I find it funny so many people still call MCC "the Square One area."

Because that's what everyone calls this area besides skyscraper geeks

Oct 11-2nd crane base poured.

This site started excavation a year ago already and they are barely two stories down!! Whats the cause for being so slow? Must be more than covid challenges.

Looks are deceiving when you are looking at such a relatively large site. It is probably 4+ levels down.

And the same site owners are fencing up for exchange towers south across the street. Here’s hoping there is zero delay and as soon as the digging crew is done here that they can move across the street and start working there.

I doubt that. It looks like the south site is not being prepped for excavation but rather for a parking lot or sales/construction office.

Not the best shot but chain link fencing is visible around the graveled portion of the property.

Yeah. It was posted earlier in this thread that a sales office is going there.

The area looks way too big for just a sales office and parking. This is an older shot but better shows the footprint:

Compare it to this shot of the Voya sales office which I found in my files:

Yes, I'm sure it will eventually be a sales office but right now it looks more suitable for trades parking or an equipment or material lot.

2nd tower crane is up!

EX3 got shorter. From 72 storeys to 66 storeys.

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

They've lopped off the black box part at the top.

That's a drag. The height was one of the few things this building had going for it.

There are so many parking lots all around Square One area. It will probably take 30 years before they are all filled in.

Mississauga skyline by 2050 will look amazing. Too bad I will be in my 60s

I feel the same way :-( Who knows, maybe the carpark infill will be completed by the mid-late 2030's or 2040s?!
