Duke Tower Kitchener | 39 fl | completed
I see the concrete pump top lying on the floor, wonder when that gets hooked up? Also, guessing the concrete pump will self climb like the crane? Also lots of concrete stairs. Oh, also thank you for the update picture.

You can also see the pump line that gets the concrete from the road to the placing boom. As always thanks for your updates.

I was reading that MAY (or MAR?) 2019 Record article on the 'Billion dollar development boom in Kitchener'...this project described to 'loom over' Frederick and DTK lol.

Found that choice of wording interesting since 'loom over' to me sounds low-key negative.

Hey man, this is where we are headed.

That's exactly what it is.  It was extended earlier this week.

I know many have talked about how the construction works on this thread. Here is a link to a blog that shows information of how City Center Condos Phase 1 was built. Very neat!

Haha I agree.  I was wondering if they chose the paint colour so that it was more difficult to tell what is rusting lol
