One interesting statement in the above article is that the tower will be ready for the first tenants in June!
Some pictures from today (Mar. 27):
^^^ Apologies for the focus. I think the crane is taller than the condo. What a climb! Plus, the base is in the pit! I would hate to need a bio-break when up there! I wonder if... ahh nevermind.
When down at the plaza the buildings really loom large overhead (I find that impression does not come across at all in cell phone photos). Once the Nutrien Tower is up it will be Saskatoon's first area with a "big city" feel (IMHO anyway).
^^^ Lobby glass going in. It looks like each vertical lobby section is composed of three panes.
^^^ Construction fencing removed from condo entrance. There were pallets of grey bricks out front. I'm not sure exactly where they might be going.
^^^ It was hard to see the angled elements of the tower before the glass went on but now it really stands out when viewing it in person.
^^^ From the corner of 19th St. and 2nd Ave. I could not get the entire crane into my cell phone's field of view. It was impossible to get anywhere near the pit today.
