Is this property owned by the City, or by 2-Spirits? If this property is/was City-owned why wasn't this used for the Woodbine second exit instead of expropriating the property on the north side of Strathmore?

I've trained many apprentices... at least one thing contributing to the decline that isn't widely spoken of is the pool we recruit from. It used to be that everyone was someone's brother, nephew, son, fishing buddy... and yes nepotism was rife and yes it excluded many people, but when Tony was...

Whenever that medical building to the south gets redeveloped I've always hoped it gets reoriented to animate the south side of that park.

You may have more insight than me, but I was assuming from what I saw that those frames had a fully sealed backpan behind that block "unit", so that even if the intermediate points failed you'd still have a drain path behind the unit? Not something you'd want to rely on, but to get through...

The glass blocks aren't integral to anything. It's a standard curtainwall frame with blocks mounted where you'd normally have glass or a panel. The real leaks are going to happen at all of those transitions and interfaces. Inside corners, outside corners, stepbacks, balconies...

Those bunks look awfully weathered... almost as if they've spent a couple years at an outdoor facility in Waterdown or something

The fences are down along Jarvis. The sidewalk is oddly narrow in front of it. It's all being completed much as it was built: with an almost malicious indifference to quality. This is the city's next Ice.

Any confirmation of the supplier? I think I recognize the system, but hard to tell in the pictures

70 to 80 million over 10 years is more or less what the Science Centre needs in remediation, no?

The added childcare space is nice given the loss of the Workaround. It'd be great if they could somehow add the coworking thing to it. The theater makes sense. I could see it being well used. Extra space along Woodbine is good. The POPS sounds kinda useless. Maybe that's a protection for an...

So this is curtainwall, at least on the lower floors? That looks like it has pockets at the slab edge

I went back to look at the EA again, I think those stairs lead up to the northeast end of the new GO platform, and then the OL platform is further down, in the middle of the GO platform. And in the rendering the little shelter structure above the stairs would be for GO. So yes, those stairs are...

Is this thing really just a bridge? The forming and rebar have me thinking it's a platform. There's a huge hollow box just south of Eastern (you can see it in kotsy's photos) that look like it'd be access up to track level

Driving through this area often, I still can't understand the location of this. It's silly how close it is to the Leslieville stop, and it's far from where the real density in East Harbour will be. The masterplans for East Harbour have always shown a more central location, so is this platform a...

Yes, I'm aware of how a crane comes down. But I don't understand how they secured the bottom of those "floating" frames above the opening if there's no chicken head for the frame to lock into, and how they're going to slip unitized curtainwall frames into that opening afterward. I'm sure they...

I didn't notice that before, on the Yonge side. If that's curtainwall I'm not sure how they skipped floors for the crane's braces. Don't think I've seen that before. I'm curious how that gets filled in later

Permasteelisa

It'd almost look as high as the tip of the CN tower from that perspective, no? If Phase 1 is 65 storeys, and this one is more than 1 5x the height...

Looks like they've setting up flying forms now so it'll definitely speed up. Typical floors, plus all the time savings from not having to set up scaffolds

Shoppers World itself is a redevelopment site, so I wouldn't assume this is a forever thing
