For 360 Main, as I think was previously mentioned here, they are in fact squaring off the round corner pieces on the tower.

You wouldn't have happened to get a look at the official height on those documents? In and around 140 Meters?

So a 45' difference between 300 Main and 201 Portage. For reference, 201 Portage is (according to the diagrams page, anyway) 36' taller than 360 Main, and I find that I have to squint to notice the difference between the two. So perhaps the extra 9' might make the status of 300 Main as the tallest slightly more obvious.

I knew the exact heights, but I like round numbers... plus I cheated it up a bit.

OKay jeez. Here you go! haha

Seems to me they're moving rather quickly with this half of the work compared to the first half.

Of course. I was on the bus and had a good view, so figured I'd get a photo.

^ godddddddddddddddd biff, we all know you're kidding

Anyway, I like the new corners... definitely a more contemporary touch than the old rounded one. I'm not sold on those horizontal black strips yet, but I'm willing to wait until the recladding is finished before passing judgment.

What, no one commented on my remark that the "corners look sharp". You know, 90 degree angles making them sharp and that looking sharp also means looking good.

It's a play on words.......comedic gold right there

Tough crowd

Well I for one appreciate the humour too Biff. There are a lot of eyes in here than mouths and I'm sure they chuckle too.

The reclad is moving at a great pace as I assumed it would as the trades get a good rhythm going from lessons learned doing the west face.

Great updates everyone! I'm keeping an eye on this entire project from afar and pumped about the transformation of the entire complex.
