Excavation is nearing completion. A lot of mud with rock at the bottom which is about as good as you can get for around here. In fact, if you look at the crevasse they've uncovered it looks like it could very well be the remains of the legendary Johnson Street ravine. You should check it out.

...the dra asked if balconies could have opaque glass at least partly so stuff on them would not be subject to theft (since it could be seen presumably by 844 residents)...
They should have asked for something that would partly or fully obscure 844 Johnson and its effects from the rest of us.

We got notice of blasting at work the other day for this project

I suspect blasting will start here soon if it already hasn't.

Thread thumbnail pic has changed for this? Do we have more images?
edit: from the October, 2018 revisions doc. So these are the best images we've seen so far, yes? I'd say the design seems to come together much better when you can actually discern the texture of the lighter brick veneer. There's actually a lot of glass coverage on this building, too.

Are there plans to remove to overhead power lines on Johnson & Quadra, or was that just taken out of the renderings to make them look nicer?
Hopefully! I know that in Richmond pretty much every new development is required to either underground their lines or pre-duct for undergrounding in the future.

I walked past this site earlier today and I suspect the western side of the excavation may be nearly complete, but the SE corner and some of the eastern side will require blasting. I think it will be a while before the first concrete is poured here (shotcrete reinforcements notwithstanding).
Edit: I just took another look at Marko's last photo above and clearly there will need to be some blasting and rock removal more towards the western side as well.

They've got a heck of a long way to go. This thing has a four level underground parkade (bottom level is split, so about 3.5 actual levels below ground, plus the necessary footings below that). My guess is they won't start pouring concrete, provided everything goes well, until late June or early July.

I don't know. Once Vivid and this are done. I think that there will be a lot of locals that will not be so positive about how the facility there is being run. It can't go on like that indefinitely. At some point this is going to be vibrant downtown neighbourhood and prices of the condos will reflect that.
