    Toronto Toronto | Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    You need to look at it through the eyes of younger me, almost 20 years ago, when I was living in a borough where no buildings were taller than 5 storeys. Imagination filled in a lot of the gaps!

    Here's a very old image I still have on my hard drive. It's dated 2006-01-12. I was still living in the UK at the time. I remember thinking this was a vision of the future, but in retrospect, this was likely my first case of being deluded by renders!

    The (very slow) ascent skyward...

    Toronto Toronto | Freed Hotel & Residences | 219m | 63s | Freed | AS + GG

    Never thought I'd say this, but I'm feeling a tad sentimental about seeing the demise of Crocodile Rock. It was a bit of a dump, but it reminds me of when I first moved to Canada almost 20 years ago. My first job was just down the street. I hope the giant bottle of Corona that was the roof gets...

    Tall Poppy Syndrome is an attitude I'm very familiar with from my home country (UK), but contrary to your observation, I don't see anywhere near as much of that from Canadians, who I find to generally be supportive of innovators. Not saying it doesn't exist, though.

    The crane was raised by one section early this morning (or maybe last night, as I wasn't paying attention). There are two more sections waiting in the wings.

    The crane is coming down this weekend, weather permitting.
