Thx! Great vantage points to give us lots of updates!!

Also , you can see the former hotel and shelter looks to be getting demolished

... plus the Grosvenor tower to come as well (blocking Vancouver House?)

^^ The last column below the last floor plate looks to be wider than the ones below. This must be because of the cantilevers that will be extending out.

Might block a bit of it but will be to the right I think.

A few quick shots of mine from this weekend as I went by on my bike. They were getting ready to raise the crane in the foreground.

Anyone know why they setup those water pipes above the steel support tubes to spray water onto them?

Don't think I have seen that before. Best guess: to control the temperature so the summer heat does not cause expansion stresses. Those members could expand by inches from the air temperature and sun on a hot day.
