    Pretty sure the second crane is still there. It was there yesterday, and it'd have been awfully windy to take it down today

    I'm a little surprised they were able to register the sold units with all those liens on the development. I'm not sure what the plan ever was for the commercial side. It seemed like there was no effort at all to get to any of the base fit-out

    Driving home I noticed the bridgework for the Lower Don bridge is progressing. The first pair of falsework uprights to support the arch have been installed, so we may see that take shape pretty soon

    Saw the first couple pieces of steel up on the danceflloor for the lower Don bridge. Looked the first pair of pieces for the truss. Had attachment points for where the arch will eventually connect

    211 Jarvis St. (Manga, ?s, ?)

    I've been inside 207 and 209. There's not much to save in there

    If it was flat it wouldn't fit on the truck.

    One system has a mullion bypassing the slab at the top of frame, the other system has a mullion bypassing the slab at the bottom of the frame. Same difference. The horizontal joint would be less consistent for the windowwall, but what percentage of the wall even has a horizontal joint, given all...

    A frame is a frame. Why, exactly, do you think glass blocks couldn't have been installed into a windowwall frame?

    I wasn't meaning to complain about the denting and oil canning, it actually kinda contributes to the texture, I was just curious if it was intentional or a happy accident Some of those dents look like someone took a deadblow to the panel...

    Is the denting and oil canning intentional?

    Most (nearly all?) of the cladding was fabricated and sitting in storage. There are other things in play. The mockups had all kinds of issues, which they're probably discovering as they get into it. Can't really skip floors because of all those interfaces at the inside corners where the cubes...

    Kind of clever, really. When you know the wall doesn't have a snowball's chance of not leaking, plant some vines and call it part of an irrigation system for a living wall

    They're hard to make out, but I'm pretty sure those are curtainwall pockets on the edge of slab, going up as high as they've poured. I could see it switching to windowwall once they get to the floors with the balconies. But maybe that high up the details won't be as noticeable

    Those baseball diamonds will have a remarkably different backdrop in a few years, but the kids will still be playing. Shot last year, before Rushden Station started climbing

    I've heard that the Valu-Mart is closing February 2026. It sounded like staff were being notified

    Looks like they're around 75/76 storeys. We should see the taper starting soon

    Wow. All of that, and they *still* have to field glaze that many frames? I hope that's not a sign of things to come

    They were putting up new overhead protection along Coxwell in the last couple days
