The rest of the site consists of a maze of red heavy-duty steel and aluminum shoring frames and supports as subsequent floors are poured.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TheTaylor_Construction3.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[201699]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-201704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TheTaylor_Construction3.jpg\" alt=\"TheTaylor_Construction3\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When completed in 2021, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/architect\/diamond--schmitt-architects-inc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diamond + Schmitt Architects<\/a>-designed tower will rise 36 storeys and feature dark, brick-like cladding and inset balconies that create a grid pattern.
