Have to love the guy with safety rope that looks like itās tied off to somewhere near the wall behind him. Fall from that position and rope will make him a swinging Pendulum slamming him into wall 4-5 floors lower down 
Heās tied off to the member heās standing on.
He also has another fall arrest where if he were to fall, heād fall about 6ā and hang. Itās the loop you can see barely immediately underneath him and the member.

Ok. I took that loop to just be part of rope he is holding. If itās a separate safety devise makes more sense. Was kind of surprised at way it looked, cause did not think contracted would perform such as gross violation of safety rules. OHSA would come down on employer like a ton of bricks (pun) if caught them doing that.
Guess should have said āsafety rope, hope thatās not what it looks like,ā

From this angle it really does blend right into the building to its left/south side.

Well, I was bored at work and decided to use an engineer scale and a pencil to rough scale the remainder of FNB from the money shotā¦

Holy cow nice job! I honestly thought they must have finished the tower in the last few hours when I first saw that picture lol

ā¦adding some loose change to the money shot. It might not make much of a difference, but it will pay the taxes.

Iām very curious as to how that was planned. I believe it was originally intended to be a Charter Square I and II, but Iām pretty sure these two buildings actually have two different developers/owners.

That I didnāt know. I thought that the two buildings were intended to be sibling buildings.
Disregard. Itās the same developer. I thought the plan for the second tower was scrapped and the lot sold. Guess they just sat on it for awhile instead.

If Iām not mistaken, Charter Square I and FNB tower were both developed by Dominion Realty Partners. However, Charter Square I was sold after it was completed and occupied.
