amazing, suddenly there are 5 projects on 5th st.

not to mention 9 residential towers under construction or completed on 10th in the last five or so years

Crane is moving and guys on site. She’s definitely alive.

this is my new favourite thread

oddly they were loading these, not unloading them

I wonder if those were wooden box caps used to protect re-bar?

the sotawall website says its cutainwall systems, odd they were there for any reason at this stage

If they were planning to be many floors up at this stage and starting installation, and when you have half your lot available as a lay down yard, why pay for storage?

Part of me is still nervous it’s just more site cleanup and taking the crane down.

Need more official proof of construction.

 

[Surrealplaces]

I'm a bit nervous. It's looking more like it might be cleanup.

starting it up is more surprising than shutting it down for sure, though removing that sotawall doesnt seem like a deal breaker to me. why would they have been there in the first place? seems like something that would just be in the way.

Wasn't there talk about capping it once the podium was finished back when it was supposed to be an office development? Maybe it's left over from that

Good point. The original office design would have been curtain wall for sure. It's strange that any kind of glazing would at the site at this stage, unless they were storing it there and now have to move it.

I feel like removing all this stuff from it is a good sign, no? They can't have all that crap down there while it's under construction. Plus they did say they needed to do a bit of demolition and reconstruction before they could go vertical. One could easily assume that this demo and reconstruction would take place in the parking lot in order to structurally reinforce it for a 100+ meter tower.

I don't think they would want to store curtain wall outside if they didn't have to, really odd that there was glass there.
