That would make sense as we are almost at the halfway point of the building

Can we get a donation started for Bloor to get a drone would be awesome getting overhead shots of some of these pours 
Do they use a different mpa of concrete between the floors and the columns. Just wondering because I have seen some projects that will start in a section and proceed to form and pour their columns same day as the floor that they just completed. Don't know if that is accomplishable but thought I would throw it out there. Seems like work and staff on site has picked up
Edit. Which would actually make sense as you would want to show progress in order to secure further loans and lending if this project is trying to reach 91 stories as is envisioned

Yes - typically vertical elements (columns, shear walls) have higher MPas than horizontal elements.
The verticals will decrease in strength the higher you get up the building.

If their goal was to show progress they’d be installing finishes on the lower floors. The streetscape gets way more exposure, and from there the progress up top has been imperceptible. Most people think this project has been barely worked on in months and it’s easy to see why.

This is just an excuse for you to go introduce yourself to your neighbours in the penthouse! You don't have to mention that you only want to know them so you can take pictures from their place; you can pretend to actually like them and find them interesting!

Yes, but you need to remember that the progress that we want to see is not the progress that a developer or a investor would want to see. They would want to see floors being poured and building raising to height. You can get all of the streetscape and facing on that you want. If the building isn't rising, that can only go so far to draw people in

...and while Mr. BloorMan is at it, he can invite Mr. Benito along as well. <3

Given the management change, I think Apple might come back. This will give confidence to Apple that the project is now being managed by the same people who built the Well. Also the space at the floor was specifically designed for Apple.

I wonder what the law would be on that. I know you don't technically need permits for <250g drones like the DJI Mini....Can we get a donation started for Bloor to get a drone would be awesome getting overhead shots of some of these pours
