Things don't look good here, all the heavy equipment has been removed from the site.

That's pretty odd... to just stop demolitions in the middle of things. You'd think that they would have worked out any issues with the TTC in the past couple of months. I hope someone can find an update for the situation.

Although from that picture taken from on top of the subway tracks I can see why the TTC would have a problem. If any part of that wall falls on the tracks while trains are in operation, it could kill a lot of people.

I went into the sales office to enquire about the delay and the lady confirmed they are indeed having trouble with the TTC. No word on a resolution.
 
Looks like they finally worked something out with the TTC. Judging by the heavy duty lights on site (pic 2), they'll be doing the work at night when the subways stop running.

Something about Mr. Gorbachev comes to mind. I can't imagine how frustrated the buyers in this building must be at this point.

its too bad they couldnt have sorted out the demolition during the sales phase... ah well, eventually it'll be a nice addition to the "NoYo" skyline!

Shouldn't that be (the unfortunate sounding) NoBlo... as in North of Bloor? Since it is riffing on SOHO in New York, which means South of Houston.
