RE: Charlie West (Charles & Gaukel) | 31 fl | U/C - Momo26 - 07-21-2020
I hear what I perceive mostly as the road and vehicular traffic, plus iON lady. Were there a lot of construction site specific sounds ie. Tools etc?

Another monochrome shot from our office. Three more floors added in July.

It's about the same pace as the (much smaller) Arrow 2, a week and a bit per floor.

Maybe things will slow down a little once the weather gets cold again?

I counted 21, 5 for the platform and 16 on top. Either was, though, most floors of any building in Kitchener (if we're not including underground).
It'll be interesting once this is done for sure. I imagine being on the 31st floor will give you quite a view. Really anything over 30 floors starts to look great.

I wonder how long it will hold the title of Kitchener's tallest? I'm thinking it will only be for four or five months, or less, until the Duke overtakes it.

But even that will be temporary, until the spire being assembled in secret within Charlie West is extended.

Start reading from “grew incrementally”.

Haha nice. Good find.
Man I'm all for cool designs/less square footage per floor as a building goes up, for aesthetics.
