...it's at the point where it starting to stick out on the T.dot WF skyline there. And where the CN Tower is also starting to glare down at it with a "Whose this whipper snapper?" narrative. 🙀
 
A few from the last couple weeks.

As fast as it’s rising, I can’t help but feel it’ll slow down once it reaches the “thinning” part of the building. Kinda like how One bloor west slows down at each mechanical section.

To elaborate. I mean after this point:

Although I’m not too versed into construction, I do know that when a structure gets a bit more complex it takes longer to build, but I could be wrong since the floor plates get progressively smaller it might go quicker. Who’s to say lol

When floors are identical they can use the same Forms again and again. Once floors start to change they need to adjust them each time. Mechanical floors are generally different and tapering ones are clearly a bit different. I am not an engineer so do not know how easy/fast it is to make adjustments to the forms but it clearly is going to add time to the work..
 
All depends on if column placement changes if not all that may happen is that the exterior columns are slightly angled and the floor plate shrinks as the building goes up going into the core which would technically speed things up as there would be less rebar to set each time
