They have brought in five mote sections for the tower crane. I thought two would have been sufficient considering they are already on the 31st floor. Maybe they know something we don’t.

Phase 2?

If they start phase 2 before this fall, I’ll personally convulse on the floor.

What I’m curious about was the whole thing with a new Corona station entrance. Is that still happening in Phase 2? Could be a cool thing to have something similar to Burrard happen here.

Still just the two panels of cladding.

The northside of the building has more windows than the southside..

Sometimes I ask myself "why do I get so excited about something as seemingly mundane as a building being built, which in of itself usually takes years to complete?" And "How would I explain my excitement to my family/friends who most of the time couldn't care less about Edmonton's roster of construction projects and new developments?" and I often I can't find the answer.

With that said, I think your post encapsulates what I've described above very well and I'm loving it.

Because it's a passion for something that, one way or another, is an art form. There's a certain poetry in how cities grow and transform, like a living organism. In understanding how sometimes the smallest things can shape decades and change how so many people interact with their surroundings.

These things you don't explain, nor should you. Would you explain enjoying a particular musical genre, or a painting, or poetry?

Buildings and construction have been my life from as early as I can remember. First colouring drawings in my father's office, then getting on site years later. to now full career. At times the chaos and then the rhythms and flow during construction. Have always fascinated me.

I cannot wait for Phase 2 to get going and completely change that corner.
