The below grade work is usually so slow because the concrete work is so complex and non-typical. Speed comes from repetition, when you can pull a form off of one pour and stand it up at the next one and pour again. The underground is usually filled with slopes, beams, stepped and thickened slab areas, etc. so you're literally custom building every form, then starting from scratch again on the next pour.

I was by the site today. You can see forms starting to rise above ground level. They are working fast.

This is a bit of silliness but I like that Charlie has "pulled ahead" of Arrow 2 (in a completely unfair comparison with arbitrary metrics), and am interested in seeing which of the two gets an actual ground floor in place first, and even moreso whether or not DTK can get there first. The pretend race entertains me a little too much.

I think Charlie West may be Kitchener's tallest for a remarkably short period of time ...

Is the one you're talking about Vierra village? By block line?

As the resident development sceptic, I doubt that Vierra Village will ever be built at anything like the scale of the original proposal.

With Drewlo, BT and Arrow 2 all due to be built in the next few years, as well as multiple Vive rental buildings, they may choose to wait a bit longer before bringing out the Virerra Village.

Hey, what’s happening with this building? What stage is the project in?
