More pics here would suggest the hotel is fairly freestanding as opposed to an integral part of the structure that holds up the roof. https://www.blogto.com/city/2016/09/how_toronto_built_the_most_hyped_sports_stadium_ever/

IIRC the hotel was a tack-on and not part of the original design that sits outside of the "ring" of the roof. No idea whether that means it can be surgically removed to open up the north end somehow or not, but having more of an open air feel out in the outfield would help, especially if that...

The contrast between this building and the MEC store about to open in downtown Toronto is pretty amazing. Same goes for the reactions to the building on the thread. Over in Toronto the new MEC store on Queen is regarded as the worst abomination to ever be built in our fair city. Maybe it is...

4528 seems to be out this morning either in service (finally), or perhaps doing an in service test. It's signed as a 504 this morning and at Dufferin Loop when I last checked.

It's "the cheapening" at a new and unprecedented level! Even for Toronto.

Curious exactly how much money or time they saved by re-using the frame of the old storage place in the new building. It seems like it would be a liability to have that old structure in there. Interesting to note that the BMW office across the road did the same thing many years ago.

The cutout to provide balcony space/light to the interior is nice. Avoids having any units overlooking that ugliness out back.

There is some impressive change coming to this little area when you add in 1684 and 1550 Alberni, plus 1616 and 1500 W. Georgia.

4573 finally showed up on the Nextbus feeds tonight. Currently sitting at Leslie Barns.

Nothing short of enforcement cameras, a cop literally standing there with a ticket pad in hand or a strong physical barrier would stop people who see all the signs and just don't care. Even with those measures, you'll still get some entitled drivers who would just go around them, claim ignorance...

Sneaky. 4573 has yet to show up on Nextbus for whatever reason.

Reddit has some talk of a construction accident at Hornby and Drake. Looks like maybe a concrete pump boom came down and the sidewalk protection did its job. No injuries. Seems to be in the same area as this pic from City of Rain -

Those temp offices hanging off the side are a "nope-nope-nope" for me. They have to be a little bit un-nerving to work in.

@drum118 Do you know if the poles and associated equipment are able to be "easily" removed down the line when they are no longer needed?

Neat tour and pics, thanks! I was looking at some stuff from the Confederation Line in Ottawa and they dug a single tunnel with both directions rather than one tunnel for each. You can see it here in this video timelapse of the line: Makes for a different feel than the single tunnels and feels...

4524 is out in service as a 501 right now. http://ttctracker.ca/detail.php?v=4524

Seems heat is a bigger issue than cold although both are manageable according to the info linked below. In cold, the curing process itself generates heat sufficient to keep things within the required range assuming it's a big pour and you do some insulation around the forms and exposed areas...

Nice to see the white panels going in now that will start to define the facets better. I'm hopeful looking at the various cutouts and angles on the concrete balconies and other little concrete details that we'll get what the renders show.

4523 is tracking now (at the Leslie Barns). http://ttctracker.ca/detail.php?v=4523 4522, which was offloaded a few days before 4523, hasn't shown up yet.

Quick PS job to extend the cornice to the edge of the new build.
