For that particular location, I would be happy with anything from 20 floors to 70 floors

Today they added one section in height. I took these pictures just after they got the section in.

I like these construction projects where the podiums are already built. They rise so quickly!

Just some close ups of them moving the forms to start the eighth floor (yesterday). Also outer walls are starting to go up (today).

Surrealplaces · #28 Posted **Nov 19, 2012, 6:22 AM**

^Nice updates Design-Mind!

Today is blowing snow and getting colder but the lower level is getting closed in. Outer wall board is being installed. They also unloaded steel studs to the fourth floor as well.

Deepstar · #30 Posted **Nov 23, 2012, 7:51 PM**

Thanks for the updates. I count that they are on the 10th floor! Amazing.

Design-mind · #31 Posted **Nov 24, 2012, 5:55 PM**

They are moving up at a rate of one floor a week. About the same rate as the Drake but twice the footprint. These guys are working at a quick pace . Some shots from yesterday and today.

Surrealplaces · #32 Posted **Nov 26, 2012, 7:54 PM**

Are they ever moving fast! Thanks for the updates.

Design-mind, what's your Flickr Id? I'd like to invite those photos to the Calgary construction group.

Design-mind · #33 Posted **Nov 27, 2012, 11:31 PM**

Yesterday they poured the columns and today they are moving forms up to the 11th floor! Exactly 5 days to do floor 10. Amazingly fast!

Photos I took today. Some window frames without the glass are starting to go up.

Alura update...

Design-mind · #38 Posted **Dec 7, 2012, 11:25 PM**

Lots going on. Construction lift going up on south side of building and moving of forms to start the 12th floor. Pictures I took today. It pays to have friends in high places, literally. LOL!

Design-mind · #39 Posted **Dec 10, 2012, 10:07 PM**

Updates from today. The workers usually see me taking pictures and wave. Today they posed, so I tip my hat to their work by posting them in fine form. Work has started on floor 12!

Design-mind · #40 Posted **Dec 10, 2012, 10:19 PM**

Forgot to mention that the 12 floor is getting really close to the crane so they will probably jump the crane one section tomorrow. I will try to get some pictures.
