According to the first post on this thread towers A and B are the two shorter towers in the development.

Like Meatloaf says - "2 out of 3 ain't bad." So the Northern tower and the Southwest tower...I wonder if the "Podium" as labelled on this first page is part of this phase......

Nothing too exciting to see yet, but some signs of activity.

Also, 81st Ave is in dear need of some streetscaping. Boulevard trees please. (And probably some bike lanes too.)

So happy to see activity on this site. They seem to be going full steam ahead here and likely want to get as much excavation done as possible before winter sets in.

I am curious if the city plans on expanding the sidewalks here and narrowing the street once this is fully built out. That road is huge and while it will be useful for construction equipment to come in and out over the next few years, it doesn't serve a purpose beyond that and reducing its size gives businesses a chance to set up patios and get some trees in there like fromyeg suggested.

Work continues. From yesterday.

Do we reckon 1or 2 cranes?

At least 20.

 

[Clearshades]

If the whole parkade is built out then yes. 1 crane can reach a distance of roughly 1/2 block if situated correctly

 

[MCXavierL]

1 erection should be sufficient.

Not for a threesome (commercial strip and 2 risers)

Interesting how the building in the background with same/similar colours as in "casa de Lego" by the stadium but looks so much better.

 

[Filip.Nowak]

Excavation is now in full force

So glad to see this one get going! It's really going to help Whyte Ave grow up a bit, much like the Raymond Block has. And maybe Southpark if more of those CRUs fill in.

It also adds a bit more depth to the area, rather than just being a one block commercial strip that abrupty ends or is interrupted to the south.

Less Whyte Ave, more Old Strathcona
