What's with the tiling? That's one swanky parking garage.

I've seen those tiles used before, but don't know what they are called. IIRC, they pour concrete over top of them.What's with the tiling? That's one swanky parking garage.

That makes sense. More sense than some ballin' tiled parking garage for Telus execs.

I think those "tiles" are the concrete forms.
Awesome to see the core rising!

Great shots! I don't know if it's the angle of photos, or maybe I'm just not perceiving the scale of it correctly, but the core seems small for a building of this height, a dual-use building at that.

Yeah I've been thinking the same thing, but I guess they'll make it work somehow!
It's definitely a small core. I think the building, especially the top of it will be very slender.

The office core is much bigger

Ok, I see from those photos now that there's a second core rising beneath the first. Interesting, I've never seen one built that way before.
