does anyone have an idea when this might actually be completed based on the stage they currently are at?

From the photos on this thread, after they finally started cladding, they seem to be doing one floor every 3-4 months. It's ridiculously slow. There are 5 floors before they hit the smaller peaks which have 4-6 floors each (3 peaks), so at best 14 months in an accelerated fashion, 25 to 35 months if they keep at this pace.

The Wild Card: Whole Foods is targeted to open in one year (February 2027) so supposedly the building will have to be enclosed by then and work will have moved to the interior, with construction access in the courtyard via Wellington so that the King Street retail façade can open. They seem to be working on the heritage buildings now so I think that's the goal.

This generation's equivalent of The Tenor, but with more pizazz? (formerly known as Metropolis, Toronto Life Square, etc)

That's how I felt about it back in the days when I was a wee-un.

I have yet to understand the industry. What will it take for projects to be completed quicker? More workers? More organization? Money handled better?

I was wondering this too. Or is there something new and experimental with this particular building such as the materials and methods which is a source for delays?
 
I think it's more that proprietors and suppliers where having insolvency/financing issues...

...minus that, I suspect this project would be going up a lot quicker.

Too many factors for a typical construction project to even hit the estimated construction completion target. Delays, supply issues and even market conditions.

I think a major factor that has had an impact on a lot of projects was covid and supply chain, Now the tariff bullshit is definitely not helping at all. However on the bright side this will be one of the most unique projects in Canada and in the world when it opens. Based on the progress i think it will be at least 2 years + for the start of opening, The contents / finishes are really high end and will take a long time to complete.

Given WestBank's reputation on the West Coast, they value-engineered the crap out of their units...🤣🤣🤣
