You'd think they could use said water to make a really neat water feature for the foyer. Like a fountain. Or a wishing well. Or a dank hole down which undesirables can be thrown.
 
And if all else fails: hey, we're talking about condos with Veneto names, good alibi for any regular floods that take place
 
O God, don't let developers catch on...

We'll have The Chioggia, The Vicenza and the Schio....

Picture it: Steps from the TTC, it's: The Lepanto, Battle of.

No evidence of an underground river (yet). That's just standard shoring, not caisson walls, right?

That's correct, they decided not to do that because of the potential for collapse with the underground stream nearby. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the stream meanders underneath Bay Street and beside Murano on the other side of the street. I remember Murano having major delays due to flooding in digging out of their base.
 
I don't have any pictures, but walking by the site today I saw that the hole is getting really deep. Glad to see this one moving along.

Yesterday I noticed the installation of segmented metal pipes with multiple inlets around the perimeter of the excavation, and plastic piping snaking down to the excavation line. Looks like they're preparing for sumpin'.
 
^ The site has severe water issues. I haven't been by the site to see what you are describing, but it may be a mitigation method to deal with the on-site water.

Good progress continues with no indication of a slowdown (i.e. underground river)

 
Completion Date?

Anyone have any idea of the completion date. When I bought, it was 2010 but I can't see that happening... or could it?
