Hopefully we finally see some cladding on this soon…

Some brave soul should go right up to the construction fence (where the information board is shown in the above pic) and take photos of the footings for the exterior wall -- that would be interesting!!!

It is coming along. Every time I go by, I do notice more done, but it is progressing slowly, sure isn't going to win any speed records.

Looks more like a grain silo than a building, so much cement.

FYI those are interior walls.

Cement is the stuff that binds concrete -- the interior walls are concrete -- sound isolating for all but base waveforms.

Exactly. Have to do as much as possible to keep outside sounds out.

This is definitely not easy to do for the rebar boys. I just wish they had a better tie-off points than what is seen here for their harnesses. The one in the middle lucked out.

 

[Clearshades]

I don't doubt their experience, but rule of thumb for tie of points is directly above or as nearest as possible. If an accident happens, the head injury will be less. You can't guarantee me someone won't have a heart attack while on the harness as it has happened.

Here are some reminder type renderings of what is to come. This building portends one of the most magnificent architecture outcomes in Edmonton (for sure) and Alberta (for sure) and in all of Canada.

Aren't those renders the ones that are outdated? Believe the living room/lobby area was cut back. I also find the performance area to be quite claustrophobic. Might be the render angle though.

 

[IanO]

I believe both the design, scope and uses were paired back; ie. this is the old proposal.

You can feel the street presence already...
