How about nice location...maybe nice is a stretch but good walk score?

Good grief, sometimes I think downtown growth = condos + pharmacies.

Presumably this thread is going to break the record for most photos of a crane post install.

It certainly looks different but can anyone describe or explain the technical difference is any? Also was there an issue last week why the installation wasn't completed? This sort of thing is usual within 24 hrs no...?

IMHO, the entire entrance, signage included, is just cheap and a disservice to the building overall.

Does the city have the power to do anything here without going to court? I mean it's a bit ridiculous now.

Agreed. Thought people on here were perhaps overreacting until I saw that face of the building in person.

I understand the circumstances may be different for each building but the tower crane seems to still be up at a relatively mature state of construction.

The OMB release includes "....the Applicant has agreed to make a substantial financial commitment of approximately $21.9 million toward community...". That is a fairly substantial number. What is the basis for these amounts? Is there some rough guideline or formula based on the number of units...

When we do anticipate move-ins?

The City of Toronto website shows a planned closure of Yonge St. between Queen and Shuter from Oct 28, 11 pm through Oct 29, 11 pm. EDIT: Contractor listed as Superior Crane.

What are you referring to?

I'm guessing there's a website that explains the following..or perhaps there's an existing thread on UT. But when I look at the typical 50-odd storey condo going up these days (e.g. Karma, Casa II, etc) I see round support columns. This building appears to be rectangular supports only. Can...

This has probably been asked plenty of times but what's the floor (concrete) thickness here and is it a roughly standard value across typical buildings or engineered?

How do they take down the construction elevator mast/frame?

Saw an add for this development in "Metro" today. Further if I understand correctly, the "appeal" was allowed per the OMB website.

Just realized this thing has 2 elevators...seems crazy for a 32 storey building, not withstanding the unit count of approx 230. Methinks there's a good chance of notable issues in the future.

Thanks mucho. Not to go off topic, but I was in James Cooper Mansion recently (32 stories, 4 parking levels, approx 280 units) which also has 3 elevators. One was out of service and man it was a royal pain. I know this is not some new crazy thinking but it's just a recognition that with the...

Can anyone advise the no. of elevators in this bldg? Thanks.

so just to be clear, is this now the 4th crane on the roof? original tower crane > larger red derrick > smaller red derrick > current blue derrick
