Thanks for the picture - here it is for everyone to see.

Woa, 6 floors above grade already...this thing is going to overtake the buildings nearby pretty soon...

This is great to see, and before too long, you will be able to see this one rising up from behind city hall, when viewed from Laurier...

Davis137 · #**147** Posted **Nov 2, 2012, 8:12 PM**

I think this one is now at 10-12 floors above grade, and while small-ish overall, it looks as though it's going to be a fair bit taller than the extended stay buildings right behind it when finished...

Taken yesterday.

Those outside fascia pieces look awesome! If the building has stuff like that on it, it might actually out-class HP 1 and 2...

bobcage · #**150** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 8:48 PM**

WOW - black granite is going to look nice!

kevinbottawa · #**151** Posted **Nov 16, 2012, 10:23 PM**

Whatever that other material is that they're using for the exterior, it already looks dirty. You can see it in the picture but it looks worse up close.

Davis137 · #**152** Posted **Nov 17, 2012, 9:07 PM**

They are raising the crane on this one today...

bobcage · #**153** Posted **Nov 18, 2012, 1:36 AM**

I went to see this today, I saw a few off coloured in the back of the building but the front and side pieces looks pretty good --- the rain will wash off the few dirty pieces.

also, the rain changes the colour of these - it becomes dark grey

bobcage · #**154** Posted **Nov 18, 2012, 2:28 AM**

no raising of the crane....yet

Is that the same stuff they used at Claridge Plaza because parts of that building still look dirty despite the rain and snow that have fallen?

not the same as claridge.

I believe Hudson park has similar stuff

It will be taller than the extended stay suites behind it by the end of the week (actually, the piers/pillars for the next floor are already higher than the roof of all of the buildings around it).

OTSkyline · #**158** Posted **Nov 20, 2012, 12:14 PM**

You can actually start seeing the top of this one when you bus across Mackenzie King Bridge. It's starting to show behind City Hall... EXCITING!

trhgr · #**159** Posted **Nov 24, 2012, 3:52 PM**

It looks like the 6th level is higher than the others. Is there anything special on this floor?

Postmaster · #**160** Posted **Nov 24, 2012, 11:59 PM**

Looks like it's for support. I imagine to distribute the weight of the slimmer segment above so it isn't putting all it's weight on the area directly bellow? My best guess.
