We gained an extra 3M which is better than losing height. Yay

^That is awesome! So nice to see lots of workmen and concrete trucks around the site

Forms removed from core. Taken from the top of the Bow.

It ain't much but we'll take 10' more anytime! Usually they start chopping here and there. Man, I want to see this thing up!!

The re-bar is it's own mini skyline

Great to see this one up and running to get rid of abandoned "capped" site.

There was no arriVa 54 proposed. arriVa 42 and the third tower were both going to be 44 floors. Eventually the third tower was reduced in height to maybe around the 20 floor mark and would have been a hotel, that was right before Torode went bust.

It would have lead to a nice look, as arriVa 42 (44 floors) would have been on the SW corner, and the hotel tower on the NW, and arriVa 34 on the NE corner. So we would have ended up with 3 towers of differing heights on the block, which I think would have looked very good.

Bigtime: Ya, I know but the "54" version was being kicked around here and if I remember, somebody did a render/mock-up of what it might look like! The good 'ol days....

So nice to see this one actively moving along. I'm really anxious to see how this looks in the skyline when it is topped out.

TallBob · #79 Posted **Apr 23, 2013, 6:21 AM**

^Me Too!^

lots of rebar going in as well as placing forms around columns.
