Great update thanks!

What a massive parkade relatively speaking.

Great Update

It is nice to see that there are a few people willing to provide some updates. Now that the weather is starting to improve the pace will probably pick up.

That's some good progress since I was there. It looks to be getting close to ground level on the west side of the building.

Kind of a double post, I suppose. I took this picture of the Pearl site from across the river yesterday.

Anyone got an official height so the thread title could be updated?

Nice quote from D&L Coldrsx.

Here are some photos of the Pearl I took about an hour ago. It's getting close to ground level now!

Yeah, you'd kinda think by now someone would have a height for this building since it is easily Edmonton's tallest building U/C.

Large Pour today

There is going to be a large concrete pour onsite today, around the 450m3, I will upload some pictures as I take them! BTW, this is my first post. I love this forum!

Based on what I've seen, the height is at least 110 meters. I think it will be very similar in height to Icon II. This is only speculation, of course.

Thats seems huge... I'm comparing to pours of that size I used to see during whare house construction... and those used to cover huge slabs...

I stopped by the Pearl site today just as they were undergoing a pretty hefty concrete pour. I got a few action shots of this happening. The progress from week to week is pretty impressive and the building hasn't even reached ground level yet.
