with the cabling which may have something to do with the lighting?) And three big picture shots.

It's not. Fabricland will now be moving into the space from next door when the building is complete in 2028...

Imagine if the tenants were Fabricland and Canada's largest Dollarama lol

Thanks for the continued updates, everyone.

What a great angle. This shot really illustrates how great the intersection will look when this thing tops out.

Here are some shots taken today, Tuesday (July 25). A crew was adding one of the last pieces of "ceiling" cladding on the first level, with the north face now entirely cladded. Activity on the RCS as it seems they are now starting to install cladding behind the black scaffolds, if what a few of the workers there told me is accurate. Added over the last few days are some small scaffolds on top of the truss sections by the super-columns, and the working platform has now been added, flush to the side of the tower, on the north RCS, as can be seen in the underside view. Finally, a shot of two workers on a scaffold on the east side, testing it, as they prepare to do water tests on the exteriors - Friday, I was told.

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?

I think it's entirely possible for residents to move in while the building is still adding floors...so yes. The deciding issue though is whether that's safe.

How do the elevators work in that scenario?

How do the elevators work in that scenario?

All depends what kind of elevators are used in this project. If it is a full traction elevator, there could be beams set up in the hoist way at different points to create interchangeable levels to allow elevators to be installed and operate while building construction is still underway and then final gear system is installed on buildings completion to make elevators fully functional for the entire building

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.
