All these shots get me very excited for the next tower. This area needed some height so badly

Love that angle. Gives off big city vibes.

Plus add 5 more floors AND add a 45 storey next to it?! Wowzers!

It's crazy how tall this one is compared to everything else near. Makes Intact look absolutely tiny.

Hopefully a few more projects around this height will get the go ahead in this area

Its almost like they put that one small section of cladding up as a teaser.

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.
