If there is a crane now, than construction has definitely begun. A mod should update the thread title, please

It is a ways away but as of tonight I can see the cross horizontal portion of the crane assembled on the first crane and the vertical portion of the second crane appears to be up.

I posted these in the Regina Construction thread, I'll double post them here since it's more relevant to this thread:

Some of the parkade foundation walls have started, this project has a fairly aggressive schedule. Lots of work to be done to have the major portion of concrete to be done from October to January of this year. Those cranes are going to be FLYING to have all that done!

I used to live on the 11th floor of the existing res towers, I can confirm that the view is quite nice.

I visited the site this week, it appears that 2/3rds of the main floor under the towers has been placed and finished. There was a HUGE yellow and blue concrete pump onsite. This project is going to move along very quickly once the main floor is completed.

Here is a photo i took on Friday of the res towers being built.
